Hello Mr. ***********************,
This is **** ( General Manager ) with Safe Auto Transport ****** the company you gave a negative rating ). Let me start by letting you know that we are sorry about your experience but we are not the company that you are complaining about or caused this issues. I have seen that you added documentation about Neptune Transport ( they are the broker you worked with ), they are the ones that should be receiving this negative rating. We work with brokers only by contract ( they assign us the loads with all the information, pricing etc. ) and we have never changed/asked for more money other than what the contract was setup initially. Brokers will give you all kind of false information in order to protect their interest ( they charge you a fee to make the connection between us, the transportation company that will actually do the work and yourself, the customer ). Again, our apologies for how your transport was handled by them but this has nothing to do with our company.
Kind regards,
Safe Auto Transport Inc.

I had a vehicle transported from ********** to *******. My vehicle was delivered damaged and I did not take delivery of the truck because of the damaged caused by the transport company. They agreed to fix it and 2 weeks late on sept 21 ********************************** a lot without them fixing it. I had to file an insurance claim with my own insurance to get it solved. They have not given their insurance agency the proper paperwork so they can complete the process. As told by his agent they can not force the insured to give them coverage information. And I should just get it foxed myself.Initial Complaint

The nature of the dispute entails a shipment of a 2021 Tesla Model 3 from CA to IL in which upon delivery damage was noticed. The damage was a flat right tire, and upon talking with the individual who dropped the car off, he indicated that it was common and that inflating the tire at a gas station would resolve the issue. Upon filling up the tire, the next morning PSI dropped again, and upon further inspection by ****** Tire, damage on the interior rim and a tire gas were noticed. (This damage was only visible from the interior of the wheel). As I dropped the car off with healthy wheels (all maintaining 40+ PSI) and body (the only marks on the **** of lading were surface scratches on wheels or body work), there was no feasible way this damage was caused by me and not the transporter. I have tried to call Safe Auto multiple times and sent emails which havent been responded to in over a week. Filing this complaint with Safe Auto in Roseville to get a resolution. Order Id : *******
