We go the extra mile for you and your customers

It’s simple. You can’t sell cars you don’t have. For dealerships to make money, you need to have an impressive inventory of cars and great customer service. You can’t afford to waste time with late pickups and deliveries, insufficient communication, and vehicles that arrive in less than pristine condition. You need a transport partner that not only ensures vehicle transfers are as seamless and stress-free as possible but also streamlines your entire inventory management process.

No matter if you are receiving vehicles from an OEM, acquiring them from an auction house, executing a dealer trade, or delivering purchases to customers, McCollister’s guarantees unmatched service for our clients. When you partner with us, we become an extension of your business. You’ll have a dedicated account manager, eliminating the need for multiple points of contact to handle your vehicle transport. By combining innovative technology and equipment with our over 80 years of logistics expertise, we optimize your vehicle transport, empowering you to focus on sales and customer satisfaction.

Our
services

With our fleet of specialized transporters, crew of highly experienced drivers, network of trusted third-party partners (also known as 3PLs), and responsive operations team, McCollister’s ensures your cars arrive timely, safely, and securely so you can get keys in your customers’ hands faster.

Booking is easy through our online quoting system. Plus, we keep you connected through our real-time vehicle tracking and driver communication capabilities, so you know right where your cars are.

Our asset‑based fleet

We provide nationwide enclosed vehicle transport using corporate-branded equipment operated by industry-leading drivers and technicians. Our custom-made Kentucky XL-12 trailers are built to OEM specifications and are especially designed to protect low-clearance and wide-body vehicles. These best-in-class enclosed carriers offer hard-side transport with hydraulic liftgates, air-ride suspension, and soft strap tie-downs to keep your automobiles safe from debris, weather, dragging, vibration, and prying eyes. They are outfitted with telematics technology, which not only lets us know where our cabs and trailers are at all times, but also monitors driver behavior and vehicle diagnostics, so we can be sure we are providing an optimized and streamlined journey for your assets.

Our extensive carrier network

In addition to our asset-based fleet, we provide both open and enclosed auto transport services through our 3PL partner fleet. These businesses are well-vetted carriers that exhibit the same dedication, values, and commitment to excellence as McCollister’s does. Among other checks, the vetting process includes conducting verifications of appropriate insurance coverage, DOT compliance, and internal best practices.

Our 3PL network gives us greater flexibility than auto transport companies that are solely asset-based. It enables us to quickly adapt to market changes and respond to customer needs, ultimately delivering greater value to our clients.

Take Charge of Your Auto Transportation

Through our online quoting system, we bring efficiency, accuracy, and accountability to auto relocation.

Through this platform, you can get quotes instantly. Book your transport immediately upon quoting or have the quote emailed to you to book at your convenience. Track your vehicles every step of the way.

With quote-to-book functionality, you have full control—no waiting, no hassle. We can also white label this service, which will enable you to allow self-quoting on your own website, serving as an additional revenue source for your dealership.

McCollister’s offers three levels of service, suitable for different needs and budgets.

All of our shipment options provide the responsive customer service and attention to detail McCollister’s is known for. Our platinum package features white-glove service and McCollister’s own top-grade equipment. This option delivers the ultimate in quality, setting the standard for high-end auto transport. Our gold and silver services are performed through our 3PL network of vetted carriers that we trust and partner with throughout the US. These options are more budget-friendly and may offer a quicker turnaround than our platinum package.

Dealer Auto Transport

Choosing an incompetent and/or unreliable auto transportation partner can cost you thousands in lost revenue. Delays, damages, poor communication, and even thefts and scams can produce financial impacts that ripple across your operation, leading to significant losses that go beyond a single shipment. When vehicles sit idle, interest rates accumulate, depreciation increases, and resale value drops.

The losses caused by improper auto transport are not just monetary, however. Delayed and/or mishandled shipments will likely also harm your relationships with customers and other dealers, perhaps irreparably. In an industry where nurturing loyalty is fundamental to success, can you really afford to jeopardize your reputation?

Your customers and fellow dealers expect precision and professionalism just like you do. By partnering with a reputable and reliable auto transportation company, you can minimize frustration and inefficiency while maximizing revenue and satisfaction.

When you need to transport high-end, classic, antique, and exotic cars, you want to partner with a company that understands the unique needs of those vehicles and takes the utmost care of them. White-glove delivery provides you with an elevated delivery experience, including specialized handling, enhanced protection, and personalized coordination.

White-glove delivery is a core feature of McCollister’s platinum package. Some premium features include:

  • Customized company-owned trailers: Our white-glove deliveries travel exclusively in our fully enclosed carriers that safeguard vehicles from weather, road debris, vandalism, and theft. Hydraulic liftgates designed especially for ultra-low clearance vehicles help ensure damage-free loading.
  • Maximized protection: We are meticulous in securing your car safely, using soft straps, padded tie-downs, non-abrasive covers, and other measures that protect your investment during transit. Our carriers’ air-ride suspension also helps limit unnecessary movement, further reducing the risk of in-transit damage.
  • Direct supervision: Our dedicated customer relations team provides continuous oversight throughout the entire transport process. You will have one point of contact who will make sure your move is efficient, seamless, and headache free.
  • Real-time GPS tracking: Through our telematics systems, we provide 24/7 visibility of your vehicle’s location with updates available through our online tracking portal.

Please note: white-glove delivery is only offered under our platinum package.

McCollister’s has the network and capacity to handle all vehicle types, makes, and models, including sedans, SUVs, trucks, luxury vehicles, electric vehicles, classic, antique, and exotic cars.

Pricing is based on a number of factors, including route distance, vehicle quantity, and timing requirements.
