What Wave Auto Transport does

Wave Auto Transport is a licensed auto transport broker that arranges door-to-door car shipping between any two addresses in the continental United States. We do not own trucks. We match your shipment to a vetted, licensed and insured carrier in our network, on an open or enclosed trailer.

The carrier picks up and delivers at your address most of the time. Where a full-size truck cannot get down a street, the driver meets you nearby.

We ship any vehicle: cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, classic cars and vehicles that do not run. We also move vehicles for dealers and auction buyers, and each dealer account gets its own portal to manage shipments and see their status.

    Wave Auto did an awesome job. Sam was my coordinator and Useff and Ali were the drivers. Useff came and picked up my bronco and drove me to the place where the 18 wheeler was just to show me where the car was to be taken. That was very sweet anyway all was good my daughter received her car in San Diegoand they did an awesome job. Highly recommend them. Thank you.

    This is my first time shipping a vehicle. I was very hesitant and stressed out I had no idea how this works . I called and spoke to Sam he answered every question I had . He gave me peace of mind through the whole process. He had someone pick up the vehicle from my house dropped it off at the destination from Diamond Springs Ca to Long Island NY . There was no hidden or extra fees . My vehicle got to my destination with thin less time they anticipated . Iโ€™m very happy with this company and Sam . Thank you for making everything so easy . Definitely recommend them and will use them again !!

    Professional experience from beginning to end. I can not overstate the care and personalization I received from Wave Auto Transport. Their subcontractor was flawless as well. My Lexus was delivered scratch free to my front door. Very happy customer and will use again as well as refer. This was the best experience I had with an auto transport company and have shipped over five vehicles last 5 years. ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ
