Sydney to Perth move – I recently moved my car from Sydney to Perth with Auto Movers, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Melinda, the auto representative, made the entire process incredibly seamless and stress-free. I had some concerns based on other reviews mentioning potential damage or missing items, but that was not the case at all. Everything was… Read more
intact, and my car arrived just as I left it, with only a bit of dust collected during transport—nothing unexpected. I highly recommend Auto Movers for their reliable and professional service!
Terrible service, use ceva or prixcar – I paid $2400 for autmover to deliver my vehicle with over $1k of damage between collecting and delivering, admit this damage was caused during their transport and still refuse to pay for repairs stating they don't cover broken windscreens. It happened in your care not before or after. Ive been contacted by several people since who have told me they wished they read my review before booking Show details
DAMANGED my car and charged be extra fees – Used SMB for the transport from Canberra to Darwin. Advised 20-25 working days it took 34 days to arrive. The car sat in adelaide for 3 weeks!!! no movement. Side mirror was damaged and snapped off, taking forever to resolve and be reimbursed for repairs. Charged $200 for excess weight over 80kg, terms and conditions says 100kgs allowed. Weight… Read more
my items when i got home and they didnt even hit the 80kg mark, i have requested a refund for the $200. Poor service, poor communications would highly recommend using prixcar. More expensive but a much better service.

DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS – Had a pristine prestige vehicle transported through this business and after leaving Melbourne in immaculate condition it arrived in Cairns with $4500 damage. They are not answering phone calls or emails.DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS, your car will not survive. Show details
Do not go here! – My car was smashed and broken into while sitting at the depot. They didn’t contact me until 2 days later. I never once got an apology. I had to call multiple times to get an update because they didn’t bother to call me once. The man was so rude, everytime I would try to speak he would yell at me or hang up. I paid to have ‘goods in car’ as I was… Read more
moving from Melbourne to qld and things were stolen. I also paid to have my car delivered to my house but ended up having to go pick it up because they did not drop it off in the time frame given. (10-14 business days). Not sure if the ‘good’ reviews on here are fake one from family and friends because I’ve personally heard and received nothing but an unprofessional service.

Worst company to deal with [Name Removed] was unprofessional – Worst company to deal with [Name Removed] was unprofessional to deal with they damaged my car and forged the damage paper but I have before and after pics to prove it
Horrible service- car got damaged – I paid for this service to transport my car from Perth to Sydney on the 4th of Feburary. When I picked up my car in Sydney, I noticed there are few new scratches on the left mirror of my car. I asked the man who worked there, he then said the scratches were pre-existed as marked on the condition agreement. I did have a pre-existed scratch on the… Read more
left side mirror (and that's how we agreed to have the left side mirror marked as damaged on the condition agreement). Photo 1 was the photo of my car right before I sent the car into their service, as you can see, there was only a minor pre-existed scratch. Then on the day I picked up the car in Sydney, the left side mirror is full of new scratches. (as shown in picture 2) Obviously the service did not admit that they were at fault. Their excuse was that when I and the service checked the car, I already had pre-existed scratch on the left mirror, so whatever new damages they cause on my car on the same area where the old damage was, they would not be responsible!! When I asked them to explain how they caused the new damages, they ignored my questions completely and asked me to sign on the invoice and leave. Called customer service, customer service said if I had to repair, I had to paid $600 for them to get it repaired???

Great service – We were very happy with the service provided by Automover transport. Car was picked up on time and delivered from Sydney to Gold Coast within 5 days .great price ,great service. Show details
amazing service – Can I say from start to finish we could not praise your company enough for the service you provided. Not only were we quoted the best price but everyone that we had to deal with from yourselves to the gentlemen that collected the vehicle from our home address to the guy that dropped the vehicle off in Gold Coast were amazing people and very… Read more
friendly.
We were advised vehicle would take between 7-12 days to arrive and exactly 7 days later vehicle arrived at destination.
So once again thank you very much for your amazing service and would highly recommend your services to anyone looking at moving or transporting their vehicles
Emma was awesome. Knowledgeable, organized and so helpful – Spoke to Emma about moving a car from Brisbane to Melbourne. Efficient, clear and thoughtful in the way she helped me solve my logistics issues. All in all it took about ten minutes to find me the right carrier, time slot and a good price. I would definitely use the service again. Thank you!

Fake Quote – Asked for a quote, received an email and when I contacted to book was told that the quote is automated and was quoted again $450 extra. Unreliable and fake quote just to get you interested. Not trust worthy, don’t believe them. Show details
Scammed my personal details – Website advertised an instant quote. I entered my personal details when prompted and then got the message “instant quote unavailable”. They should start with that instead of scamming my details from me. Show details
greedy company very unprofessional – Never ever even click on auto move website. crap third-class company. please do favour to yourself and do not connect them at all. Show details

Slow and no communication – Auto move used a sup contractor (snb transport) to transport my car from Adelaide to Brisbane. Car was 3 weeks slower than other companies, car was damaged, dirty and no communication. Staff were rude and photos of my car were taken and sent to people. I would not recommend using auto move or snb transport Show details
These people are gangsters – Do not use this company. Our vehicles went missing for 3 weeks, got told lies about their location, we ended up having to threaten to call the cops. Show details
Terrible – Made a booking, paid for service. No vehicle collected. When called was given 3 different excuses only to be told over a week after original pick up date they made an error with booking and will now refund me rather than correct their mistake. Can’t own their mistakes. Terrible service and will never use again nor recommend to anyone Show details
These people are terrible – Today I rang Automovers vas I recieved a text saying my car was meant to be delivered TOMORROW and was told my car is delayed 6 weeks as truck drivers have quit because they don't want a covid vaccine and the company doesn't want to mandate it. OK but apologise,warn me,work out a solution,have a plan in place because this has been inevitable for… Read more
a while! When I raised this I was told that the Pfizer vaccine is experimental, to look at the Pfizer website and to not believe mainstream media. When I then spoke to the manager , I again was given antivax rhetoric Wtaf?Where is my car!!
Do Not Trust/Use This Company – Upon booking with Tatiana, I was told my car would arrive in no longer than 3 weeks. I dropped it off on the 3rd of September. I have been lied to numerous times about where my car is only to find the truth is that they’ve lost my keys and the car hasn’t left Brisbane. 4 weeks later, still no car. A formal complaint was sent 3 days ago with no… Read more
response. This company is not professional, reliable or competent. Update: the keys were “stolen” from the office and they’ve had issues reprogramming a new key due to the interlock device I have installed. Now my car isnt starting because their technician has tampered with the device inside my car. Helen (the owner of compare quotes) is a selfish beast from hell that will not take ownership for their companies terrible service and will argue with you until shes black and blue. I paid for a service that I still have not received. Do not bother with this company. Save your mental health and find someone else.
Anyone else who has had an issue with this company call this number 1300304054 ombudman consumer protection
Outstanding customer service – Booking made at very short notice, Brooke was fantastic to deal with. The guys waited back at the Smithfield depot to enable us to drop off the car late on the Friday afternoon prior to Easter. It arrived today, which was great service with all the problems from flooding on the roads between Sydney and the Gold Coast.
Awesome company – Recently moved my car from cairns to Melbourne. Had trouble with other companies because of my ground clearance, brooke was extremely helpful and found a carrier to help me move my car. Came 2 days before the original ETA. Have recommended your company to all my mates. Cheers
Customer service Auto Move – Brooke is always able to help us achieve the best outcome for our clients in a fast and efficient way. Her assistance helps me do my job which keeps my clients happy
My Car Transport from Sydney to Melbourne – Booked my BMW for shipping from Sydney to Melbourne mid January. Received a call from the office to collect the car a day early as it arrived to depot before schedule. Very happy with the Communication and over all service. Thanks again

Very professional – Thank you for the team at automove, my arrived to Melbourne in perfect condition and before time. Very happy with the car transport service will most definitely user your website again.
Reliable company, smooth process – No fuss process, any questions answered, reliable service, competitive pricing. Brooke is very professional and client oriented. No wonder this company is in the business for many years. Highly recommended!
Feedback – Amazing service, affordable prices and friendly staff. They moved my car from Melbourne to Sydney smoothly and on time. The whole process was explained promptly and thoroughly. I highly recommend them.
Highly recommended – Highly recommended, everything went smoothly, my car was delivered on time in perfect condition, A big thank you to automove team in particularly to Brook for doing a fantastic job.
Excellent Service!!! – Bought a second hand car in melbourne and booked transport with brooke to Brisbane depot. The carrier collected the car from my house the same day and the car arrived to brisbane depot with no issues. Thank you for everything i'll use your services again in the future if needed.
Do Not Use This Company!!!! – My feedback is the customer service. Its dreadful. [Name Removed] is probably worst person I've ever spoken to in regards to anyone in the customer service industry. I don't name and shame however it was terrible. Its non existent, our car was dropped off on the 13 of Jan. Its still not here and its late and will be for another week and a half.… Read more
Like any customer you would be upset.
Reason being is no one has had the courtesy to at least you to give you a call or a heads up that has been some logistical issues as the driver had medical issue or so that's what I had been told (it happens) we are not unreasonable people and understand things can go wrong. We simply as a customer who has payed alot of money wanted to be kept in the loop where our car was.
We rang to complain.
The response from [Name Removed] was really disappointing. - we don't hurt our drivers on purpose was what she said. ( not the issue )
We wanted to be told our car was not going to be here for another week and a half. That's it.
We asked for a refund or some compensation. Its was a flat no.
We then asked to speak to a manager or a superior above her.
Response from [Name Removed] was she was the manager, an intense silence shortly followed after.
Worst part about the experience was the lies. We asked if our had at least left the depot [Name Removed] told us the vehicle had left and it arrived in Brisbane. We dropped the car off in Brisbane for goodness sake. At least know the customer you are lying to.
They are a third party, they used Melcrest and sucked us in by giving us an unrealistic time frame of when it would be delivered. Melcrest were at least apologetic on behalf of this company and showed some level of service to us as a customer.
Had it not been for [Name Removed] terrible service I wouldn't of bothered to leave this review. However it was that bad.
My advice to anyone reading this. If you go through Melcrest the have their own Drivers and transport. They might not give you the best time frame however at least they are realistic, honest and pleasant to deal with. The reason I had interaction with Melcrest was because [Name Removed] gave me their number...even though I hired AutoMove to transport my car.
Fair trading has been notified and I will be taking this further. Im also happy to remove this negative review should you at least attend to our complaint as there is no way to lodge a complaint with this company.
Have a lovely day [Name Removed], you clearly don't lose sleep over the service you provide. :)
One star because there is no option for zero stars – Took my money and didn’t even give a receipt. Don’t answer phone calls. Don’t orchestrate pick up. I wish I could cancel but they make sure there is no way to do that.
Not reliable at all – I was told that my car would be delivered to Perth in 20-25 days but after chasing with them on 22th day they started making excuse about business working days and still which was a complete mess up. Brooke was being so rude to me over the phone when I told her that she promised me something else and I have read the other reviews as well on here… Read more
so I wouldn’t recommend anyone to go to them. They aren’t professional and once they take money off your card then they are completely different people and don’t listen you. Very bad experience
Car damaged told not there problem – Got these guys to pick up my car from Sydney was told it would take 14 days, was told there services wouldn't be affected by covid 19. It took 6 weeks and when it arrived car was damaged and refused to help as it was part of there terms and conditions that I ah to pay to get it fixed. DO NOT USE THESE GUYS i have opened a case and reported them to the ACCC
They will take your money & provide no service – This provider is intending to keep 100% of payment made due to me cancelling this service. I wish to cancel this service due to Government Bans of non essential travel from COVID - 19. I also checked with the actual car carrier who have confirmed that if I cancel there is no issue as the car is still in the same position it was when I delivered… Read more

Car Transpart – It was a pleasure dealing with such a professional team,particularly Emily. Not only where you the best quote door to door and including luggage but the vehicle was collected in Sydney and delivered to Melbourne within thirty hours.
Choose this company for car moving! – After having a lot of struggles with other companies automove was so easy and helpful! Emily was very friendly and would check any details for me and call back right away, the service was outstanding and fast - couldn’t ask for anything better! Will definitely use this company again in further for any moving I may need! Cant express enough how… Read more

Brilliant Service – I recently used automove to transport my car from Brisbane to Adelaide, and not only was the price good but the girls in the office were extremely helpful. going above and beyond to help with any queries. I would highly recommend this service.
