So far I am unhappy with SMB service. They should know that there is a holiday (Easter) during the process. I made 3 phone calls before Easter and asking when will my car arrive to Darwin from Melbourne and they said it would the there on 06/04 in the first call and then the end of 6th week and then 12/04 and today 06/04, they said it would arrive at the end of next week (16/04). The reason for these delay is because of Easter holiday!!! I have read all the review from the top and feel like they did this with more than 70% customers here. I will wait until my car come to officially write a review about thier servicw as one of the big issues here with them is they damaged customer car (I hope it will not happen to me but ...)

Read more non-running cars. Their estimated time is always correct if they said 4 weeks it will be 4 weeks knowing that the car still in depot or transit isn't important for me.

Car transport from Tasmania to Darwin?
I would not use them again. My car was two weeks late, with no communication from them whatsoever. My hat was also stolen from my car, with them not caring one iota

Just wanting to know where my Ute is? I’ve worked hard to pay for this Ute and I’ve trusted you’s with it. I mean I’m a business owner to and I don’t get paid my money until the job is done and in the required time. But you’s have been paid in full and i don’t know where it is the tracking app is useless people keep giving me info that don’t make sense I mean why take my business if you can’t for fill your obligation’s and then send me a email to give feedback before I even get my Ute back. Like this company is very UN AUSTRALIAN

Who do I make a complaint to about the company called moving car s its been 4 weeks n they today told me it will take 10 to 12 business days to drop my car I don't think they will even deliver it
Hi Sam,
Sorry to hear about that! ...
Read moreI had the same problem. They don't care at all. They promised to deliver in 10 business days. The car was delivered almost a month after it was dropped off. I couldn't do anything as well. Just kept calling to them... FabioSit down and wait cause your car will be in their depot for a month before they even load the truck with it....
how much to cart trailer from syd to brisbane plz?
Hi, the price is dependent on the dimensions of the trailer, what type of trailer and where exactly it was going from and going too. Feel free to contact us on 1300 362 085 or smb@smbaustralia.com.au with further info. Thanks, SMB
I currently have a classic vehicle booked with SMB to travel from Sydney to Darwin.
My booking # is C746684
Upon reading the reviews on “Damage” to vehicles I have Some concerns, specifically as the transfer is via Adelaide. The value on my particular vehicle is the original condition of the car. Any potential repairs required to the original condition will de value the vehicle considerably.
If you do not believe you can take ownership of the integrity of the quality of service and an undertaking of no damage to the vehicle I will take the opportunity to look for an alternative carrier.
If you do not reply to my request I will take it that you accept responsibility to deliver my vehicle in as received condition.
Yours faithfully
David Hague
Afternoon David,
