Do your research and do NOT use these guys!!!
I never write reviews... but these guys left me no choice. I transported a car and I honestly wish I did more research. They have no regard for your property and then have no regard for your time when you need to work with them to resolve issues. I picked up my car from their Sydney depot and reported damage. I have been struggling now for over two months to simply get a call back. As per a previous review.. they are never available. Even the day of collection and highlighting the damage the lady was immediately irritated and gave me an email address I should work through.
While reporting a damage, at least be human..
I sent a car from Alice Springs, it was my brand new Toyota Camry.
There was not even a scratch when I sent.
But when they deliver, huge broken plates on the bottom of car. Massive hit happened during transportation.
I reported it , following are the response.. but not at all acceptable service.

Read morey from this distance of 1 metre noting what they can see as potential transit damage. SMB is not liable to mark every single damage on second hand vehicles and SMB is not liable to mark up this kind of pre-existing damage on the initial survey. This damage would have been missed on the initial survey due to the angle/positioning that the survey took place. Please note: From our standard vehicle receiving procedures we are only required to complete vehicle surveys from approx. 1m away from the vehicle. SMB is not liable for any pre-existing undercarriage/underside damage as the vehicles are only driven on and off the trailers. If light scratches and marks are not seen from this distance of 1 metre they can then be missed in the survey. If the vehicle is parked in a tight or dark place or a dirty/wet vehicle on collection SMB will not be held liable for any pre-existing marks not seen in these conditions.

Delivered without damage and personal belongings still in place.
Transported my vehicle from Perth to Sydney with personal belongings in the back. Vehicle and personal belongings arrived safe and sound. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Transit time was on the longer side of what was quoted, but I was told all carriers were busy clearing backlogs from recent highway closures.
Questions & Answers
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 ...)
how hard is it to track where my car is I'm not cranky just can't figer out your tracking system HELP please
Honestly Anthony, I have transported many cars with SMB, and I never needed to track my cars because it didn't make any difference in terms if delivery time. SMB is slow but cheap, they also transport...
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. If you need urgent transport they are not your best option. I hope this helps Thanksthanks for that just a little to keen to get it i guess
