PROTECT GERSON AT ALL COSTS!! This guy went waaaay above and beyond to get my car shipped from Hawaii to TN in record time!! The reason why this was an exceptional transaction was because I was not on the island to be able to facilitate anything. My vehicle was at an auto shop and needed to be removed within a couple hours or it would be towed. Gerson arranged for the vehicle to be shipped inoperable and towed to a location that would hold it until it was prepped to ship!!! Total lifesaver and I will NEVER use another shipping company other than you guys!! Thank you Gerson for the outstanding communication, concern, follow thru, and ability to do what you did.

I have worked with Gerson at Coastal over the last 5 years as I have worked all over the country, shipping my car to each destination. The customer service from this company is top notch. Gerson has always gone above and beyond for me. The actual drivers and transport companies vary, some way better than others. I would make sure to research the reviews on transport companies they contract with as well. Thanks Gerson for always making sure me and my little Honda are always taken care of.

I traded my Mustang and purchased a vette in Arizona. I was looking for a shipping company. I called CAS and Jorge was able to help me. This gentleman is a professional, kind, helpful, and more importantly patient. He is da man and exceeded my expectations. My vette arrived safe and sound.

I recently used Coastal Auto Shipping to ship my son's car from San Juan to Jacksonville, and from Jacksonville to Kentucky via land transportation, and I couldn't be happier with the service! From start to finish, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. My agent was Gerson F., and his customer service was excellent, responsive, and very efficient.
He kept me updated throughout the entire process, and went above and beyond to make sure the process was smooth. My car arrived in perfect condition and even a day earlier than expected! Pricing was transparent with no hidden fees. I highly recommend Coastal to anyone in need of reliable, stress-free car shipping. I'll definitely use them again in the future.
