Great experience! It was very personalized and attentive. I had an emergency move and they managed to pick up the car just the next day after booking.
I'm really happy with the service!!! Fili is a really nice person and a professional.
Professional service and reasonable price considering they had to winch my car on the trailer.

Michigan doesn’t inspect private cars, and Pennsylvania inspects every one once a year, so a car that has spent its whole life in Michigan arrives without anyone having been required to look it over. On most cars that comes to nothing. But Michigan salts its roads all winter, and a Pennsylvania inspector is the first person obliged to look at what the salt has done underneath.
Pennsylvania’s inspection fails a car whose floor pan has rusted through or whose frame is no longer solid, and both are checked from underneath.
The rules name frame parts that are cracked, rotted or broken, and repairs made with tape, tar paper or cloth. Surface rust on its own isn’t on the list, though. The floor has to be rusted through far enough to be a hazard or to let exhaust into the cabin, and the frame has to have lost its strength. That is the kind of rust a few Michigan winters produce, low down, where nobody in Michigan had to check.
A shop with a lift can show you the underside before the car ships. If the frame is sound, the Pennsylvania inspection holds no surprises on that score. If it isn’t, you find out while the car is still at home, with your own garage to fix it before the truck comes.
If the move makes you a Pennsylvania resident, these are the state's rules for the car.
Checked September 2026 against PennDOT. Rules change; the state's own site has the final word.

Wash the car so its condition is easy to record, photograph it from each corner, and leave about a quarter tank of fuel. Take out anything above the 100 pound personal item allowance, and take your toll transponder such as FasTrak, E-ZPass or SunPass off the windshield, because toll gantries can read it while the car rides the truck. Have a working key ready for the driver.
Yes. Every toll, bridge and congestion charge the truck pays on the way is already in your quote, and nothing is added for them after you book.
