Had them transport my Rolls Royce and they heavily damaged the car - $60,000 in damages. I was told the next transport was on them to gain my business and confidence back. I reached out today for a my free transport and they said they aren’t honoring it. So beware of this company.

We had another seamless experience with Shaughnessy. Leo was very professional and careful with our car delivery in early October 2025. He kept us informed re traffic or any delays. This is our 5th time shipping cars with Shaughnessy. The men are exceptional, they have removed their shoes in moving our car! It is an expensive service with Shaughnessy, AND it is a first class operation from start to finish.
