South Jordan, UT Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from South Jordan, UT is simple and straightforward. Here are the key steps:

Remove Personal Items: Take out all personal belongings, toll passes, and loose items from the interior. Carriers are not insured for personal property, and extra weight can affect shipping costs.

Clean Your Vehicle: Wash the exterior so you can document any existing scratches or dents with photos. This creates a clear record of your vehicle’s condition before transport.

Check Fluid Levels and Battery: Ensure your gas tank is no more than 1/4 full to reduce weight. Verify that fluids aren’t leaking and the battery is charged so the carrier can load and unload your vehicle.

Remove or Secure Accessories: Take off or secure any exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antenna extensions. Remove or fold in side mirrors if possible to prevent damage.

Disable Alarms: Turn off your car alarm to avoid issues during transport.

Provide a Key: Have a working key ready for the driver.

Yes. It is important that you, or another adult that you trust, is there for pickup and delivery of your vehicle. This designated person plays an important role in the shipping process including documenting the state of the vehicle and signing the Bill of Lading, which acts as a receipt of the vehicle’s condition.

Open auto transport is the most common and affordable option. Your vehicle is shipped on an open trailer alongside other cars, exposed to weather and road conditions. It’s safe, reliable, and costs significantly less—making it ideal for most standard vehicles.

Enclosed auto transport provides full protection inside a covered trailer. Your car is shielded from weather, road debris, and dust. This option costs 50-60% more than open transport but is worth considering for luxury cars, classic vehicles, exotic sports cars, or any vehicle with custom paint or modifications.

For most South Jordan residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport offers excellent value and protection. Choose enclosed transport if your vehicle requires extra care or has high value. Learn more in our open vs enclosed auto transport guide.

What if the truck can’t access my street?

Some South Jordan neighborhoods have narrow streets, low-hanging trees, or tight turns that large car carriers can’t navigate safely.

We’ll always coordinate with you first to find the most convenient alternative.

Door-to-door service is included in your quote at no extra charge. It’s our standard service because we know how valuable your time is.

While we may not always be the cheapest option at first glance, our commitment to transparency and reliability offers exceptional value. As a premium service, we ensure an stress-free experience from start to finish.

We transport sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, vans and motorcycles across the nation, including service to Alaska and Hawaii. At this time, we do not service boats, golf carts, ATVs, or RVs. We can ship both operable and inoperable vehicles so long as the vehicle can roll, brake, and steer, and that you can provide the carrier with a key to the vehicle. We can also ship electric vehicles.
