Just wanted to provide an update. I went through montway com for shipping. Selected enclosed trailer and the approximate dates for pickup and delivery. I completed the booking all online. Received a call a few days later from montway inquiring about my travel dates as i was listed as the pick up person on both ends. I told them if the couldn't meet my small window that I could drop the car odd at my dad's and the could pick it up there... That's what they ended up doing. Montway is just a broker and find companies to pick up the cars. Well as I'm on the road I get a call out of the blue from an auto shipper saying they are 25 miles away and need me to bring my car down to them in the next 2 hours. I was a bit caught off guard as montway says the do door to door service. I called montway direct to see what the heck was going on. They apologized about the shipper and said they would take care of everything.
Later that day I got an email from montway saying my car has been assigned to show car services. I looked them up and they seemed like a decent company. The email provided me with the truck drivers name and phone number. From there I dealt directly with show car services' truck driver.
SCS called and set up a time. Unfortunately the truck was too big to make it down the street so they ended up loading the car at the grocery store about half a mile away. The tailgate drops down creating a very low ramp so no scraping. Tailgate lifts up and in the car goes. They cover each car with plastic in case a car above it drips any oil.
Five days later the car made it to me in the exact same condition. I was very pleased with the service. I'll post some photos tonight. If I ever have to ship a car again I'll probably call SCS first to see if they can do it direct.
