WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!

I want to start by saying that the original person I spoke with, Mark, was very helpful and courteous and trying to accommodate my needs. After, my initial call with him, however, everything went down hill from the moment I signed the contract. They called me multiple times a day until I signed the contract, and once I signed it, I could not get them to return a call or respond to an email to save my life.

On the initial call, 7-Star told me it would be no problem what so ever to have my car arrive in Atlanta 9 days from the date i hired them (2-day transit route from New York City), so I signed the agreement and let it sit over the weekend for a pick-up monday or tuesday. Monday afternoon comes around and I had to follow-up with them. I had to contact them myself to find out where the driver was, only to find out they had no driver scheduled yet...really, what were they doing the past 4 days since I signed the contract? Same story continues for days and in the end, they could not find a driver to meet the 6 day delivery time frame I gave them, they refused to take any responsibility and continued to push back on me that they have 10 business days from pick up date to find a driver for me because i agreed to that when I signed the contract. They want to hold me accountable to a paragraph in their contract despite the fact that they gave me their word it would be no problem to arrive well before the deadline.

They refused to give me a refund on my deposit which was charged to my card the day i signed the agreement, and I am STILL waiting on my call back from the manager!

The customer service was horrible, and when I demanded help from a manager the customer service reps made comments such as:
1-this is not a Fast Food service where you can get it the way you want
2-if you would stop calling us, we could do our job of trying to find you a car
3-we don't work for free, so we wont give you a refund for trying to find you a car per the 10 business day clause
4-the other brokers are all liars, they can't move the car any more than we could
5-you are the problem, not us

In the end, I was more angry than I have ever been at anyone. I made a 7 p.m. phone call to another auto company and they cost was a little bit higher, but they found a driver within 10 minutes who could make the pick up tomorrow and delivery in 2 days.

7 Star Auto will give you a low quote to get your business, but then they will have a very hard time finding a driver who will move the car for that low rate, so you are stuck waiting for a driver to get desperate and do the move at the low rate they provided to you.

Please save yourself the headache and stay far away from 7 Auto Transport!
