I had been trying to set up transport with Fast Auto Movers for 2 weeks. Finally, Peter Odiot from Fast Auto Movers called me on a Saturday afternoon & said to send my car to FL it would cost $625. $150 had to be sent to him immediately and a mover would be at my house in 2 hours to pick up my car. He told me to pay the driver $475 upon his arrival. He took a credit card number over the phone & immediately charged the $150. The carrier didn't show up that day at all. I tried to call Peter, but he didn't answered his phone the rest of the day. I finally reached him Sunday afternoon. He "acted" surprised that no one picked up the car. He said he'd call the carrier & call me right back to let me know either way what was going on. Once again, I didn't hear back from him the rest of the day. I tried to call his cell throughout the day & evening (which is advertised to be the 24/7 cell for the company), but my calls went straight to voice mail, which was full and wouldn't take my messages. Monday morning I called the office and was told they couldn't do anything and would have to contact Peter. Finally, Monday afternoon Peter decided to answer his phone. I told him I had missed the window to have my car sent to Florida because the carrier never showed up and I wanted a refund. He said OK. Later that afternoon the carrier called me. He said that he spoke to Peter Saturday Morning & told him the carrier wouldn't be coming. Still, Peter called me Saturday afternoon & lied to me about the carrier coming just to take my money. It's been over a week now & no one will return my calls and I am still out $150. I am in the process now of filing a police report. On a side note, the office staff was very rude and unresponsive. They're well versed in giving you the run around. DO NOT USE THIS CARRIER. THEY ARE THIEVES.
