From young professionals relocating to pursue their careers, to families embarking on extended vacations, it’s our mission to make every customer’s move easier, safer, and more enjoyable. This is the story of how Jalen Johnson discovered Montway and trusted us to help with his cross-country adventure.
“I wanted to venture out and explore a new city”
Jalen recently moved over 2,200 miles across the country, leaving his familiar Chicago home behind for a new adventure. His destination, the Bay Area of California, offered a vibrant new environment. As a content creator specializing in men’s hair care, skin care, and fashion, the Bay Area also presented professional opportunities abound.
“Chicago will always be home, but I wanted to venture out and explore a new city. This led me to California’s Bay Area, and it also happens to be a great place for my work in content creation.”
With his 2016 Kia Soul needing to make the long journey as well, Jalen faced a common dilemma: make the long drive himself or ship the vehicle to his destination.
The safer, simpler, more affordable option
At first, Jalen planned on driving to California himself. However, after thorough research and reading online reviews, he decided to ship his car and fly to California. It was clear that the cost to ship his car outweighed the costs and risks that came with a cross-country drive. Not only would he avoid thousands of miles of wear and tear, but he would also save on food, fuel, lodging, and potential repairs along the way.
“I thought about driving my car myself, assuming it was the safer option when it comes to making sure my car was okay through transit. However, I decided to ship it after finding reviews online that reassured me someone else could handle the job for me. That’s when I found Montway!”
Jalen chose open transport for his 2016 Kia Soul–the perfect balance of safety, efficiency, and value.
“I was in safe hands”
Trusting a vehicle to an auto transport service, especially for such a long distance, can be nerve wracking for a first-timer. However, from the moment his car was picked up, Jalen felt at ease. He emphasized how Montway’s communication truly stood out.
“When I gave my car over to my driver, I honestly felt like I was in good hands. He gave me an estimated delivery window, explained to me the process of how they operate things, and even provided me with an update when I inquired about my car’s status. This made me feel like I was in safe hands.”
Besides the clear communication and reassurance throughout the process, the convenience of the service especially stood out to Jalen. He was able to use Montway’s door-to-door shipping services, which meant his car was picked up from his Chicago address and delivered directly to his new home.
“My pick up and delivery process went smoothly. I had a great driver who was very communicative. He was also able to meet me at the location I requested, so the service was very convenient as well!”
“What surprised me is how quickly my car arrived”
Adding to the convenience of door-to-door pickup and delivery was Montway’s quick service. Despite traveling over 2,000 miles, Jalen’s car arrived at his new California address even sooner than he anticipated.
“What surprised me is how quickly my car arrived. I feel like the turnaround was very reasonable, especially considering how far I was traveling!”
By discovering Montway through positive customer reviews, Jalen was able to confidently ship his car across the country. From the very beginning, he felt reassured by his driver in Chicago and remained at ease thanks to regular updates and clear communication. Concluding with an earlier-than-expected delivery, Jalen’s new chapter in California was off to a great start.
I couldn’t have chosen a better company for the job, to be honest, they made this process a breeze.
