    I posted this in the General Discussion forum and then it occurred to me that I might get a better response here since the company is based in Canada.

    I am looking to have my car shipped back from Montreal. The only company I can find who will go to Canada is TFX. What few reviews I can find on the internet are a little iffy. In a phone call with the company I was told they shipped about 50 cars for the FCA Annual Experience.

    If anyone here has used them could you relate your experience.

    Also if anyone has another recommendation I would appreciate it. I contacted InterCity, Reliable, Plycar and Horseless Carriage. None will go into Canada.

    I used them several years ago when I imported a car from the US. Top notch service

    I had a Portofino that I bought out of Toronto shipped to my dealer in Calgary this spring and received it without any issues.

    You wont have any problems with them. I have used them to get my car shipped to various National meets.

    I imported a car from the West Coast of the US to Ontario in 2019. As others have said, top notch, no problems with them. A great experience.

    Used TFX to transport two vehicles from California to BC. No complaints, professional service, good communication.

    I used them once a while ago and delivered the car to them in Toronto myself. I met the owner who is a REAL car guy. Showed me his personnal collection that include Ferraris.
    Top notch service.
    Tried to used them again for another purchase for a 400i convertable which I got scammed by the seller. They went there TWICE (in the USA) to load the car but it would't start. Finally the seller refused to sell the already fully paid car and refunded me with a $6000 loss.
    TFX never charged me a single dollar for their service to go there twice for nothing.

    Total professionnal service.

    Great service with TFX. They brought our E39 M5 up from Atlanta to Toronto. You get what you pay for, and in this case it's excellent.

    Dealt with them several times for quotes, but never used them. Always a positive interaction, significantly more expensive though.

    I know what I said above, and still stand by that, however a point to note is that TFX is extremely backed up and fairly slow to get moving as a result. I have also been using Safe Auto to move all my vehicles lately, including my 550 Maranello, M5, 360 Modena, etc., and they provide TFX-levels of service with much more urgency. They'd honestly be my go-to recommendation now.

    It’s been a while, but I’ve had 5-6 previous cars picked up by TFX as arranged by the new owners. In each case the driver appeared to be careful, and was very thorough about documenting the condition of the cars before they went onto the transport. And the recipients were happy on the other end

    I can’t speak to any current backlogs, but based on past experience, I’d have no hesitation in calling them up if needed
