Montway just admitted they lost my car in transit

Sorry to hear.. Always airtag your cars during transit. mail a tag to your dealer or seller before transport picks it up. Montway is also garbage as they are a budget broker putting your car into anyone offering a spot on a truck. I would never use them personally. Plenty of other good brokers out there or owner operators.

 

yeah, this is probably the Central Dispatch scam. Sorry. There are good youtube videos on it, including one from Vinwiki.

 

Good luck. I work in insurance, specifically trucking and freight brokerage. Shoot me a PM if i can help

 

I will only use a company with their own trucks.

You have no idea who is hauling your car using a broker!

 

Just received my car having been transported by Reliable transport-very satisfied. Had a Citroen SM delivered via Montway last year and less than satisfied

I've always used Plycar. They send you a link that lets you track the car in real time anytime you want.

 

Once when I had my car transported, I missed my flight. So I asked the driver if I could sit in the cab with him. He said no, he didn't have enough room, but why don't I just sit in my car.

He got stopped for speeding, with both got tickets!

(apologies to Steven Wright)

 

This is so sad!!

 

Sorry for your loss

 

I didn't think it could get worse from the first post, but apparently did. It would have been better the car never showed up as crazy that would have sounded yesterday. There was someone here on Fchat in FL selling their SL600 they bought on BaT and said it had a lot more problems than advertised and said BaT is a place to sell and not buy...seems to be the case. Hopefully things get better from here for you...

 

This story is too good to be true.

 

Wow, the whole experience sucks. As far as the damage to your neighbor's property, you might try calling a professional cleaning company. They will have better methods and equipment than what you can do on your own.

 

I was thinking Montway should be paying for the cleanup - possibly by the neighbor's (or the OP's) homeowner's insurance going after them.

 

That company needs to clean up, or neighbor should sue them. Not your fault.

 

A carrier is never going to pay for that.

The amount of headache for that kind of money isn't worth it honestly

 

My single anecdotal experience has been hydraulic fluid spilled on sun-exposed outside stonework slowly disappeared on its own leaving no long term evidence.

 

Agreed and almost nothing you can do to get it up. Or at least I haven't found anything that gets it out. The more abrasive you are to try to get it out the more damage you do to the concrete... And well that never goes away

 

Try this stuff:

It goes on like a paste and slowly pulls oils out of concrete, then you just brush it off when it's dry. Not an acid or anything abrasive. Sort of like how you use baking soda to pull a grease stain from a granite countertop.

Thanks for posting that. I have a driveway of pavers and occasionally have to remove an oil spot. I've used this liquid spray, but it does require several applications of elbow work with a stiff brush. I'll give that a try next time.

However, I think Tom would need several 55 gallon drums of that stuff to clean that spill!

 

You are a good man and a good neighbor.

Sorry you're having to deal with all this.

 

"Pull it out" will remove the stains, i guarantee it. It's incredible stuff. I've used it on concrete and pavers for years. Truly incredible stuff. Pour on, let it harden, sweep away. repeat if necessary. Image Unavailable, Please Login
