    Hello, all!

    I have a new (to me) Ferrari on the way, and it’s looking more and more like I will need to have it shipped. Kinda boo, because I’d much rather pick it up, meet up with zygomatic :) and enjoy the ride home, but cest la vie.

    Anyone have any good recs for a solid and reasonable auto transport service? Car will be going from Bethesda to the Hampton Roads area.

    Thanks!

    Blairs towing does most of the exotic dealerships in the D.C. Area and will go anywhere and have an enclosed truck. Roadrunner towing does all of Ferrari of washingtons towing and also have an enclosed truck.

    I would contact Matt Brown at White Horse Auto Concierge http://www.whitehorseautoconcierge.com/index.html

    He is a one man operation and a former Ferrari owner. I used him to transport my 360 from Sterling to Rockville. He was a lot less expensive, more flexible, and responsive vs. Blair’s or Roadrunner. He is likely also better for slightly longer distances like yours.

    I have not spoken with him in a few years, but Matt Brown used to do just what you are looking for. He's in Alexandria and a Ferrari owner who understands what it takes to transport these cars correctly. Check out his website: www.whitehorseautoconcierge.com.

    I posted this at the same time as the post just above it came in. That makes two votes for Matt Brown!

    I like Bruce at Applewood. Think they're based out of Morgantown or Charles Town.

    575! One of my all time favs!

    By the way, Matt at Whitehorse came back with a great quote, so thanks for the recommendation, folks!

    Thanks! Once shipped, she's going to spend her first night in Hampton Roads at Abacus Racing for H20 temp sensor replacement and fresh fluids. The agony of the wait... :)

    From my shop (Eurotech Classics) I've used Whitehorse and Applewood both are great to deal with.

    Hi, congrats, the weather is still blah, don't forget to paint correct, protective film, and clear coat if not already done. Takes max of a week to knock out. I swear by it on my 458

    Got left in the lurch by Applewood. Used Matt at White Horse Auto Concierge to ship across WV. No problems, good service, good rates.

    Where are you in HR? I just bought a 2010 California and would like to meet up with other owners in the area. I live in Virginia Beach
