The Benefits of Working With a Family Owned & Operated Auto Transport Company

A vehicle is usually one of the top 3 most valuable assets a person will have. Because of this, the decision to ship a vehicle is not one to take lightly. There are tons of companies out there available to assist in shipping a vehicle but how do you know who to work with? When searching for the right company for you, I’d like you to consider the “little” guys too! Small, family-owned businesses have much to offer that their bigger competitors simply can’t provide.

Family-owned businesses, while making a significant increase in numbers and popularity, still only account for approximately 19% of small businesses in the United States. While that may seem insignificant in comparison to the number of big businesses out there, family-owned businesses typically have bigger concerns for the long-term health of their company and thus maintain a strong commitment to their quality, relationships, family name, and humanity in their business practices.

Working with small, family-owned businesses offers an unmatched opportunity for direct relationships with management. This is extremely beneficial when working with one of the top three most valuable assets a person has in their life. When shipping a vehicle there should never be gaps in conversation or problem solving. Because you’re often working directly with owners and management of family-owned businesses you are offered direct access to information straight from the horse's mouth.

At the end of the day family-owned businesses are people serving people. There’s no corporate mumbo jumbo or excuses to wade through. For a family-run business, it’s not just business it’s personal. This means that every interaction or decision is guided by a core set of values. We would want our vehicles to be taken care of in the best way possible so we ensure that we take care of your vehicle as if it were our own.

Working with family owned businesses offers the opportunity to establish and maintain long-term relationships with individuals in the company. Typically, family-run businesses do not see anywhere near the amount of employee turnaround as larger companies. This also means that leadership positions have longevity too. What does this mean for you as the consumer? It means you will be working with individuals who are intimately connected to and familiar with the company, industry, policy, and relationships involved. This is extremely beneficial when navigating conversations regarding discounts and adjustments, or prioritizing shipments in emergent situations.

We don’t just want to move your car, we want to help make your life easier during what can often be a very stressful time. We want to be there for you for your big move, for your kid’s first semester of college, and then later when you retire and snowbird down here in beautiful, sunny Florida. It’s personal to us because it’s personal to you. Having a personal and family style relationship is so important to us that we put it in our name. Don’t be just another number. Come join the G Fam and feel the difference with us!

Happy Shipping!
