Auto Transport for Auto Repair Shops – Get Vehiclesto and from the Shop Without the Hassle

Not every repair job comes from a customer who can drive their car to your shop. Sometimes a vehicle needs to come from out of state for specialized work, sometimes a customer relocates mid-repair, and sometimes you’re sourcing a vehicle on behalf of a customer who needs it brought to your facility before work can even begin. NexGen Auto Transport works with independent repair shops, specialty mechanics, and multi-bay service centers to move vehicles reliably so your shop’s schedule isn’t held hostage by logistics you don’t control. We understand that a vehicle sitting in transit limbo means a bay you can’t fill and a customer wondering where their car is. That’s why we prioritize clear timelines and consistent communication for every shop account we work with. We’re FMCSA licensed (MC# 1482694, USDOT# 3969190), bonded, insured, and BBB Accredited with an A+ rating, so you can confidently tell your customers their vehicle is in good hands.

Why Repair Shops Choose NexGen Auto Transport

Predictable Scheduling for Your Bays

Knowing when a vehicle will actually arrive lets you plan your bay schedule and labor accordingly, instead of guessing or padding timelines to cover uncertainty.

Specialized Vehicle Handling

Many repair shops work on classics, performance vehicles, or anything with mechanical issues that make driving risky. We offer both open and enclosed transport, along with winch-capable carriers for non-running vehicles.

Customer-Facing Communication You Can Pass Along

When your customer asks where their car is, you'll have real answers. We provide clear pickup and delivery windows you can relay directly.

Nationwide Reach for Specialty Work

If your shop has a reputation for specific repairs — restoration work, transmission rebuilds, body integration — customers will ship vehicles to you from well outside your local area. We make that practical for them.

Documented Condition at Every Step

Every shipment includes a Bill of Lading at pickup and delivery, which protects both your shop and your customer if there's ever a question about pre-existing condition versus transit damage.

Services for Auto Repair Shops

Customer Vehicle Pickup for Specialized Repairs

If customers ship vehicles to you from outside your local area for specialized work, we handle the pickup and delivery directly to your shop.

Non-Running Vehicle Transport

Vehicles that can't be safely driven still need to get to your shop. Our carriers are equipped with winches to load non-running vehicles without further damage.

Post-Repair Delivery

Once a repair is complete, we deliver the vehicle back to the customer, especially valuable for customers who relocated mid-repair or who shipped the vehicle to you from a distance.

Parts Vehicle and Donor Car Transport

Need a donor vehicle or parts car brought in for a restoration or specialty job? We handle that transport just like any other vehicle shipment.

Open and Enclosed Transport Options

Standard repairs ship via open transport. For high-value, classic, or show vehicles in for specialty work, enclosed transport keeps the vehicle fully protected.

If the vehicle needs to go back to the customer after repairs, we handle that leg too — just let us know when the job is wrapping up.

Independent Repair Shops

General repair shops that occasionally need to bring in a customer vehicle from outside the local area, or deliver a completed repair back to a relocated customer.

Specialty and Performance Shops

Shops known for specific work — transmissions, engine builds, performance tuning — that draw customers willing to ship vehicles from a distance for the right expertise.

Restoration and Classic Car Shops

Shops working on classic and collector vehicles where enclosed transport and careful handling are non-negotiable.

Body and Collision Shops Needing Overflow Support

If you partner with a body shop or need vehicle transport coordination as part of a collision repair workflow, we work alongside that process too.
