Why Body Shops Choose NexGen Auto Transport

Experience with Damaged and Non-Running Vehicles

Our carriers are equipped to handle vehicles that can't be driven onto a trailer under their own power. We use winch-capable equipment and experienced drivers who know how to load damaged vehicles without causing further harm.

Thorough Condition Documentation

With collision-damaged vehicles, knowing exactly what damage existed before transport matters enormously, both for insurance purposes and for protecting your shop from liability. We document condition carefully at pickup and delivery.

Enclosed Transport for High-Value and Restoration Work

Custom builds, restorations, and high-value vehicles deserve more than an open carrier. We offer enclosed transport with experienced handling for vehicles where the stakes are higher.

Coordination with Insurance and Tow Yards

We're familiar with the logistics of picking up from tow yards, salvage facilities, and insurance- directed locations, and can coordinate timing around the realities of claims processing.

Reliable Delivery Timelines

Your shop's schedule depends on knowing when vehicles will actually arrive. We give realistic windows and keep you updated.

Services for Auto Body Shops

Collision Vehicle Pickup

We pick up vehicles directly from tow yards, accident scenes (once cleared), or insurance- directed storage facilities and deliver them to your shop for repair.

Non-Running and Disabled Vehicle Transport

Vehicles that can't move under their own power are loaded using winch-equipped carriers, handled by drivers experienced with disabled vehicles.

Restoration Project Transport

Frame-off restorations, partially disassembled projects, and donor vehicles often need to travel significant distances. We handle these shipments with the patience and care they require.

Custom Build and Show Car Delivery

Once a custom build or restoration is complete, delivering it back to the owner — sometimes across the country — calls for enclosed transport and meticulous handling. We provide both.

Insurance Total Loss and Salvage Transport

We work with body shops handling total loss vehicles destined for salvage auctions or parts recovery, coordinating pickup from your facility to the next stop in the process.

How Body Shop Transport Works

For restoration and custom work, we stay in touch throughout the process and coordinate the final delivery once the build is complete.

Call (832) 886-1321. Describe the vehicle's condition in detail, including whether it's drivable.

We match your shipment with a carrier equipped for the vehicle's specific condition, whether that means a winch, enclosed trailer, or both.

Our driver documents existing damage thoroughly with photos and a Bill of Lading before loading.

The vehicle arrives, with condition documentation matching what was recorded at pickup.

Who We Work With

Salvage and Total Loss Processing

Shops that handle the body work assessment on total loss vehicles before they move on to salvage auctions or parts recovery.

Restoration Specialists

Shops working on classic car restorations that source donor vehicles, parts cars, and project vehicles from a wide geographic area.

Custom and Performance Body Shops

Shops building custom vehicles for clients across the country, where the final delivery needs to be as carefully handled as the build itself.

Collision Repair Centers

Shops handling insurance-directed repairs that need reliable pickup from tow yards and storage facilities, with documentation that supports the claims process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you pick up a vehicle that was just in an accident?

Yes, once the vehicle is cleared from the scene and at a tow yard or storage facility, we can arrange pickup from there to your shop.

Do you handle vehicles that can't be driven at all?

Yes. Our carriers use winch equipment to load non-running and severely damaged vehicles without causing further harm.

How do you document existing damage before transport?

We complete a detailed Bill of Lading with photos at pickup, which clearly establishes the vehicle's condition before it moves, protecting your shop and the vehicle owner.

Can you coordinate directly with an insurance company or tow yard?

Yes. We're experienced with the logistics of insurance-directed pickups and can coordinate timing around claims processing schedules.

Do you offer enclosed transport for custom builds and restorations?

Yes. Enclosed transport is strongly recommended for high-value custom builds, restorations, and any vehicle where presentation and protection matter most.

What if a restoration project is partially disassembled?

Let us know the details when you request a quote. We can typically still arrange transport, though additional care or securing may be needed depending on what's removed.

Is the vehicle insured during transport?

Yes. All carriers carry cargo insurance as required by the FMCSA, which is especially important for high-value or already-damaged vehicles.

Can you deliver a finished build directly to the customer?

Yes. We handle final delivery to the owner, including long-distance and cross-country deliveries for custom and restoration work.

How quickly can you arrange pickup?

Standard scheduling is one to two weeks out. Expedited service is available within 24 to 48 hours when needed.

Is NexGen licensed and insured?

Yes. We are FMCSA licensed (MC# 1482694, USDOT# 3969190), bonded, insured, and BBB Accredited with an A+ rating.
