Car shipping in the Motor City is our home turf. From our office on Library Street downtown, First Class Auto Transport coordinates door-to-door auto transport across Metro Detroit — Dearborn, Warren, Troy, Southfield, Royal Oak, Livonia, and out to Ann Arbor — with carriers running I-75, I-94, and I-96 in every direction.
No metro moves more vehicles than Detroit. Manufacturer traffic, dealer trades, and some of the largest auto auctions in the country keep carrier volume enormous here year-round, which translates directly into competitive rates and fast pickup windows — often 1–3 days from booking.
The Detroit-to-Florida snowbird lane is one of the busiest in America: every fall we ship Michigan vehicles south to Naples, Fort Myers, Sarasota, and the east coast of Florida, and back each spring. And when it's a Woodward-worthy classic, our enclosed carriers move it the way Detroit iron deserves.
Our Detroit car shipping service covers Dearborn, Warren, Troy, Southfield, Ann Arbor, Royal Oak, Livonia, and all of Metro Detroit — with door-to-door pickup and delivery throughout the area.
Open, enclosed, and expedited auto transport — choose the Detroit car shipping service that fits your vehicle and budget.
