Dealer Trade and Auction Pickup Program

One advisor moves every vehicle your dealership needs, from a same-day store trade to a full wholesale lane.

Your inventory doesn’t sit still, and your transport partner shouldn’t slow it down. ASAP Transport Solutions runs your dealer program through a single point of contact who already knows your lanes and how you work. That one advisor handles four kinds of moves.

Dealer Trades

Moving inventory store-to-store when you swap with another dealership

Inventory Relocation

Repositioning units from a slow lot to a market where they’ll sell

Auction Pickup

Pulling vehicles you bought at auction and getting them to your lot

Wholesale

Running repeat lanes and pipeline moves for units you buy and sell in bulk

The Problems This Program Solves

Dealership transport breaks down in the same few places, every time.

  • A trade stalls because nobody at either store owns the pickup.

  • An auction win sits on the block while you wait on a random carrier.

  • A different rep answers the phone every time you call for an update.

  • A slow-moving unit costs you the sale before it reaches the new lot.

  • A misclassified vehicle ships open when it needed enclosed protection.

Your advisor owns every one of these from the first call:

  • Tracks the trade until it closes

  • Confirms the auction release

  • Moves the wholesale unit on schedule

Why Choose ASAP Transport Solutions for Dealer Trades and Auction Pickups

Most transport companies hand your trade to whichever rep picks up the phone. ASAP assigns your dealership one advisor who learns how you operate, then stays on every move you send, from a single trade to a full wholesale lane. Dealerships running high volume get the same advisor on lane ten as lane one, so nothing resets with every call.

Our Process

Our six-step process keeps every vehicle move organized from pickup coordination through final delivery.

  1. Share Vehicle Details

    Tell your advisor which vehicle needs to move and where it’s going.

  2. Confirm Pickup

    Your advisor coordinates with the person releasing the vehicle and confirms pickup details.

  3. Assign a Carrier

    Dispatch matches the move with a vetted carrier based on your lane and timeline.

  4. Inspect and Pick Up

    The carrier inspects the vehicle and completes pickup.

  5. Track the Move

    Your advisor monitors the shipment and alerts you to any changes.

  6. Deliver and Inspect

    The carrier delivers the vehicle and completes a final inspection with you or your team.

Best Practices

We use a few simple practices to protect your vehicles and keep each shipment accountable from pickup through delivery.

Vet every carrier

Every carrier we hire passes a background check, and we stop working with carriers after three strikes.

Match transport type to the vehicle

High-value units move enclosed, while everyday inventory typically moves open to keep costs lower.

Support damage claims

If a vehicle is damaged in transit, your advisor files the claim against the carrier’s insurance and guides you through the process.

Key Things to Know

A few details about how we broker, bill, and support your shipment can help you know what to expect before the vehicle moves.

We use a vetted carrier network

Because we broker transport instead of operating our own trucks, we can match each move with a carrier based on your lane and timeline.

You are not charged upfront

Your card is not charged until the vehicle loads onto the trailer.

Cancellation fees only apply after assignment

A cancellation fee applies only if we have already assigned a driver to your load.

You keep one point of contact

If a shipment runs long or something changes, you call your advisor instead of a dispatch queue.

Right from the beginning when I spoke with Ethan, he set up a plan for my transport from Texas to New York. I requested an enclosed trailer for my 1967 Camaro. We set up a date when I was available. I was given a two-day window, and it was delivered on time in perfect condition. The driver, Dmitriy was professional and personable. Very happy with the process at ASAP TRANSPORT

From start to end, working with ASAP Transport was easy. Ethan took care of all the arrangements for picking up the car at Gateway Classic Cars in O'Fallon, Illinois and having it shipped to Ventura, CA. The car actually arrived a bit early. The driver was very professional and nice. He notified me hours in advance of the drop off time, and accommodated my work schedule. The car arrived safe and sound!

The Drivers were very nice to deal with. They gave me a 2 hour window for delivery, a full day ahead, and they arrived right in the middle of the, even though they had to make an out of order delivery. I would use this for sure again! AND the price was the best of the 4 companies I contacted.

Nathaniel was great to work with. He reached out quickly after the auction ended and was able to pick up my vehicle the very next day even from a very remote location in South Dakota. I would recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle every type of dealer move under one relationship?

Yes. Your advisor coordinates every move type in your program, so you’re not managing separate vendors for each one.

What if a vehicle can’t drive onto the trailer?

We move inoperable vehicles using carriers equipped to load them safely.

Can I request enclosed transport for higher-value units?

Yes. Tell your advisor which units need enclosed transport and which can move open.

When does my dealership get charged?

Your card stays on file but untouched until the vehicle loads onto the trailer.

What happens if a vehicle gets damaged during a move?

Your advisor files the claim against the carrier’s insurance and manages the process for you.

Get Your Dealership One Advisor for Every Move

A quote costs nothing and takes one call to start. Tell your advisor what’s moving and where it’s going, then get pricing before you commit to anything. You’ll work with the same advisor from pickup to delivery, not a rotating queue of reps.
