Dealership Car Auto Transport That Runs on Your Schedule, Not Ours
At BAH Logistics, we handle dealership car auto transport exclusively for franchise dealers, independent lots, and multi-location dealer groups. Every carrier in our network is vetted for dealership operations. Every shipment is documented with condition reports at pickup and delivery. Every account comes with a dedicated manager who knows your lanes, your volume, and your auction pickup requirements.
We coordinate directly with Manheim, ADESA, and independent auction locations to align pickups with your buyer release windows. We offer 48-hour pickup availability, real-time GPS tracking on every active shipment, and fleet pricing that reflects what dealers moving consistent volume actually deserve to pay.
No broker markups. No fuel surcharges at delivery. No call center starts from scratch every time you call.
If your current transport setup is costing you inventory days, margin, or time your team should not be spending on logistics, request a fleet quote and see what a dealer-focused account looks like in practice.

Franchise & New Car Dealerships: You are managing high inventory volume, strict OEM turn-rate requirements, and multiple simultaneous transport lanes. We assign you a dedicated account manager who knows your routes, your preferred carrier options, and your scheduling windows. You get fleet pricing, not spot rates.
Independent Used Car Dealers: Every dollar in your operation has a job to do. You need auction pickups that happen on time, per-unit rates that do not erode your margin, and a carrier that shows up when they say they will. No broker middlemen. No surprise fees at delivery. You get quoted, scheduled, and delivered with a single point of contact from start to finish.
Buy-Here-Pay-Here Operations: BHPH margins are tight and your sourcing radius is often wider than what regional carriers want to touch. We run high-frequency routes from the auctions you actually buy at, with open carrier options priced for volume. The cost per unit stays predictable, so your acquisition math stays clean.
Multi-Location Dealer Groups: Balancing inventory across locations is a logistics problem your transport carrier should help you solve, not add to. We run recurring lot-to-lot transfer routes, handle dealer trades between your rooftops, and give your operations team a single account for every move across your entire group. No managing five different vendors for five different lanes

We schedule pickup within 48 hours on all standard routes. Your account manager sends status updates at pickup, in transit, and at delivery confirmation. You are never left waiting for shipment updates.
Fleet Pricing. No Hidden Fees.
The rate you are quoted is the rate you pay. No fuel surcharges added at delivery, no broker markups on top of carrier costs. Dealers running consistent volume qualify for locked fleet pricing that keeps your cost-per-unit predictable every month.Auction-Ready Carrier Network
Our carriers are vetted specifically for dealership operations and understand the security demands of active auction lots and licensed dealer premises. We coordinate directly with Manheim and ADESA gate staff, managing release documentation so you do not have to.Precise, On-Time Lot Delivery
We build transport schedules around your auction release windows and dealer trade timelines, not around what is convenient for the driver. Every vehicle arrives within the delivery window we committed to. Days on lot start when the vehicle reaches your lot, not when we get around to it.Licensed, Bonded & Insured Authority
We operate with full federal carrier authority, active cargo insurance, and bonded status. Every shipment is covered from the moment your vehicle is loaded to the moment your team signs off at delivery. You are not dealing with a broker who outsources liability.Dedicated Dealer Account Manager
You get one person who owns your account. They know your lanes, your volume, your preferred pickup contacts, and your delivery requirements. You do not re-explain your operation every time you book a load. One contact, full accountability, every order.How Our Dealership Car Transport Works
Request Your Fleet Quote
Tell us your pickup location, delivery destination, number of vehicles, and your timeline. We calculate a per-unit fleet rate with no hidden fees, no fuel surcharges, and no broker markup. Dealers with recurring volume lock in their rate at this stage so cost-per-unit stays predictable across every order.
Carrier Assignment & Auction Coordination
We do not assign just any driver. We match your load to a vetted carrier familiar with dealership pickups, auction gate procedures, and licensed lot access. If you are sourcing from Manheim or ADESA, we coordinate directly with auction staff to align the pickup window with your buyer release — so storage fees never accumulate on your account.
Vehicle Inspection & Documented Pickup
Before the vehicle is loaded, our carrier performs a full condition inspection. Every pre-existing chip, scratch, or damage point is recorded and photographed on a timestamped condition report. You receive a copy at pickup. This is your protection if anything changes in transit, and the foundation of every damage claim we have ever resolved without dispute.
GPS-Tracked Transit With Live Updates
Your vehicle moves on a scheduled route with real-time GPS tracking active from the moment it is loaded. Your account manager sends status updates at pickup confirmation, during transit, and when the delivery window is confirmed. You are never left calling a general line to find out where your inventory is. If something changes on the route, you hear from us before you have to ask.
Lot-Ready Delivery & Final Sign-Off
At delivery, the carrier performs a final walk-around inspection against the original condition report. Your receiving team verifies the vehicle matches what was documented at pickup, then signs off on a clean, recorded handover. The vehicle goes directly to your lot, not a holding area, not a third-party facility. Days on lot start the moment it arrives, which is exactly how it should work.
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car to a Dealership?
Dealership transport pricing depends on four variables: route distance, vehicle type, carrier option, and your monthly volume.
Route Distance
Short regional hauls under 500 miles typically run $250 to $450 per unit on open carrier. Mid-range routes between 500 and 1,500 miles fall in the $500 to $850 range. Cross-country moves run $900 to $1,400 per unit. Your actual rate depends on the specific origin and destination, not a market average.
Open vs. Enclosed Carrier
Open carrier is the standard for most dealership inventory and the most cost-effective option. Enclosed transport is the right call for high-value or luxury CPO units and typically runs 40 to 60 percent above open carrier rates for the same route.
Your Monthly Volume
Dealers moving five units a month pay spot rates. Dealers with consistent volume across recurring lanes qualify for fleet pricing that locks in a per-unit rate and removes the spot market from your acquisition math entirely. Dealer groups moving 20 or more units a month typically see per-unit savings of 15 to 25 percent compared to booking individual loads.
