Quick fast and easy delivery. Service was great! Drivers drove from New York to Missouri picked the car up on Friday Dropped it off in Federal Way Washington Monday. I will recommend and use them in the future.
Very good company. Works hard to help you with your car being transported and accommodating your needs. I would recommend and use them again if needed. Great job.
Archie was very Experienced and informative. He was very prompt and even got the car delivered a day ahead of schedule. I would highly recommend.
Longer routes generally cost more than shorter western runs. Across the Bremerton metro, Virginia Beach is a leading destination, so carrier demand and route availability can shape quotes on that cross-country lane.
Winter snow and ice can close Snoqualmie Pass on I-90 and Stevens Pass, delaying shipments between western and eastern Washington and affecting carrier routing.
Larger vehicles take up more room on a trailer. In Silverdale, open-transport quotes typically run higher for SUVs and crossovers than for sedans.
Carriers need safe room to load. If a truck cannot reach an address in the Waterfront District or Old Town Center District, a nearby loading point may be needed and can affect the quote.
Open transport is exposed to weather and road debris. Enclosed transport offers more protection for high-value cars and typically costs more.
Silverdale is unincorporated, so provide the exact street address rather than relying on a city boundary or district name.
For a delivery from California, Florida, or Texas, keep your phone available and confirm who will receive the vehicle before delivery.
If your schedule allows, offer a flexible pickup window so the carrier can fit your shipment into its route.
Take clear photos and note existing marks before loading, then check the vehicle again when it arrives.
Tell SAKAEM about alarms, special starting steps, or any issues with the car before pickup, and make sure the key is available.

If Silverdale is your new home, take care of Washington licensing and registration early. These rules explain what to do before you put your car on the road.
You have 30 days after moving to Washington to get a Washington driver license and register your car [WA DOL].
Get your Washington driver license first, then take your current title to a vehicle licensing office. Write down your odometer mileage; if a bank holds your title, ask the office how to have it sent [WA DOL].

Washington ended its emissions check program on January 1, 2020, so you do not need an emissions test to register or renew [WA Ecology].
Side and rear window film must let in at least 24% of light and reflect no more than 35%. The windshield may have clear UV film and a tint strip along the top 6 inches [RCW 46.37.430].

New to auto transport? Here's how to ship a car, step by step.
For Silverdale, typical outbound open-transport quotes for a running vehicle are $1,275–$1,700, and typical inbound quotes are $1,250–$1,725. These are the middle half of customer quotes on record, not a fixed price for every car. Your actual quote depends on the route, vehicle, timing, pickup access, and transport type.
Across the Bremerton metro, recorded outbound lanes to Los Angeles typically take 1–4 days on the road, Phoenix 1–5 days, and Virginia Beach 4–10 days. Transit starts after pickup, and estimates aren't guarantees. Your pickup date is separate from road time, so plan the handoff and arrival around the lane.
SAKAEM arranges carriers that are FMCSA-licensed and insured. Carriers carry at least $1,000,000 in liability coverage and $100,000 in cargo insurance. Ask how to reach the carrier and what to do if you see damage at delivery, then note any concerns on the inspection paperwork before signing.
You may leave up to 100 lbs of personal items in the trunk or below the window line. Keep valuables, important documents, and loose items out of the car, and confirm the carrier’s loading instructions before pickup. The vehicle should still be easy to inspect and secure.
SAKAEM can arrange transport for a non-running car if it rolls, brakes, and steers, and a key is available. Tell us its condition before booking so the carrier can plan the loading. If any of those basics are missing, describe that clearly before accepting a quote.
You can pay by card, or pay the carrier by cash or certified check; Zelle and Venmo are also accepted. Confirm the payment method and when it is due with your coordinator before pickup, so you have the right option ready for the handoff.
A designated adult must be present at both pickup and delivery to inspect the car and sign the Bill of Lading. If you cannot attend, arrange for someone you trust to meet the driver, review the vehicle condition, and complete the paperwork at each handoff.
