What the audited evidence says
A1 Auto Movers
Audit score: 5/100 · Do Not Recommend · Audited August 29, 2026
This audit gives A1 Auto Movers a score of 5/100 — Do Not Recommend. We do not currently recommend this broker based on the reviewed authority, identity, reputation, customer-experience, pricing, route, and brand evidence. The total combines 9/20 legitimacy, 4/25 reputation, 0/20 customer experience, 1/15 pricing, 2/10 route and service, and 1/10 brand evidence, with -20 in audit penalties applied. Clearest case in this batch: FMCSA authority is 'Not Authorized', and — more seriously — BBB, TransportReviews, and RealTransportReviews independently corroborate a repeated deposit-scam pattern (take a holding deposit, cancel the assigned driver, refuse to refund). A third-party reviewer also explicitly calls out likely fake five-star reviews on this company's Yelp page. This is not a thin-evidence case like A Ok Auto Transport — it's a documented-harm case, scored and penalized accordingly.
