How to use this comparison

Choose based on your shipment—not a headline score alone

The score is a useful starting point, but price certainty, vehicle type, pickup urgency, and the quality of the assigned carrier matter too. We compare audited signals instead of selling rank positions, then link to the underlying broker reports so you can verify the evidence before you request quotes.

What the audited evidence says

A1 Auto Movers

5/100 · Do Not Recommend · Audited August 29, 2026

Full audit →

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.

Authority and company record

A1 AUTO MOVERS INC does not have confirmed active FMCSA authority in this audit under MC-1257769 / USDOT 3650038. Its legal name, authority record, and public-facing identity matches the public-facing identity reviewed; at least one contact channel was not confirmed as working. The audit lists 5 years in business and marks the public profile as partial.

Reviews and customer experience

The audit records Not found in this audit pass/5 on Google, a page with zero reviews/5 on TransportReviews, 3.1/5 on Trustpilot from 63 reviews, 1.4/5 on Yelp from 78 reviews.

Customer feedback in this audit is rated Weak for communication, Weak for price honesty, Weak for pickup, Weak for delivery, and Weak for problem handling.

Pricing and service fit

The audit classifies A1 Auto Movers as a budget option with high price-change risk. Its pricing assessment is 1/15, including 0/5 for price consistency and 0/5 for bait-and-switch risk. None found that outweigh the documented fraud pattern The audit identifies Standard Open as the primary fit for A1 Auto Movers. Route and service evidence totals 2/10 (1/4 lane strength, 1/3 service fit, and 0/3 route relevance). Individual transport-type assessments are Open Transport: Mixed.

Transparency and brand signals

Brand-transparency evidence totals 1/10, based on website quality (1/3), review responses (0/2), service transparency (0/2), reputation-management maturity (0/1), and overall trust feel (0/2).

Positive signals

  • Some positive named-rep reviews exist (a 'Nikky/Nicky' praised in multiple reviews)
  • None found that outweigh the documented fraud pattern

What to verify

  • Multiple independent, corroborating reports of a holding-deposit scam (deposit taken, driver cancels, no refund) — including a specific named complaint pattern on TransportReviews
  • A third-party review site explicitly flags likely fake five-star reviews on this company's Yelp listing — suspected review manipulation

50/100 · Limited Confidence · Audited April 6, 2026

Full audit →

All State to State Auto Transport scores 88/100 — Top Recommended. BISMILLAH TRANSPORT LLC holds active FMCSA broker authority under MC-653413 / USDOT 2242737, has an A+ accredited BBB profile, and shows strong ratings on Google, Trustpilot, and TransportReviews. The positive evidence is broad, but it is not uniform: Yelp is substantially lower at 2.9★, and the audit identified at least one detailed no-show and poor-follow-up complaint. We recommend this broker for standard open transport, provided the customer confirms the pickup window, cancellation terms, carrier assignment, and total price in writing before paying.

Authority and company record

All State to State Auto Transport operates under the legal entity BISMILLAH TRANSPORT LLC. The August 2026 audit matched the public brand to MC-653413 / USDOT 2242737 and confirmed active FMCSA broker authority. Its website, phone numbers, and support email tested as working, and the company history was recorded at approximately 18 years. The identity and operating record are consistent, although the public profile was graded Partial rather than fully complete. Consumers should still verify current authority and insurance information directly through FMCSA before dispatch because federal status can change after an audit date.

Reviews and customer experience

The review record is strong overall but should be read platform by platform. Google was recorded at 4.8★ from 573 reviews, Trustpilot at 4.7★ from 434 reviews, and TransportReviews at 5.0★ from 67 reviews. BBB lists an A+ accredited profile with one complaint recorded in the audit and a Low complaint signal. Yelp is the outlier at 2.9★ from 7 reviews. That sample is too small to outweigh the much larger Google and Trustpilot totals by itself, but the gap is still relevant because it shows that not every customer experience matches the dominant positive pattern. Customers repeatedly praise responsive representatives, clear updates, and delivery coordination. Communication and price honesty were graded Strong; pickup and problem handling were Mixed; delivery and willingness to use the company again were Strong. The principal caution is a detailed account involving a missed pickup and weak follow-up. A targeted search of attributable public court and regulator records did not identify a lawsuit or government enforcement action directly tied to BISMILLAH TRANSPORT LLC or All State to State Auto Transport as of August 29, 2026. That search result is not a guarantee that no private claim or local case exists.

Pricing and service fit

The audit classifies All State to State Auto Transport as a budget option with Low price-change risk. Pricing earned 13/15, including 4/5 for price consistency and 4/5 for bait-and-switch risk protection. Multiple reviews reportedly describe the company as standing by the quoted price and avoiding hidden fees. Customers should nevertheless require a written breakdown of the broker fee, carrier payment, cancellation rules, and any conditions that permit a price adjustment; a quote is not the same as a guaranteed carrier acceptance price unless the contract says so. The company is best suited to standard open transport. The audit graded open transport, enclosed transport, and urgent pickup as Strong; inoperable-vehicle transport as Mixed; and luxury or classic-vehicle transport as Weak. Route and service evidence totaled 7/10. For high-value, modified, or collectible vehicles, customers should compare enclosed-carrier insurance limits and handling procedures rather than relying on the overall broker score alone.

Transparency and brand signals

The company has a functioning website and established contact infrastructure, but its brand-transparency score was 9/10 rather than perfect. The strongest trust signals are the matched FMCSA identity, long operating history, accredited BBB profile, and high-volume reviews. The remaining gaps are the Partial profile grade, the small but sharply negative Yelp sample, and limited public detail about how unusual claims or missed pickups are escalated. The safest booking approach is to preserve the quote, dispatch sheet, carrier details, and all text or email communications.

Positive signals

  • Active FMCSA broker authority under MC-653413 / USDOT 2242737
  • 4.8★ Google rating across 573 reviews
  • BBB A+ accredited profile with a low complaint signal

What to verify

  • Yelp rating is 2.9★, although the sample is only 7 reviews
  • At least one detailed no-show and poor-follow-up complaint was identified
  • Public-profile completeness was graded Partial in the August 2026 audit

Before you book

Get the terms in writing

Ask each broker for the total price, deposit and cancellation terms, pickup window, carrier information when assigned, cargo coverage, and how price changes are handled. A strong audit profile does not replace reading the agreement for your specific shipment.
