An audit score summarizes evidence. Customer ratings describe reviews. They use different scales and are not interchangeable.

Public customer ratings below are out of 5; BBB ratings use the source’s own scale. “Not established” means the available record does not establish that fact. Read the methodology.

What the audited evidence says
Karma Auto Transport
Audit score: 86/100 · Top Recommended · Audited April 6, 2026
The October 10, 2026 SAFER snapshot identifies an active property broker, excluding household goods. Broker registration does not establish the safety or insurance of an assigned carrier. Positive reviews describe helpful coordination, communication and successful vehicle delivery. Trustpilot and Yelp are favorable overall, but the BBB customer rating rests on only three reviews and Transport Reviews displays only one. The negative Yelp export includes allegations of missed pickup, carrier-payment confusion and unloading damage. These are customer accounts, not independently established findings or a measured claim rate. Source evidence reviewed October 12, 2026; the existing 86/100 score is historical and was not recalculated from this upload.

Authority and company record
USDOT 2882553 · MC-967442. The October 10, 2026 SAFER snapshot identifies an active property broker, excluding household goods. Broker registration does not establish the safety or insurance of an assigned carrier. KARMA AUTO TRANSPORT INC is listed in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. BBB reports a July 17, 2013 business start and accreditation since November 4, 2024; its sole-proprietorship classification differs from the INC legal name in SAFER. Confirm the contracting legal entity rather than treating directory classifications as incorporation evidence. A broker’s zero-inspection record is not evidence of a carrier’s safety performance.
Reviews and customer experience
Google 4.8/5 from 180 reviews (Owner-provided snapshot, October 12, 2026; not independently verified.). Trustpilot 4.9/5 from 138 reviews. Yelp 4.6/5 from 89 reviews. Transport Reviews 5/5 with 1 reviews displayed on the supplied profile; its star rating uses the last two years. BBB business grade A+; customer reviews 5/5 from 3 reviews; accredited. The negative Yelp export includes allegations of missed pickup, carrier-payment confusion and unloading damage. These are customer accounts, not independently established findings or a measured claim rate. A company response attributes a pickup disruption to a carrier truck’s mechanical problem and describes seeking another carrier. That explains the company’s position but does not independently establish that the customer’s dispute was resolved. Positive reviews describe helpful coordination, communication and successful vehicle delivery. Trustpilot and Yelp are favorable overall, but the BBB customer rating rests on only three reviews and Transport Reviews displays only one. The negative Yelp export includes allegations of missed pickup, carrier-payment confusion and unloading damage. These are customer accounts, not independently established findings or a measured claim rate. A company response attributes a pickup disruption to a carrier truck’s mechanical problem and describes seeking another carrier. That explains the company’s position but does not independently establish that the customer’s dispute was resolved. These are published accounts, not independently verified shipments. Similar stories across platforms may describe the same transaction.
Pricing and service fit
Ask for the broker fee, carrier payment amount, payment recipient and cancellation conditions separately. The carrier-payment and damage accounts make written payment instructions and a clear claims contact particularly important. The supplied pages do not establish measured performance on every route or transport type. Confirm the actual carrier, pickup window, vehicle condition requirements and any terminal or ocean segment. Individual review prices are historical examples, not current lane quotes.
Transparency and brand signals

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.
