Founded in 2008 as a car shipping quote website Automoves focused on finding the most competitive rates to its customers among Canadian car haulers.
With digital solutions disrupting many industries including transport, in 2012 Automoves ventured into becoming a car transport broker as a value added service to our carriers, streamlining the booking process and dispatching car haulers. Our business grew substantially in the following 2 years and we established regular transport lanes between West coast provinces and the east.
With increased shipping demand and customers expecting consistent delivery timelines Automoves experienced a dilemma most transport brokers do – lack of real time control over our network of carriers and consistency in service level.
We were convinced that with full control over our operations, dedicated management and implementing latest technologies – vehicles could be shipped on short notice and shipped faster.
In 2014 Automoves expanded its office and opened its own shipping terminal adding several car haulers to its fleet. Since then we have expanded our operations to Alberta and BC with dedicated warehouses in Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary. With help of our partners we offer 17 dedicated terminal locations from BC to Newfoundland and Yukon.

The busiest times for moving companies are typically during the summer months, May-September.
If you are planning a move during that time you should make arrangements early.
Friday and Saturdays are big moving days so if you have flexibility in your schedule it can
be easier to get a date during the week rather than a weekend.
On the day of the move you need to be present. There is paperwork to sign and you need to
show the movers exactly what is being moved. After the movers have loaded the truck you will
be ask to do a walk through. That is the time to point out anything that may have been missed
once the truck drives away they are done.
At the unload they will place boxes in rooms based on the rooms written on the boxes
(ie., bedroom, kitchen, garage). Furniture will be placed in the location you specify.
It is helpful if you already have a basic idea where you want furniture placed.
If the movers have to keep rearranging and switching furniture around it will take longer
and you are paying hourly.
