You need to completely prepare your vehicle for shipping prior to its being shipped. So as to expedite this activity, first have your car professionally washed prior to its transportation, thus allowing for scratches and dents to be easily detected when it arrives. Make sure that the interior of the car is well cleaned out and that all personal possessions are removed from the front or back seats. In the event that your car contains an electronic alarm system, this must be disabled before transporting it.
