Great experience! It was very personalized and attentive. I had an emergency move and they managed to pick up the car just the next day after booking.
Really nice company, the whole process was fast and easy peasy.
Professional service and reasonable price considering they had to winch my car on the trailer.

Raleigh is one corner of the Triangle, with Durham and Chapel Hill at the other two, and a car leaving any of the three goes out under the same North Carolina paperwork. When the car was bought here by someone living in another state, that paperwork puts the seller in front of a notary before the title can move.
North Carolina titles change hands only after the seller signs them in front of a notary. State law writes the notary into the transfer itself, which is why NCDMV’s own list of what a properly assigned title has to carry puts the seller’s signature and the notarization together. A signature alone won’t do.
With a private seller in Raleigh and you in another state, that visit to the notary is the seller’s to make, so it helps to agree on it when you agree on the price. The plates are a separate matter. North Carolina has the seller take them off when the car is sold, which means the car is collected without plates and gets its first ones from the state where you register it.
One percent of every booking goes to Clean Air Task Force, a nonprofit working on policy and technology to clean up transport and energy emissions.
