Specialist Classic & Collector Car Transport

Some vehicles require more than standard transport. Precious Steel provides careful tilt-tray transport for classic, collector, prestige, performance, low and project vehicles across the Hibiscus Coast, North Shore and wider Auckland by arrangement.

Your vehicle is handled personally by Allan, from your first enquiry and quote through to collection and delivery.

Transport for Cars That Need Extra Care

Whether your vehicle has been restored over many years, recently purchased, sold to a new owner or needs to reach a specialist workshop, careful planning and handling matter.

Precious Steel can assist with transport for:

  • Classic and vintage cars

  • Collector vehicles

  • Prestige and performance cars

  • Low vehicles, subject to assessment

  • Project and non-running vehicles

  • Restored and customised cars

  • Vehicles purchased or sold privately

  • Cars travelling to workshops, storage, shows or a new owner

Every job is assessed according to the vehicle’s size, condition, clearance, access and loading requirements.

Owner-Operated From Quote to Delivery

When you contact Precious Steel, you speak directly with Allan, the owner-operator who will be transporting your vehicle.

As a genuine car enthusiast, Allan understands that a special vehicle is more than simply a way of getting from one place to another. He takes the time to discuss the vehicle, collection access, destination and any concerns you may have before the job is confirmed.

There is no call centre and no handover between different departments. You deal directly with Allan throughout the process.

How Specialist Vehicle Transport Works

1. Tell Allan About the Vehicle

Provide the make and model, collection location, destination and preferred date. Let Allan know whether the vehicle starts, rolls and steers, along with any low-clearance areas, modifications or special requirements.

2. Collection and Access Are Assessed

Allan will discuss driveway access, loading space and anything else that may affect collection or delivery.

3. Receive an Upfront Quote

You will receive a clear quote before the transport is confirmed.

4. Careful Collection and Delivery

Your vehicle will be carefully loaded, secured and transported on the Precious Steel tilt-tray truck to the agreed destination.
