Default Shipping A Vehicle, Who to Use or Avoid?

I'm moving from Detroit to Seattle, and need to get my S2000 over there (in time for Christmas!). Does anyone have any shipping companies they would recommend? I had my Integra shipped from Seattle to Detroit w/a company that my previous employer selected, and they did a pretty poor job. The lip was scraped and the car was extremely dirty for some reason. I don't want that to happen to the S2000, especially since it's a convertible, and it's got zero door dings. Please let me know who I should look up, or who I should avoid.

Thanks!

I highly recommend Horseless Carriage. They shipped our 72' 240z from Atlanta to Houston when my parents moved. Driver was very nice and knowledgeable. The carrier had 6 brand new Ferrari's on it when they came to pick the cheapo Z up.

I used Angels Moving Autos a few times without any issues and were the least expensive I could find.

Some carriers ship the car inside a container, others are on open air carriers (your integra probably was). The container would be able to protect your car from the elements but may be a little more expensive!
