Default Enclosed transport company

I need to arrange round trip transport to/from my preferred PPF installer who is in the DFW area (I'm in OKC). The guy he usually uses for in town stuff wanted $3k round trip for a flatbed. This seems ridiculously high to me, so I'm looking for recommendations for enclosed transport companies that you guys have used and have confidence in.

I used Dealer's Choice Auto Transport (https://www.dealerschoiceautotransport.com/) to transport my CPO 2021 C2S from Porsche Fort Myers (Florida) to Los Angeles. It was the company that the dealership recommended. They delivered the car with no issues and kept a constant line of communication to let me know where the car was.

I have not. I'm pretty loyal to my current installer, honestly. It's a trek, but this will be the 4th car he's done for me and all have been phenomenal. Will definitely keep them in mind for smaller job in future though.

May I ask who is your guy to do the PPF in the DFW Area. I have a 992 incoming to be delivered in July and I was looking for a reputable place to do the PPF on my car in the DFW area. And can you share how was your experience with that guy?

New Image Auto Detailing in Haltom City. I’m probably the most obsessive person you’ll ever meet and he’s met and exceeded my expectations on the previous vehicles. I know they say not to judge a book by its cover, but I think you can tell a lot about an installer by how he keeps his shop. His shop looks like an operating room, and his attention to detail is consistent with that. Ask for Kody.

Intercity Lines is the best IMO from limited personal experience and second-hand from lots of others.

If it's only 450 miles round trip, just track wrap it and drive it. How many days does he need it for?

I had my 992 shipped from Palm Beach FL to Detroit in a 2 car enclosed trailer (I didn’t want any cars above mine to drip fluids on my cabriolet top). I paid $1,400 one way.
