Our Story

Family-owned. Industry trusted. Since 1991.

30+ Years. One Family. One Standard.

Lepke Auto Transport was built on a simple belief: that every customer deserves the same care and honesty that you'd give a family member. What started as a small, hardworking operation in 1991 has grown into one of the most trusted names in vehicle logistics — without ever losing that personal touch.

"We don't just ship cars. We take care of people's property like it's our own."

Founded by the Lepke family, the business has been passed down and grown over three decades. Today, Tobias Lepke brings 17 years of hands-on industry experience to every quote, every dispatch, and every delivery — backed by a network of 30,000+ vetted carriers across the country.

We've shipped everything from daily drivers to six-figure collector cars, from military relocations to cross-country moves. Whatever the vehicle, whatever the distance — we get it there safely, transparently, and on time.

At Lepke, you'll never talk to a call center. You get a real person who knows your order, knows the route, and picks up the phone.

At Lepke, we handle your vehicle like it's our own. Our dispatchers monitor every shipment from pickup to delivery, keeping you informed every step of the way. With a network of 30,000+ vetted carriers, we match your vehicle to the right driver for your route — not just the nearest available truck.

Whether you're relocating across the country, buying a car out of state, or moving a fleet of vehicles for your dealership, we have the experience and the infrastructure to make it seamless.

A Message from Our Owner

"I grew up watching my father build this business on pure integrity — the kind where a handshake meant something. Today, I carry that same standard into every order. When you call Lepke, you're calling a family that genuinely cares whether your car arrives safely. We don't measure success by volume. We measure it by whether you'd call us again."

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! All auto transporters used by Lepke Auto Transport have a minimum of $50k coverage per vehicle in an open transport service. If your vehicle is valued at more than $50k, we recommend enclosed transport, which covers up to $150k.

Federal law limits auto carriers to hauling vehicles only. However, our carriers typically allow up to 100 lbs of personal items in the trunk free of charge. Anything exceeding that weight may incur an additional fee.

The driver will get as close to your door as possible. However, since these haulers are 80ft long and 80,000 lbs, they cannot always enter tight residential streets. In those cases, the driver may meet you at a nearby accessible parking lot.

We take a credit card deposit only AFTER your vehicle is assigned to a carrier — $0 upfront. The remaining balance is paid at delivery via cash, cashier's check, Zelle, or Venmo. You can also pay the full amount by credit card for a 3% processing fee.
