Professional Car Shipping To and From Phoenix & Scottsdale, Arizona

"Moved from Chandler to Chicago. Great price and very professional service."
"Retired to Sun City — Lepke shipped both our cars from Minnesota. Highly recommend."
Phoenix and the greater Scottsdale-Tempe-Mesa-Chandler metro area is one of America's most remarkable growth stories — and one of its most seasonal auto transport markets. The Phoenix metro has been one of the fastest-growing regions in the country for over a decade, drawing retirees, snowbirds, tech workers, and young families from colder states at a pace that keeps our carrier network busy year-round. At Lepke Auto Transport, we've served the Valley of the Sun since 1991 with the family-owned reliability and expertise that seasonal and permanent residents alike depend on.
Phoenix's highway infrastructure is built for the desert scale. I-10 runs east-west through the heart of the metro, connecting Phoenix to Tucson to the southeast and Los Angeles to the west — making it one of the most important auto transport corridors in the Southwest. I-17 heads north from downtown Phoenix toward Flagstaff and the Colorado Plateau. Loop 101 and Loop 202 circle the metro's extensive suburban communities, connecting Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, and Gilbert. This highway network means our carriers cover the entire Valley efficiently.
Snowbird season Nov–Apr: Every fall, tens of thousands of "snowbirds" from Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Canada make their way to the Phoenix area for the winter — and thousands of them ship their vehicles rather than put the miles on driving across the country. Lepke Auto Transport manages this seasonal surge expertly. Book in October for November arrivals to get the best rates before the rush peaks.
Retirement community moves are a cornerstone of Phoenix-area auto transport. Sun City, Sun City West, Sun City Grand, and dozens of other age-restricted communities in the northwest Valley attract thousands of retirees every year who are downsizing, relocating from northern states, or making permanent moves to Arizona. Many bring two cars — a daily driver and a recreational vehicle — and rely on professional auto transport to move both without putting unnecessary miles on either.
Scottsdale's luxury market adds premium transport demand to the mix. The upscale neighborhoods of north Scottsdale — Paradise Valley, DC Ranch, Silverleaf — are home to high-end vehicles that deserve enclosed transport. We regularly ship Porsches, Mercedes, BMWs, and luxury SUVs to and from Scottsdale for residents who maintain homes in multiple cities. Our enclosed carrier option provides climate-controlled, fully enclosed protection for these valuable vehicles.
Tech industry growth in Tempe and Chandler — driven by companies like Intel, TSMC, and Amazon — brings a younger, more mobile workforce to the Phoenix metro. These professionals often relocate from California, Oregon, or Colorado and choose to ship their vehicles rather than drive the mountain passes or desert highways. Whether moving from the Bay Area or from Denver, our team coordinates efficient transport with transparent pricing and real-time tracking.
One note for Phoenix-area customers: Arizona's extreme summer heat (June–September) can be a consideration for certain vehicles. Black vehicles and those with leather interiors may be better suited for enclosed transport during peak summer months to avoid interior heat damage during transit stops. We'll advise you on the best transport option for your specific vehicle and season.

Larger vehicles like SUVs or trucks take up more space and affect fuel consumption.
Non-running vehicles require specialized winching equipment to load safely.
Total mileage and the accessibility of your locations determine the base rate.
Choose standard open-air transport or premium enclosed protection for luxury vehicles.
Yes — snowbird transport is one of our most popular services in the Phoenix area. Every November through April, we coordinate seasonal vehicle moves between Phoenix/Scottsdale and northern states like Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Illinois. We recommend booking in September or October to secure your preferred November arrival date at the best rate.
Yes! We provide door-to-door service throughout the entire Phoenix metro — Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Peoria, Surprise, Goodyear, Sun City, Paradise Valley, and all surrounding communities. Our carriers navigate the Valley's loop and freeway system efficiently.
Open transport is safe for most vehicles year-round. However, during peak summer months (June–August) when Phoenix temperatures regularly exceed 115°F, we recommend enclosed transport for vehicles with leather interiors, vehicles with existing paint sensitivities, or any high-value vehicle. Enclosed transport keeps the vehicle shaded and protected during transit stops.
Phoenix to Los Angeles is one of the most popular and fastest auto transport routes in the Southwest. At roughly 370 miles via I-10, this route typically takes 1–2 days with excellent carrier availability. It's one of the most competitively priced routes we offer given the very high volume of vehicles moving on this corridor.
Absolutely. Sun City, Sun City West, and the many other retirement communities in the northwest Valley are among our most common Phoenix-area destinations. Many retirees moving from the Midwest or Northeast ship two vehicles as part of their permanent relocation. We handle multi-vehicle moves with coordinated scheduling and straightforward pricing.
