Vehicle Transportation at Frankman Motor Company

Decades of Long-Distance Delivery Expertise

At Frankman Motor Company in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, we pride ourselves on offering meticulously inspected and competitively priced pre-owned vehicles. But our service doesn’t stop there. With decades of experience in long-distance vehicle delivery, we provide an exceptional Free On Board (FOB) delivery service to ensure your new purchase reaches you safely and efficiently, no matter where you are in the country.

How Does Our Free On Board (FOB) Delivery Work?

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Choose Your Vehicle: Once you’ve selected the perfect pre-owned car, truck, SUV, or van from our extensive inventory, we finalize the purchase process with you.
2. Discuss Delivery Preferences: We offer flexible delivery options. You can either pick up your vehicle in person—many of our long-distance customers fly in to drive their new vehicle home—or opt for our hassle-free shipping service. We handle all logistics to ensure your vehicle arrives in top condition.
3. Transportation Logistics: We coordinate the entire shipping process, providing you with an estimated shipping cost upfront. This transparent approach ensures there are no surprises.

Arranging Vehicle Transport

With years of experience in nationwide car shipping, we partner exclusively with licensed, bonded, and insured transporters through Central Dispatch or our trusted network. We understand that delivering to a customer’s home requires a different approach than delivering to an auto auction. That’s why we tailor our service to fit your schedule, ensuring a seamless and convenient experience from start to finish.

Understanding FOB Origin

FOB Origin, or Free On Board Origin, is a crucial term in shipping that signifies the point at which ownership and responsibility for the vehicle transfer from the seller to the buyer. Here’s what it means for you:

• Vehicle Responsibility: The moment we hand over the keys to the transporter, the vehicle is officially delivered and is no longer under our care. This transfer of responsibility ensures clarity and transparency in the delivery process.
• Shipping Arrangements: We meticulously coordinate the shipping process, selecting trusted transport companies to guarantee your vehicle’s safe arrival.
• Local Deliveries: If your delivery is within 50 miles of our Sioux Falls dealership, one of our Frankman Motor Company agents might deliver the vehicle personally. In such cases, the vehicle is considered delivered once you receive the keys.

Transportation Cost Factors

Several factors influence the cost of transporting your vehicle:

• Miles and Region: The distance and specific region affect the transportation price. For example, delivering to a remote ranch in Texas may be more expensive than delivering to a house in Dallas, despite the shorter distance.
• Open vs. Enclosed Transport: Our standard is open transport due to its cost-effectiveness. However, if you prefer additional protection for your vehicle, we can arrange enclosed transport.

Each transportation case is unique. We provide a precise quote only after consulting with our transport company to ensure accuracy and transparency.

Estimated Delivery Time

Delivery times vary based on your location and the type of transport requested:

• Arrangement Time: It typically takes about one business week to organize the transport.
• Delivery Time: Once arranged, delivery generally takes an additional business week. Proximity to our Sioux Falls dealership can reduce this time.

While we cannot guarantee specific delivery dates, we always prioritize the security of your vehicle over speed, ensuring it arrives in excellent condition.
