I am in need of a good quality (dirt cheap) auto transport company here in the states?

 

you get what you pay for, no such thing as "dirt cheap" and "good quality"; gasoline is not cheap, and entrusting your prized possession to a "dirt cheap" transporter increases the risks of loss and damage considerably.

if you want the cheapest, rent a car hauler from U-Haul or others, and haul it yourself.

if you hire a transporter, check them with the BBB or other agencies by googling "such and such company complaints"

 

You might wanna check this out:

uShip - The Online Shipping Marketplace - Ship Freight, Furniture, Cars or Moves

It's sorta like Ebay for shipping. I've gone this route with good results but the usual caveats, as Jose mentioned, most certainly apply.

Picking a reputable transporter is the most important thing. After that, flexibility on pick-up and delivery dates will generally get you a better rate. If you're in a hurry and have a carved-in-granite schedule, it'll cost more.

Some transporters charge more if picking up or delivering to a residential address as it usually involves more work. If you can get the car to an industrial/commercial/warehouse location it might save you money....especially if it's a location regularly used by the transporter.

Open versus closed transport makes a big difference as well. If you don't care how dirty the car will get then open transport can save you money.
