Here is an update! Just as I thought, it appears DAS has no integrity! A copy of a e-mail I just sent.....
My car was dropped off at a bond shed with no one to make a claim too. I was told to phone the shipping company which I did YOU! I would hope DAS would not be so shadey in dealing with this!
These are the facts, the car was undamaged and running when DAS picked it up. When it was dropped off at the bond shed it was not running with the driveshaft hangging and tranny fluid running out of it.As well as the front valance smashed up! I had 3 other people besides myself with me to pick up the car as witnesses. I would suggest DAS work WITH me on this other wise you will be paying the damages as well as the legal fee's . I won't be letting this go, I feel I have been very patient with DAS thus far. 3 months now!

Mr. Richmond,
Based on the information that has been provided, DAS is unable to accept liability for the damage being claimed. There has been no documentation provided that the damage you are claiming was present at destination. Upon delivery of the vehicle, all damage must be noted or documented on the delivery receipt or inspection form and unfortunately there is no documentation of damage. For this reason, we must respectfully deny this claim.
If you are able to provide any documentation from destination that verifies that damage was present, I will be glad to re-visit your claim and review that information.
However, at this time no evidence has been provided that the damage is related to transport.
If you have any questions regarding the decision of your claim or feel there is any information I may have missed, please feel free to contact me.
Kindest regards,
Zach Patterson
