Vehicle Relocation in Gilbert, AZ
Sometimes you need a car moved and it’s not an emergency. You bought a vehicle across town and can’t drive two cars home at once. You’re staging cars between properties. Your teenager just got their license and you need the extra car brought from your parents’ place in Mesa. Maybe you’re a dealer moving inventory between lots. Whatever the reason, Thompson’s Auto Repair & Towing handles vehicle relocation throughout Gilbert, the East Valley, and beyond. We’ve been moving vehicles for over 30 years — not just emergency breakdowns, but planned transports for people and businesses who just need a car picked up and dropped off. Simple, reliable, and fairly priced. Call 480-418-9206 to schedule.
Why Choose Thompson’s for Vehicle Relocation
Vehicle relocation is one of those services that sounds simple — pick up a car, drop it off somewhere else. But the details matter. Is the vehicle running or not? Does it need a flatbed or can it be dolly-towed? Is it a $5,000 Honda or a $90,000 BMW? Are you on a timeline?
Bryan Vivian and the Thompson’s team have handled thousands of vehicle relocations over three decades. We know how to match the right equipment to the job, handle the logistics, and deliver the vehicle in the same condition we picked it up. No scratches, no drama, no excuses.
And if the car you need relocated has a mechanical issue — won’t start, overheating, check engine light — we can look at it too. Thompson’s is a full-service auto repair shop in addition to a towing company. Need us to pick up a car, fix the brakes, and deliver it? We do that. It’s all under one roof.
How Vehicle Relocation Works
Step 1: Call 480-418-9206. Tell us what vehicle needs to move, where it is now, and where it needs to go. Let us know if it runs, any special handling requirements, and your preferred timeline.
Step 2: We quote the job. Vehicle relocation pricing is based on distance, vehicle type, and whether it’s running. We give you a clear number upfront — no hidden fees or surprise charges at delivery.
Step 3: Schedule the pickup. Relocations are usually scheduled within 24-48 hours. We’ll coordinate pickup times that work with your schedule. Need to meet us at the pickup location? We’ll be on time.
Step 4: We pick up and transport. Our driver loads the vehicle onto the appropriate truck (flatbed for non-running or high-value vehicles, wheel-lift for standard running vehicles) and transports it to the delivery location.
Step 5: Delivery and confirmation. We drop off the vehicle at the destination, confirm delivery, and you’re done. Easy.
Common Vehicle Relocation Scenarios
Here’s when people in Gilbert and the East Valley typically call us for relocation:
- Private party car purchase. You bought a car on Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or from a friend, and you need it brought to your house. Especially common when the car doesn’t run or you can’t drive two vehicles at once.
- Moving to or from Gilbert. Relocating from out of state or across the Valley and need a vehicle transported to your new place.
- Dealer inventory transport. Local dealers and used car lots moving vehicles between locations, auctions, and sales lots.
- Snowbird vehicle staging. Arizona winter residents need cars moved to or from storage at the start and end of the season.
- Family vehicle transfers. Bringing a car from a family member’s place — your kid’s first car from grandma’s house in Chandler, for example.
- Property management. Vehicles that need to be moved off a rental property, from an estate, or out of a storage unit.
- Body shop or dealer delivery. Vehicle needs to go from one shop to another, from a collision center back to the owner, or from a dealer’s service department to the customer’s home.

Frequently Asked Questions — Vehicle Relocation
Can you relocate a vehicle that doesn’t run?
Absolutely. Non-running vehicles are loaded onto our flatbed using a winch. We handle non-running relocations regularly — it’s no different from a breakdown tow, just scheduled in advance.
How much does vehicle relocation cost?
It depends on the distance and whether the vehicle runs. Local relocations within Gilbert are very affordable. Cross-town Phoenix metro relocations cost a bit more. Call 480-418-9206 for an exact quote — we’re transparent about pricing.
Can I schedule a relocation for a specific date and time?
Yes. Unlike emergency towing, relocations are scheduled. Tell us when you need it done and we’ll accommodate your timeline. We’re flexible.
Do you handle multiple vehicles at once?
We can coordinate multiple-vehicle relocations for dealers, families, or businesses. If you need several cars moved, call us and we’ll work out the logistics and give you a package price.
What if the vehicle needs repair before or after relocation?
That’s our specialty. Thompson’s is a full-service auto repair shop. We can inspect the vehicle at pickup, repair it at our shop, and deliver it running and road-ready. Or we can relocate it first and repair it later. Whatever makes sense for your situation.
