Transporting an A4

[Paul Bunzachi]

can anyone recommend a good car transporter service in the U.S.?
A friend of mine is shipping an A4 (1.8t auto) from Ohio to San Francisco
and has been quoted prices between $800 and $1100.
The $1100 shipper says that there is an upcharge because the A4 does not
have a tow hook to secure the car. Anyone have an experience with that?
Any recommendations/warnings appreciated.
TIA,
