With the acceleration of contactless shopping due to the pandemic and the entrance of online-only dealers, consumers have increased expectations for their car buying experience and dealer services like delivery.
In a recent study, less than a third of younger consumers prefer conducting car sales & aftersales in person at a dealership. Those same consumers were even more interested in contactless services, with half of them willing to pay extra for services like contactless delivery to their door.
While home delivery might have once been considered a luxury, it’s quickly becoming a customer expectation. As a leader in the auto industry, Cottrell is invested in ensuring our dealership partners are prepared for the future.
In addition to existing 1-car, 2-car and enclosed solutions, Cottrell is happy to partner on custom solutions to meet specific needs. Delivery units fit a variety of trucks, including some already found on a dealership lot.
Cottrell products are built to the highest standards. With over 100 years of combined experience, our engineering team is constantly working to improve our products, ensure structural integrity and customize our car haulers to meet the specifications of your loads.

While Cottrell offers over 40 different trailer models to fit your applications, we know there's no universal solution. Our engineers will work with you to use your hauling routes and the vehicle types you carry to create a fully optimized piece of equipment.
SHORT HAUL VS LONG HAUL Depending on your route needs, Cottrell engineers can work with you to create a car hauler that's optimized to fit more vehicles for long hauls or minimize steps in the loading sequence for short hauls.
CUSTOM PAINT With state of the art paint booths, we can match any custom color. An electro static paint process leaves your hauler with a durable finish that prevents rust and comes with a 5 year limited warranty.
