Default Interstate Car Transport - Vic to SA - Who is the current go-to?

Looking at buying a car over the border if it all checks out...any recommendations for interstate car transport - Melbourne to Adelaide?

Done it couple of times before and just flew over on first flight of the day, and drove it back myself:

$80 flight
+ $50 or $60 Vic unregistered vehicle permit
+ $150 tank of premium
+ $10-$20 at some bakery halfway
= very enjoyable get-to-know-you time with the new car on the open road (and no ****s given through the point-to-point cameras as no plates fknlol).

Unfortunately work commitments mean that is not possible, not now or for a couple or few months.

About 8 years ago got a big-**** van (Vellfire) delivered door-to-door from Sydney to Adelaide and it was change of $700. I know that was a long while ago, but that was door-to-door, Sydney to Adelaide, and big mofo of a van...current day I'm getting quotes of just under or bit over $1k, and that is for a regular car (running and not lowered) from Melbourne door to Adelaide depot. Don't care if it is open truck - same or even less chance of stone-chips and bugs as me driving it back myself.

Did get a cheap auto-quote from some mob called P&S or similar (just under $700), but checking reviews online it sounds like they are just a middle-man that sub-contracts out the various parts of the journey and their reviews are horrendous.

So who's got the good oil on transporters?

Or I just need stop being a tight-**** and realise it is not 2017 anymore, that is what shit costs, bend over and open my wallet.
