Why Ship from This Location with AutoMove?

Vehicles leaving the IAA Los Angeles South yard reach I-5 in about 13 miles, with I-10 roughly 16 miles out. Those are the corridors a car hauler actually runs to reach this gate, and the yard sits south of Los Angeles.
Booking a pickup here
Carriers can only load while the gate is open, so a truck arriving after closing waits until the next business day — that is why we book a pickup window rather than just a date. If you have won vehicles at more than one yard in this area, say so on the quote: putting them on a single carrier is normally cheaper than booking separate pickups.
How far is IAA Los Angeles South from major cities?
Driving distances from this yard: Long Beach 6 mi (15 min), Torrance 9 mi (18 min), Downey 16 mi (25 min), Inglewood 18 mi (28 min). Larger metros: San Diego 112 mi (2 hr 16 min), Chula Vista 122 mi (2 hr 29 min), Bakersfield 131 mi (2 hr 36 min). Mileage is measured on the road network, not in a straight line, and the times shown are typical car drive times. A loaded carrier runs slower and works to a pickup window, so plan on 1-2 days of transit to those metros once a truck is dispatched.
