Default Shipping a car through Montero

Hi, all...
I am ready to ship my car from New York to DR through Montero Shipping Company.
I learned about Montero Co. through Dr1 and a good feedback posted by Stodgord on 12-11-05 but I would like to know if Montero shipping still reliable, If has not been any change since 2005 to the present. Any advice or experience will be appreciated.
I will report my experience with them and I am going to schedule the shipping for the first days of February 2009.
Thanks

I am shipping 2 Sony LCD TVs (One 46" and one 40") through Montero Shipping, I will report how it all turns out when they have arrived to Santiago. They should be going out this week and I was given a time of arrival as 3-4 weeks. I will be in Santiago at that time so it will be first hand information.

I would be interested to hear any stories you have about Montero Shipping. I have heard nothing but good things so far, but it's always good to get feedback, good and bad.

Thanks
Do you have an email address for Montero as the one on their website does not work.

Please keep us posted. Have they provided you with a price quote? From reading different posts what scares me is what will aduana charge once the car arrives.

Will Montero assist in obtaining insurance, plates, etc. so you can just drive your car off the dock.

Best of luck...........
