Where Matthews fits on the map
Matthews is in southeast Mecklenburg County. US-74, Independence Boulevard, runs through town and crosses I-485 here, and NC-51 cuts across toward Mint Hill in one direction and Pineville in the other. Mint Hill is to the north, Stallings and Indian Trail are to the east, Weddington is to the south, and the rest of Charlotte is to the west.
For a car hauler, that I-485 interchange is the useful part. A carrier can pick up in Matthews and reach I-77 or I-85 on the loop without going through Uptown, and US-74 heads east toward Monroe and the coast.
Customer deliveries and off-lease returns for Matthews dealers
Matthews dealers sell cars to buyers who live hours away and take trades from all over the region. We bring sold units to the customer's driveway with our customer delivery service, move off-lease returns and fleet units, and run dealer trades with stores across the Carolinas.
Several units going out the same day can go on one order, with one contact handling all of them. If the regular carrier cancels on you, call the dealer desk and we will look for a truck on that lane.
Snowbirds, students and relocations
Matthews has its share of snowbirds who spend the winter in Florida. You fly down, the car rides on a trailer, and it is waiting when you land. See our Charlotte to Orlando and Charlotte to Jacksonville lanes for how those runs go. In spring, the same move runs the other direction.
We also ship cars for students heading to schools out of state and for families relocating for work. Before pickup, run through our vehicle prep checklist: clear out personal items, note any existing damage, and leave about a quarter tank.
After you book
We pick a vetted, fully insured carrier for your lane and confirm the driver and truck before pickup. You get the pickup window and the expected delivery window before the truck leaves. If anything changes on the road, you hear it from us first, not from the driver at the last minute.
Every order lives in the client portal at fctorders.com. There is no password to remember: enter your email, then the 6-digit code we send. You can follow the driver while they are active and download the delivery BOL for each car.
Open or enclosed from Matthews
Most cars ride on an open trailer, the same kind that delivers new cars to dealer lots. Pick enclosed transport for a classic, an exotic or anything you would rather keep covered.
