Anyone ever used a vehicle shipper that had decent rates and a good experience?

Looks like I may be getting restationed in Germany this September. I was weighing the costs of shipping (my VX) to Germany versus shipping it to relatives in WA for long term garaged storage. Our primary will be my wife's Xterra which will be more practical. Uncle Sam generally pays for one vehicle to go overseas with you.

I am currently stationed at Fort Benning Georgia. It was pricey when I drove across the US to get here from California (gas and enroute repairs). Just weighing the comparison this time in shipping to Washington state where I have in-laws.

I have never used an auto shipping company before and hoping someone has experience in this area. I received online quotes for about $1400 in an open transport.
