Year-Round Auto Transport in Los Angeles
Los Angeles enjoys a Mediterranean climate making it ideal for year-round auto transport. Carriers operate without weather-related delays nearly every day of the year. The only minor consideration is the late-summer Santa Ana wind season (September-October) which occasionally affects mountain pass routes east through the Cajon Pass and Tejon Pass. Winter weather in mountain pass crossings (Grapevine on I-5, Cajon on I-15) occasionally requires snow chains for carriers heading north or east during December-February storms.
