Overview

TFX International is a Canadian vehicle transport company that specializes in moving cars, motorcycles, and specialty vehicles across Canada and the United States. The company traces its origins to 1981, when founder Wally Horodnyk became an equal partner in a freight brokerage business. After a sales staff member asked him to move a single car from Flint, Michigan, to Toronto, Ontario, Horodnyk borrowed a single-vehicle trailer and used his personal Ford F250 to complete the job. That first move gave rise to TFX International Specialized Vehicle Transport. The company's official history states that inquiries increased 400-fold once word spread, and Horodnyk recognized that no Canadian business was dedicated exclusively to moving cars. He purchased a Ford F350 and a two-car trailer to expand the operation. Since 1987, TFX International has offered vehicle transport in Canada and the United States. The company provides door-to-door service and handles a wide range of vehicles, including antique and vintage cars, show cars, museum vehicles, exotic and classic cars, prototypes, test cars, formula race cars, movie vehicles, and standard family cars and vans. It also transports motorcycles. TFX operates a specialized handling facility and storage, and its fleet uses state-of-the-art transport trailers, satellite GPS tracking, and advanced security systems. The company is fully licensed, bonded, and insured, and it is a Canada and US bonded carrier with knowledge of customs clearance, work visas, and documentation. TFX International serves individual owners as well as corporate clients. Its customer base includes snowbirds, show car owners, manufacturers, dealers, motorcyclists, sports teams, and companies relocating employees across Canada or the US-Canada border. The company has been called upon by major auto manufacturers to transport vehicles for photoshoots, special events, and high-priority clients. It is also the official Canadian shipping provider for Barrett-Jackson auctions. TFX International is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, and remains a private company.

History

TFX International's history begins in 1981, when Wally Horodnyk became an equal partner in a company that provided freight brokerage services to thousands of companies throughout North America. According to the company's official history, the business grew rapidly from $750,000 to over $10,000,000 in just five years. During this period, a member of Horodnyk's sales staff asked him to facilitate the movement of one car from Flint, Michigan, to Toronto, Ontario. Horodnyk, curious about moving that particular car, borrowed a single-vehicle trailer and used his personal Ford F250 to complete the move. This first job marked the birth of TFX International Specialized Vehicle Transport. Once word spread, inquiries increased 400-fold. Horodnyk realized there were no businesses in Canada dedicated exclusively to moving cars, and as a car enthusiast, the work aligned with his personal interests. He purchased a Ford F350 and a two-car trailer to expand the operation. The company's official website states that since 1987, TFX International has offered top-level vehicle transport in Canada and the United States, providing personalized and comprehensive auto shipping services. Over the following decades, TFX International built a reputation for handling a wide variety of vehicles, from standard family cars and vans to priceless antiques, formula race cars, prototypes, test cars, movie vehicles, and museum vehicles. The company developed a specialized handling facility and storage, and its fleet is equipped with state-of-the-art transport trailers, satellite GPS tracking, and advanced security systems. TFX International is fully licensed, bonded, and insured, and operates as a Canada and US bonded carrier with expertise in customs clearance, work visas, and documentation. The company has been called upon by major auto manufacturers to transport vehicles for photoshoots, special events, and high-priority clients. It also serves as the official Canadian shipping provider for Barrett-Jackson auctions.
