Motivated-Movers

Not a great experience. 3 guys showed up on time (was told there would be 4) and they brought nice truck, pads, dollies, etc. But total amateurs who packed poorly, broke stuff, and made re-​work of several things in order to add more time to the bill. I have moved a lot in my life, and know 3 strong motivated movers should have done everything I needed in their 3 hour minimum. I dismissed them at about 4.5 hours when there was about half a load to finish up. Just too expensive for the careless approach to packing. Tyler appeared to supervise and strategize for more time. Jaime was actually great — would use him again but not with current employer. Jacob worked hard too. All were nice guys. Just amateur movers. Maybe I should have expected that. $ 165/​HR with 3 hour minimum isn’t out of line for professional local movers. But they were only about ²⁄₃ done after almost 5 hours — and I only had them move the big stuff. Did the small stuff ourselves.

These guys arrived promptly, wasted no time, and got down to business. They disassembled items and moved everything out of the storage. However, they lost screws, broke parts, and required help on my part. If you have a small load, they will do. If you have a big load, call someone else because they aren’t as motivated as they claim.

For the actual moving furniture the team did pretty good. They were quick and we’re working their butts off. However, they showed up 4 hours late without a phone call and multiple phone calls from my end to bug them. They dented the dryer, refrigerator and a bookcase and wouldn’t answer for phone (no voicemail) or respond to the email I sent requesting to fix these things.

First of all Brian I did not demean, curse, or yell at your staff. I did, however yell and curse at you after you started to yell at me. We have been waiting patiently for a week to get some sort of response from you. My safe does not have a scratch, it is gouged. You keep telling us that the couch is against the wall, so no one will see the hole. Guess what, I see the hole. You say the safe still works, I just has a little scratch in it. When the scratch goes to the metal below, it becomes a gouge. I am really disappointed in you for not doing the right thing in either repairing my damaged items, replacing them, or compensating me for them. Now we are going to have to settle this in court.

The movers were absolutely fabulous!!! I would definitely use them again! Thank you for making this so easy!

So happy they were willing to do a small job, just a kitchen set. Prompt, friendly, great service at a fair price. Would use again.

Motivated– Movers were fantastic! On time, professional and efficient. These guys rocked my move and I would tell anyone in the area to give them a call. The owner Brian was amazing to work with and the whole experience made the horribleness of moving much easier to endure. I would never want to do another move without these guys again!

We could not be happier with our experience with Motivated Movers! They were on time, hard working, professional, and courteous. In 32 yrs of moving including coast to coast moves this is the best crew we have ever worked with. Whether you have a small or large move, call this company. They will take great care of you and your belongings!

I’m a Realtor® and part owner of a property management company. I’ve recommended all my clients that need moving services to use Motivated Movers. My clients have always given me great feedback on their services. The owner Brian ensures they are well taken care of for me and I know when I refer clients to them that they are in good hands. Their prices are extremely affordable and I highly recommend motivated movers for any of your moving needs!

These guys are great, they were right on time, friendly, and professional. My husband had work that day and I was alone with my three year old and they were so nice and fast they cleared out my four bedroom house in just over an hour, with no casualties!

Great price and great service! I received a quote in a timely manner and the guys showed up on time and got the job done. They were flexible as I kept moving the date up as my situation was changing. They definitely took the stress out of the move. Also the guys hooked up my washer and dryer and put my bed together which was a nice added touch. I would recommend and use this company again.

Beware of false advertising!!! The rates on their website do not reflect the quote that I was given. On their website, it states that they charge $ 1 per mile when hiring 3 movers. I was quoted $ 75 for travel time, even though I am moving less than a mile from my current home! So, I contacted Brian to ask about the price difference and he said that I am being charged for their drive from their business’ location in Turlock, round trip for my actual move, and then the drive back to their business in Turlock.
In California, the California Public Utilities Commission requires all movers to charge «double drive time» on hourly rated moves, which means they can only charge you double whatever time it takes for your ACTUAL move. By law, they cannot charge you for the time from their business’ start location to your house and back. Even after sharing this legal information with Brian, he was adamant that he was providing a great deal! What??? It’s the LAW, Brian! I will definitely NOT be doing business with this unscrupulous company.
Movers Beware!

Motivated-​Movers did a fantastic job for us with our move. We called Brian on a Monday and the only day he had available was the following day. He came right over that Monday afternoon to give us his estimate and recommendation and we set everything up for the following morning. He bid me for four movers at a set rate per hour and showed up the following day with the 4 guys and himself making 5! The price was the same and he and his guys worked their tails off getting us moved. Everything was done carefully and in a professional manner. I would recommend them and their services to anyone needing to be moved.
Great job guys!!!

Brian was extremely energetic, organized, thorough, punctual, responsive, proactive, respectful, professional, and diligent. He is a highly effective communicator and made sure we were comfortable and knowledgeable every step of the way. His two «clean-​cut movers» were incredibly respectful and hard working. The entire moving experience was painless, pleasurable and finished an hour earlier thanks to Brian’s leadership and his Motivated Movers team!

Brian and his team were great. As a single mom it was tough finding somebody I trusted to do a good job and a fair price. They did an amazing job. You can trust Brian. Plus him and his guys are cute too.

I felt like a lot of the workers were inexperienced/​untrained and somewhat inefficient for the price. The biggest disappointment was the lack of business ethics and manners. I’ve never in my life been spoken to so rudely by a hired professional!
