We moved our piano with this mover, we asked them to arrive at 10:30am, however they showed up around 1:30pm, we were waiting for them for 3 hours!! Also we asked them to move the piano and remove the trash for $500, but moved the piano with the trash to the destination! Which is ridiculous. After this, we called them to let them go back to remove the trash as our agreement, but the guy who answered my phone hang up during the middle if the call and refused to answer my calls. We have to deal with the trash at the destination by ourselves. After all, my experience is that: don't pay and let them go unless you think everything is perfect, or they will never be responsible for anything. Avoid this mover if there is other choice! read more

Great team that worked fast and efficient. No complaints about our heavy items or mismatch of stuff in our garage. Creative in getting it all. Great team I highly recommend. read more

These guys are fantastic! Absolutely no negatives? Tony was able to schedule a full service move with Very little notice and packed a lot the night before the scheduled move. These guys simply don't stop until the job is complete. I honestly didn't see them take a break!! Coyle's pricing is very competitive among other moving companies in the area as well! Thanks Coyle for pulling off an almost impossible move as well as it could possibly be done without a glitch!! read more

Avoid these movers, they are dishonest and irresponsible. Not sure how they managed to get the 4 star reviews, they deserve a 0 star. They were super super late for our scheduled time since they said there is another move request they just received ahead of us. read more

I needed a baby grand piano moved from San Francisco to Marin. I called several places and Coyle's had the best price (half of what one other place estimated and $100. less than two others I tried). Coyle's always picked up the phone, were able to fit me in the next business day, were flexible when I changed the pick up time, showed up right on time, were cheerful and pleasant, careful with the piano and did the job quickly. I couldn't be more pleased! Thank you Coyle's! read more

We've used this company twice in the past two years, and each time they've exceeded expectations. They also helped friends of ours who raved about them. The guys who work for this company are friendly, courteous, and careful HARD WORKERS. They didn't even take any breaks that I noticed. It took two trips to move us into our home, but they still got it all done in about 4 and a half hours. I'm VERY happy we won't be moving again any time soon, but I know exactly who we'd call if we had to. Can't recommend them highly enough. read more

Coyle's came highly recommended by a composer friend. I was initially put off by the poor communication; Tony would always answer the phone, but no call backs and no response to email to cement the schedule. I was worried they weren't going to show up. Suffice it to say that Tony appears to be what I would call "old school" (he kept his word), that despite the virtual communication blackout, he showed up perfectly on time and moved the instruments with care and ease, despite our San Francisco stairs. If you can deal with somewhat loose communication but tight execution, I think you'll be pleased. I will call Tony again if I have to move the B3 or piano. read more

I'm writing this review to warn you away from these guys. Yes, the guy on the phone is gruff and a character, but he had worked with my storage cube people before and I figured they wouldn't steer me wrong. I arrange for a 3-man crew to come and load my apartment into some storage cubes. I explain to them that one piece of furniture of mine - a midcentury modern desk - is constructed slightly weirdly and let them know of the proper way to move it in order not to damage it. These guys then proceed to ignore what I told them and rip one of the legs out by the screws as a result. But the head guy keeps shouting at me that he "didn't bloody break" my "fookin" desk, despite the fact that the leg was now detached. While this is happening, I notice that the tape from the tape gun I'm using disappears whenever I put the tape gun down, forcing me to refill it each time. It turns out that one of the movers prefers to just grab the tape from the gun and when I tell him to please refrain from doing so he storms out in a huff. At this point the head guy says that they're quitting and that I would have to pay them cash up front in order to get them to do the job they were hired to do, and at that point they were barely a quarter of the way done. Since the storage cube people were only there for a limited window of time, these movers had me and they knew it. Long story short, I got them to finish the job but they took their sweet time and delayed the process so that what should have taken an hour and a half took three. These guys are a bunch of fragile egos who won't listen to you, damage your furniture, and will extort you when they know you don't have any other options but them. So save yourself some gray hair and go elsewhere. read more

Tony Coyle was a blessing for moving our families piano from San Francisco to Brentwood! We didn't have a Grand Piano, or Baby Grand Piano, but Tony and his crew treated our upright piano like it was made of Waterford Crystal. I was amazed from start to finish how much patience and care Tony had with our piano. Coyle's Moving and Storage still cared where the rest of the SF Bay Area Piano movers just turned their backs or purposely quoted me an outrageous price. The piano was a sentimental instrument that my wife played as a girl and now our little girl can learn and keep playing for years to come! Thank you so much Tony and Crew!! The Caltagirone Family read more

Mr Coyle and his crew just moved me into my new condo! They were prompt, polite, clean, and efficient. They got all of my valuables from San Bruno to Daly City with ease, and they only took 30 minutes longer than Mr Coyle estimated based on an over-the-phone assessment of my belongings. The whole thing was entirely painless, and I am happy to say that they didn't lose or break anything. Great work! read more

These guys are great and I would use them any time, for any moving job. They have all the good equipment and they do great work. HIghly Recommend! read more

When I called Coyle's a man answered the phone with a thick Irish brogue. I explained some details about the move and mentioned that I wasn't sure if two men would be enough b/c of the need to move a huge, very heavy king size bed. He said calmly, "they are very strong men". When the movers arrived they immediately took charge and began efficiently moving box after box into the truck. They worked with such diligence that I truly wondered if they were aware of the hourly billing arrangement. They were also careful to avoid rough handling of anything and there were no scratches or damage to any of my stuff or the apartment. When it came to the huge bed they brought out these intense looking straps and hoisted it a few inches off the ground, leaned back, and walked it steadily down 6 flights of stairs and then onto the truck. The man with the brogue wasn't kidding about the strength -- it had taken 6 men to bring the bed upstairs in the first place. Coyle's provided the best moving service I've ever had. I felt like every minute was spent efficiently and productively which made it a great value. The guys worked harder than any other movers I've seen and I will call Coyle's again in a heartbeat next time I decide to try another of SF's neighborhoods. read more

They told me they would be here between 11-12. Finally, at noon I called them. The guy in the office said they'll be there. Long story short, after two more calls to the office and the same reassurance, I finally get a call from the actual mover at 1:00 saying he'd be another hour before he could get there. My experience was they were unreliable and not honest. I will look elsewhere for movers. read more

Wife was quoted 2-3 hours for a 1 bedroom apartment move. They didn't see the apartment just quoted my wife over the phone. She had to take care of the move because I was at work. The move took WAY longer then expected they arrived on time but 3 hours later they where still loading up the moving van for our 1 bedroom apartment. Also, as soon as he got there he said he already brought a 3rd guy not part of the initial estimate but told the wife don't worry the 3rd guy will make this faster but cost more. She said ok would be great to be moved in 1.5 hours instead of 3, but that was wrong because it still took longer then the 2-3 hours that was estimated. The lead in charge told my wife we had a lot more stuff then a typical 1 bedroom apartment. Well then they should have quoted differently or said something in the very beginning. Rather then do that they waited to say anything until 12:30PM, not very communicative. I will say the wrapped everything in plastic nicely. The wife said they wrapped every piece of furniture sometimes taking 10-20 minutes to wrap something. While moving the and older gentleman sat in the truck taking phone calls for what we assume was other moving appointments, and started folding blankets my son and wife brought down because they had to help move. I would say unprofessional, hard to communicate with, and can not estimate to save their life. If you still consider going with them hopefully you have only 1 item and if they give an estimate have them come on site before giving you something over the phone as their estimates can't be trusted. read more

It has been said already....very poor communication. The driver said he would arrive at 11am for a piano move. We called him at 11:05 to check on arrival time. He said he was 30 minutes away. He was one hour late. When they finally arrive, there was no apology offered or acknowledgement of the delay. The lead guy was in my house for 5 minutes when I finally had to ask him his name. Tony and his moving partner actually did a decent job of moving the piano. They seemed to have a handle on moving it appropriately and protecting it by strapping it well into the moving truck. Unfortunately, Tony's poor communication and lack of consideration for people's time hinders him from getting a good review. Very unprofessional. read more

We moved twice once to the moving storage place and then to the new home! Nothing was broken or damaged! The guys worked fast and efficiently and Tony supervised it all! I'm happy, and yes would recommend! read more

I've moved with Coyle's movers within the city twice (once from the Richmond to the Marina and then back to the Richmond). They were timely, professional, friendly and they worked fast. I am getting set to move again in a couple of weeks; so, I will give an update after the next move. read more

Coyle's Moving and Storage just moved my piano from Burlingame to San Mateo. Tony and his staff were efficient, on time, and priced well. He is from Pacifica and his numbers are: 650-270-0572 and 415-752-8812. Professional and excellent communication as to timing and follow up. He also does office and house moving and is a member of the Better Business Bureau. read more

I can't express how much we appreciated Coyles services! They showed up 15 mins early and the movers were very polite, professional and took very good care of our belongings. I even saw new carrying techniques.....very impressed. They climbed a lot of stairs getting us into our home and was still friendly the whole time. Wonderful service with wonderful price! We will use them in a heartbeat again!! What would've taken us days to move ourselves took them Four hours total! Thank you Coyle's!!! read more

If you need a piano moved, go here. They show up on time and true to the quote given over the phone. Most importantly, the piano was unharmed and at no time did I feel worried. What else could you ask for? Oh yeah, they're cheaper than the other 4 places I called first...so they got that going for them as well. read more

these guys are great- highly recommended. i used coyle's twice last week: once to move half of my apartment into a cube for storage (which they packed neatly and to the brim), and the following day to move the rest of my belongings from san francisco to san bruno. both appointments- the guys were on-time, friendly, courteous. and the price is right! totally worth hiring these movers; will definitely use them again. read more

They helped my in-laws move and they were polite, accommodating and pleasant to work with. They went out of their way to help move many delicate plants and everything made it safely to their new home. read more

We had an entirely positive experience today with Coyle's - our first time every using them as a mover. We had arranged for another moving company to move our Yamaha upright piano this afternoon, but when that mover cancelled at the very last minute, we called Coyle's (based on reviews we saw on Yelp), and they were willing to show up to do the job within two hours of our calling them! And their price seemed very fair. Four guys arrived - on time - and they were remarkably polite, professional, and friendly. They were extremely careful while doing the move, which was very reassuring. They clearly knew what they were doing. I would recommend them highly! read more

I had a great experience with Tony and Coyle's today. Mine was a small move from one apartment to another apartment in the same complex. The movers showed up on time and were very courteous, professional and concerned with my satisfaction. They moved me in record time and the price was beyond reasonable. I will tell everyone I know about Coyle's. :) read more

they consist of 2 men.......one smokes and made all the things they moved smell. They damaged and scratched my furniture. Will not recommend them if u value your belongings. Otherwise if you just plan on hauling junk, they're the people you call. Also....they arrived one hour late! read more

Coyles came to my house and gave me a quote and then added another $500 to the cost at the end of the move. The movers did not secure my beautiful piano and it got damaged in the move. It had a very large gash in it. They also took too much time moving the furniture into the trucks and even though they had three trucks, they dismantled every piece of furniture which took even more time. I thought they took advantage of me and did not give me good customer service. read more
