Great experience! It's scary to move, but Alex, Mr. Garcia and team we're very quick with updates, quick and they know how to move you out quickly! I highly recommend them. Affordable price and great quality & customer service . Very professional and communication outstanding read more

Likes: Professionally packed my furniture. Movers were polite and skilled. I could find movers within 10 days which is normally hard to do in SF. Dislikes: Took 8.5 hours to move my one bedroom to the new place 10 minutes away. Called on the third person towards the end to be able to finish on time. Charged me almost 2K which was higher than my previous moves. Damaged a floor lamp (400$) and my new wall. No plans for damage compensation or repair but to give me 20$ discount! read more

The entire process was amazing! I've used movers before but I've never experienced this kind of customer service. I needed to move on a Saturday and made the appointment that same week. Derrick was very communicative and made sure to keep me informed every step of the way through text and phone calls. My move was a bit complicated. Loading a truck with a lot of stuff from a storage unit, dropping it off at the new house, going to the old house to grab more stuff, and dropping it off at the new house. I asked other moving companies for quotes for this and they were either extremely high or they said they only do moves between two points and would charge this as two separate jobs. Dependable movers said no problem. The quote was very reasonable and things just kept getting better from there. The guys were amazing. They were very polite and respectful. They were extremely careful with everything. Nothing was damaged (house or stuff) specifically because they were so careful. Their energy level was consistently high and they were never irritated once, even when things were taking longer then expected! This company really puts your needs first. They understand moving is difficult and they completely take the pain out it. I hope they get plenty of business and grow because they deserve it. I would definitely recommend dependable movers! read more

Dependable Movers - Movers Near Me

I really appreciate these guys taking care of a last minute scheduled move to pick up 3 of my uboxes from uhaul storage and to bring them to my new place, and unload. One thing I noticed from Derrick and AJ, the guys that helped with the move, is that they are honest, stand up guys. They were professional in communication, had the right tools for the move and also the strength to lift some of the heavier bigger items. I live in San Diego also, so I'm glad that they cover this part of California. Without a doubt, I'd recommend these guys for any type of moving services read more

On time, friendly, hard working, communicative, and of course dependable! We appreciate hard working people these days and we found them. Jonah and Jason showed up on time and were great. Later in Derrick the owner and AJ came and continued to work efficiently and hard. Everyone was considerate and friendly! We had a close move and will definitely use them when we hopefully move to Arizona in the future! read more

These guys are absolutely the BEST!!!! After reading horror stories online about OTHER moving companies, I found Dependable Movers with amazing feedback. To clarify, I hired them to load a Pod I had rented for a cross country move. I did the packing, but knew I would have no clue how to pack a pod. From my first conversation with Derrick to schedule, I found them HIGHLY professional. Of course conversations are easy. But from the first moment, everything happened exactly as Derrick said it would. Derrick and Simon showed up exactly on time, they were VERY professional, took excellent care of my stuff. In fact, they were more worried about handling my belongings with care than I was. I cannot find enough good things to say about Derrick and Simon. If you're looking for movers local or long distance do NOT hesitate to call this company. read more

I went with dependable movers because a friend recommended them. I had two guys come and pack move everything and they wrapped a lot of the stuff up, so from all accounts they were great. I spoke with Steve and asked if he was insured/bonded/ warranted if anything got damaged and he assured me that he was. We are now 2 weeks later and he has not come to fix the couch that got torn up when the movers tried to get it through the door. He made dates that he would come and has completely blown me off, even to the point he has stopped answering my calls. I have sent an email stating I would like to file a claim because he obviously has no intention of coming back. I also pointed out that the movers made a line in my 60 inch TV and no response. They seem very professional at first but if u have any damages be prepared that they have below average customer service and do not care about ur satisfaction or dissatisfaction. He was also supposed to come over and do a trash removal and for those who have to be out at a certain date u understand that time is not on your side but of course he didn't show, call ahead of time and wouldn't answer my calls. He answered my mother in laws call which was even more apparent that he had no intent on showing up or resolving the issues his delivery men caused. It seemed like a great price but to dish out for a new 60 inch smart TV and fix a the pleather automatic chairs then it is fully not worth it. This was my first time moving into my first house and they started me out with a bitter taste in my mouth. The best I can say if u do use them then don't pay in full until they rectify any issues because u will not hear from them again. I hope this review helps others not get screwed over, good luck ..... you'll need it. read more

See all

Absolutely the most efficient, dependable, honest, trustworthy - I can't say enough - we were so apprehensive with all the scams out in the moving world and we lucked into these guys with Angi. I called several companies and Derrick owner of Dependable Movers was the first to respond, he talked a good talk and he actually did what he promised! Reasonably priced and very careful with my stuff. Jonah, Max and A.J. are hard working guys, they took on any task to get my stuff packed safe. They used very safe techniques and all worked well together. read more

We will only use this company for our moves from now on. We moved this December locally in South Orange County. We've moved six times in the last 6 years and Dependable Movers were heads above every other moving company we used previously. Moving is stressful; these guys know that and literally help to make your move as stress free as it can possibly be. Derrick coordinated our move. His communication was fantastic. He handled us switching our move date and extending our moving time the day of the move with ease. Robbie and Jonah were our movers and we cannot say enough good things about them. They handled our possessions as if they were handling their own property. They were unbelievably hardworking, efficient, professional, and did an exceptional job overall. They asked where we wanted each object, took the time to center heavy objects, handled fragile pieces delicately, and surpassed our expectations for what to expect from a moving company. If these guys are available on your move date book them immediately! read more

We hired Dependable Movers to help us move about 40 miles. We highly recommend this company. Their communication days before the move was through. They (Simon & Jonah) arrived on time. We're very respectful & communicative. Then they worked hard to get us moved in a time efficient manner. We appreciated their efforts in customer service. You won't go wrong hiring these folks. read more

Reached out online for an estimate and did not get a response until the next morning. I replied with the info they requested and with the date of the move. By the afternoon I still had not received an estimate and reached out again online stating an estimate would not be needed if they could not confirm my date, but asked to let me know either way. Still nothing. I'm sure the response to this review will be that they were too busy to reply. I suppose that's a good problem to have, but bad for customer service and growing a business. They certainly do not need my business and during the time in which they could not respond, I was able to secure three estimates from their competitors. Cheers!! read more

Our needs were unusual - we needed to load a truck and then unload the same truck three days later. As such, we dealt with two different teams from this company, and both were great. Helpful. Ready to go above and beyond. Patient in our moments of indecision. Cannot recomend them enough. I hate moving. I hope I never have to move again, but if I was moving I would call them. read more

They were on time, friendly, and handled everything with ease and care. We only moved locally but everything was packed and unpacked without damage. We will definitely use again and recommend them to everyone. read more

These guys are great - professional, fast and dependable. I will definitely use their services again this coming December. They were able to pack and unload everything into our storage unit, within 4 hours. read more

Martin and Jesse were quick, professional, and handled my furniture and boxes with care. When I unpacked nothing was broken. I would recommend dependable movers to anyone who needs professional movers. Excellent service and the price point was in my budget. read more

we needed to move a one bedroom apartment from Capitola to Irvine. After considering reviews and quotes from multiple high rated movers we decided to go with Dependable Movers. Jeff did the booking a few says before the move. I was concerned about the pick up time and delivery time. I wanted pick up early morning to give me time to travel to irvine during the day for the next day delivery and be there to let the movers in. I did not want to be stuck in the LA traffic at night. I emphasized that over and over to Jeff. The schedule was set for 9 AM. But on the day of the move they were late by 3 hours for whatever reasons. So I did end up driving at night through the LA traffic getting to Irvine around 10 at night. The delay was very disappointing to me. But the crew did a fantastic job once they arrived on site. To speed up the loading they actually send four person instead of two which I greatly appreciated. The crew were very professional, seemed well trained and handled our stuff with care through a flight of stairs. The truck was on time at 9 AM on destination and agin did the unloading and unwrapping of furniture/ etc carefully and I can say everything went well and nothing was damaged. I also want to acknowledge the driver Alim as a super nice guy very polite, professional and helpful. I would have given them straight 5 stars. I took one star off because I felt they fell short on their initial commitment. That is something they need to improve. After talking to them about the delay and their management response, I have no hesitation to recommend them. read more

I was looking for a reliable company to move my dad in with us after the loss of my mother in January. I was referred by a friend in our local chamber to Dependable Movers. Derrick was very easy to work with as far as getting a quote and setting up the move out date. Two very polite and professional young men showed up on time and did a great job packing up/protecting items and loading the truck efficiently. They arrived at our house and were able to offload many items into a pod we had rented and some items into the house. Thank you all for making an emotionally difficult move, stress free for my family. read more

We had some bad experiences last time with another moving company that WENT SO SLOWLY they took nearly triple the amount of time for the same type of move. We were so scared that it would happen again. This was a complete opposite experience from our last move. They were everything that we wanted from our movers. They were on time, quick, professional, careful with our belongings, and kind. We purchased a groupon for 3 movers for 3 hours. They got the move done in 2.5 hours and made sure they didn't go over. I pre-pack, wrap, label, and stack all of my belongings and all I want from a mover is to move my things quickly and without causing an unreasonable amount of damage. When they got to my new place, they arranged all of the boxes into the rooms that I wanted them to be placed in, and even helped us line up the furniture in the rooms- all with a smile on their faces. They exceeded my expectations and were totally awesome 10/10 would recommend to friends and family. They make sure that you understand this, but there is a double time charge for driving time so if this is your first time using movers, it's just something to be aware of. For us, it was $60 which is no big deal compared to how much we had to pay last time for the movers who scammed us. read more

I can't say enough positive things about Dependable Movers. From my initial interaction with Derrick, the owner, to the two young gentlemen, Simon R. And Jonah B. that came to my home, it was incredibly professional. Everyone was so kind, and they took great care moving my furniture, making sure not to damage any of the items, or my home. I found their prices very fair and reasonable too. If I ever need anything moved again, they will definitely be my first call! Thank you so much Dependable Movers!! read more

Our two movers Jonas and Max showed up on time and were professional and most important they were very respectful. They handled my wife's Buddhist display with care and attention, which my wife was grateful for. They were quick and yet careful through the whole process. I will always use them from here on out, there price is fair, and like I said they were RESPECTFUL. read more

Very happy with my unique moving project. The movers came by on two different occasions and both times were very professional, safe, and efficient. I will be using them again! read more

This company was great to work with. Very reliable and they were very careful with all my boxes. Great communication and the guys were very prompt. Thanks for all your help. If you're in need of movers, definitely call this company!!!!! read more

Not dependable. I spoke to Derrick on Thursday morning and he was to get back to me by end of Friday with a quote and I have heard nothing. I held off hiring a national firm because I prefer to cater local businesses. Disappointing. read more

Fast efficient friendly crew. They moved my house taking extra are of my stuff as if it where there's. They where extremely friendly and worth every dollar it cost me. I would recommend them to any one looking to move. Compared to the cost and labor of doing the move myself there price was fair. read more

To begin with, I don't usually write reviews, good or bad, on Yelp. However, our experience was so subpar that I feel compelled to do so. The only reason I am not giving them 1 star is that Derek has been personable and courteous despite our obvious frustration. There were several minor things with our move from Temecula to Poway, which would not normally prompt me to give a bad review. Our piano was chipped on the truck loading ramp. They underestimated the space needed to move our things, requiring me to borrow a friend's SUV the next day to complete the move on my own. A futon and crib were disassembled for the move, with screws/rollers lost, requiring me to buy them and assemble them on my own (these were compensated). Our bed was also shoddily reassembled and I had to redo it on my own. However the major thing that made me write this is that we are missing several boxes of our things. I have spoken several times to Derek and they cannot find these boxes, and did not offer to compensate us for these items. Because an inventory was not taken, I cannot prove these items are missing, but I think this speaks more to the lack of professionalism on the part of the moving crew. I have used other moving services before that took detailed inventories, accounted for every nut and bolt, and were timely. Even without this, the entire purpose of movers is to get your items from point A to B; all the items! This was the first move for several members of the crew, but in the end that does not excuse lost items in a one truck move. Derek again was very responsive but my overall impression was that this was a disorganized move which resulted in the above issues. read more

We used Dependable Movers for the first time. We were extremely satisfied with there work. We called with only one days notice. Robby and Jonah were on time, extremely polite, and ready to work. Packed things nice and tight. With extreme care. They have all our business from this day forward. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM. Storms Family read more

They were awesome. The booking agent extremely nice returned calls fast or answered and what they promised they kept. Jonah and Max were my movers the best I ever had. Nice as could be courteous. Moved items repositioned them also very strong and dependable. Whatever I needed they completed with a happy attitude. Very happy!!!!!! read more

Our two movers were fantastic! Derrick was helpful and confirmed our move several times with patience and professionalism. Jonah and AJ were great! They were polite and made sure to get every last time, even if it meant repacking the back of the truck a few times. They called to say they were running late (even though they arrived only 8 minutes after expected). A reasonable price and was even offered an educator discount. By far, the best movers we have ever used!!! Thank you!!! read more

Derek, the owner of dependable movers, helped me organize a last-minute move on the day of our move. Derek really came through today for our family. He sent movers, Jonah and Jason, to help us with our move today. These young men were extremely respectful, courteous and hard working. They worked without a break, despite the extreme heat today, to helped us complete our move all in one day. We will definitely call them with any future moving needs. Also, they are one of the few moving companies that have a two hour minimum. This is very useful if you have a smaller move because most moving companies require a larger hour minimum for moving. Thank you for all of your help today! read more
