If anyone deserves a 10 stars, this company certain would. Juan, Eddie, Henry were absolutely by far, the best MOVERS ever. I have my share of hiring movers, and I couldn't think of anything bad about them to talk about. They arrived on time, well organized as a team and structured. And most importantly, they all seem to enjoy and take pride of their jobs. I never have movers that actually were HAPPY with their jobs. They moved my furntures without leaving scratches or dents. They also took time to secure all the transporting items. They communicated with me every step of the way and will arrange furnitures in the fashion you would like ite. If I ever need to look for movers, they are definitely on top of my list. read more

I strongly recommend this company to anyone and everyone that is moving. I do so because I've moved plenty of times in past couple of years since I've have started my career. In doing so I've hired several different companies to come and help me move and have not been more satisfied with any other company then Smart Move (father and Son). I've had the worst experience with other companies and the workers that come move my home. They were inconsiderate and didn't have any respect for my furniture or personal items. Through all my moving I think that smart move is the best bang for your buck moving has to offer. It is a great piece of mind knowing that the people who move my house with Smart Move are the people who founded the company and own it. They take great care of my items and move with care. Very professional . Thanks guys !! read more

Not a smart move to use Smart Move! They do not itemize your move so if you have more than they thought, too bad! You have to move it yourself! I have always had moving companies either come out and inspect the items to move, or go room by room with me over the phone. These guys made another appointment after me and couldn't finish the job. I had a two bedroom apartment... After I told them I wasn't going to pay until the job was complete they threatened to leave and put my belongings in storage and sue me. They would not take out a single item until I went and paid them CASH! They also left one of my televisions on the wall at the old house that I had to hire another company to remove. I have moved back and forth from New York, twice!, and this was the WORST MOVING EXPERIENCE EVER!!! read more

These guys are liars and have horrible people skills. I don't know how they got these good reviews. My girlfriend made an appointment for 5pm. I was waiting for them at my residence until 5:30. I figured they would knock on the door. In their defense, they called ONCE and text me a couple times. Text? Anyways, so they called. I got my cell at 5:30 and realized the missed call. I call them back and the workers had already went home. 30 minutes buffer and they were from my residence and home. It's Friday, I get it. What got me extremely upset was the owner Juan. He was saying that they knocked on my door and spoke to someone telling them that they were there to "get some things". What the hell? First of all, who the hell goes to a place and tells a stranger that you're there to "get some things?" Second, I was there!! My family was close to the front door and NO ONE SPOKE TO ANYONE! When I asked him what address they went to because they might've gone to the wet oh my God residence, Juan became defensive and said they waited for 45 minutes. 45 minutes?? No sir. I called you 30 minutes after the time I thought you would be there and your workers were already in the wind. I should've kept my cell phone close to me if I would've known that no one was going to knock on the damn door! Don't lie to me and then tell me I'm in the wrong. I'd rather pay a little more money for a more professional company with some integrity. Also, they only take cash. I DO NOT RECOMMEND DEALING WITH THEM! read more

Juan and Eddie were just great! They were fast and efficient and handled everything with care. I was amazed at how creative they were in moving my furniture in odd sized doorways and windows. I highly recommend this family business and I will definitely call on them again if I need to. thanks, Smart Movers! read more

I can't thank Juan and Eddie enough. They were amazing and I am truly grateful for their services. I will definitely use them again.

It is impossible for me to begin to compliment this company enough. They just did our move from the South Bay to Ventura County. They were on time. They were professional. They were polite. They were quick. They were helpful. They handled every box and piece of furniture like it was their own. They were patient when our storage unit people took forever to let them in - even though they waited in the hot sun. They even showed concern for my senior parent who was exhausted after a long day of having her usual routine thrown off and a long drive, which was hard on her. They were unbelievably reasonable, considerate, and extremely pleasant. We've moved all over the country. We've used companies from United to Starving Students, to local small businesses to indies looking for a few extra bucks. None of them came close to the quality of service, the efficiency, and the pleasant demeanor of this company. They were absolutely the best. Use them and you will never EVER use anyone else. Though they didn't ask for a testimonial, I've told everyone I know about them because our experience was so surprisingly wonderful. This company deserves to be the #1 private moving firm in the Southern California region. They're INCREDIBLE! Oh yeah - even their truck was immaculate and well-equipped. I found them on Craig's List and was cautious since one never knows what they're dealing with and the flat fee was so reasonable. But as soon as that truck rolled up and I saw how well-kept and well-equipped it was - even how they handled the pre-setup before they began moving the items down to the truck, I knew we were in good hands. Use this company or be sorry and ripped off elsewhere. read more

These guys are excellent! Their hourly rate was decent. They were fast and careful, and didn't try and nickle and dime me after the move for things like "travel time" or "materials". What more could you want from your movers? read more

Such nice guys and so efficient! I was nervous about our first experience with movers but it was fantastic to sit back and watch someone haul all of our belongings down a steep flight of stairs. Furniture was wrapped, they were extremely careful and did an overall great job. Worth every penny! read more

These guys (a father and son team plus) are great guys. Just moved us out this weekend in 107 degree weather. They were energized, considerate, and efficient. Anything I hadn't organized or wrapped, they did it 5 times quicker and with such professional detail. My entire experience was at the highest level. The only drawback was I was charged for their half hour lunch and some of their moving supplies(which really were costly in my opinion). Definitely work with these guys, they are class A...just ask up front about other costs. read more

They were awesome. They came on time and met all my needs with how I wanted my belongings wrapped and moved. I would definitely use them again in the future and would refer them to anyone that needs help moving. read more

Using Smart Move was the best decision I've ever made. Not only did they bring the truck and do all the lifting, but they shrink-wrapped our couches and wrapped each piece of wood furniture with a moving blanket and shrink wrap. I just paid the hourly rate, no extra charges for wrapping or mileage, and we moved 40 miles away. I will use them every time I move from now on! read more

I never write reviews, but I find myself compelled to rave about Smart Move. I have used them twice now and both times it was an excellent experience. They have the best prices around, they are lightening fast, efficient and careful. They even took my crib apart, moved it and put it back together. EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT MOVERS. Juan and Eddie rock. I will never use Uhaul again...I'm a devoted fan. read more

Hands down the best movers in Los Angeles! I've moved ten times in ten years...don't ask.....and I've come to expect low levels of service from movers so when I moved this weekend and got the stress free professional service I did I was blown away. These guys are nice, prompt, professional....and the lowest priced around. You can't beat it and unfortunately Im a guy who knows. read more

A family run operation - Juan and Eddie were fantastic. They were on time, friendly, efficient and careful with everything. They showed up almost exactly to the minute they said they were going to, their rates are very competitive and they did a great job. Really professional operation here and thank goodness they exist here in LA. A real oasis in the strange and crooked and expensive world of movers here in LA. Thank you guys for doing such an awesome job. Highly highly recommend! read more

Juan and Eddie are great. First used them to move my business and like them so much I used them to help when I moved my house. Friendly, nice, polite, professional and about getting things done. My only note would be that sometimes when they first answer the phone, they can sound a little cold, but that's probably because they're moving something! Then they warm up right away. Definitely recommend. Actually, already recommended them twice in the past month. read more

I used this company twice in the last week to move my belongings. They were friendly, professional, fast, and on-time. I will use them for future moves and I highly recommend them to anyone who is moving. read more

Juan and Eddie are the best. On time, professional, careful and very efficient. They are the best movers I've ever used.

Look no further for the best guys to move your stuff. These guys are THE BEST. This was the first time I'd used movers. I called several companies and Smart Move was able to fit both my schedule and my budget. Juan and his guys were AMAZING. They hauled ass in the hottest day of the summer. They were very careful with all of my furniture and boxes, they set up my furniture in my new place and even offered to re-arrange it if I changed my mind. I'm happy to report that the only thing that got broken was a coffee cup. I read other reviews and was prepared to text Juan my address, moving date and time, and be prepared for him to just show up. He called the morning of my move and said he'd be 30 mins late, which worked out fine. The only surprise was that I had to pay for drive time, which I wasn't expecting. But they were SO AWESOME, I didn't mind. read more

So happy i went with them for my move! They were quick to respond to my quote request. Most affordable out of all the others. Very professional, quick and were able to get the job done perfectly. Unassembled and re-assembled my bed like pros ..I'll be recommending them to everyone i know. Thanks so much for helping me move. I'm so grateful and relieved now that it's all over, thanks to their help :) read more

First Time using movers. Juan and Eddie ROCKED. Called and got Juan on the phone. The call took 90 seconds. Texted him my time and day. He confirmed and called the day before to confirm again. I like no thrills companies. Clear and to the point. Showed up 10 min early. Once they started it was non stop. I got tired just watching these guys move. Didn't have to say one thing on how it should be done. These guys are pros. Worth every cent. It would have taken me just the same money and 3 days to do what they did in just a few hours. read more

I had driven my things to my new apartment and so only needed help unloading the moving truck. I scheduled over the phone and was not informed then, nor in the confirmation text of any charge minimums. I had already given Juan my card when I was shown the charges (my mistake) and was very surprised to find that I was going to be charged $210 for two workers to work an hour and fifteen minutes. When I asked to discuss the issue, Juan first ignored me, gave me packing advise when I asked again, and then told me that the real minimum was four hours and that I was getting a break. He was sure to give me his card in case I needed storage space. It's unfortunate that the money issue was handled so poorly, the two workers that actually helped move my items were very friendly and professional. I can only comment on the unload services, but I feel like I was somewhat taken and I would imagine what happened to me, happens often. read more

I was looking for an affordable moving company and was using Craigslist to find someone. I'm so glad I found this company. It's a father and son, Juan and Eddie. I spoke to the dad, Juan and set up everything through him. Great rates! Very professional and realiable. I would definitely recommend them versus hiring guys that don't know how to move things or wrap things from home depot or a uhaul location. read more

Smart Move got to my apartment early & moved all of our stuff in within 1 hour. These guys are fast, professional, and they don't complain. We had a Budget truck that we we were unloading into an apartment up 1 flight of stairs. Everything was handled carefully. I would highly recommend these guys. read more

These guys were fantastic! They showed up on time & were ready to go. I was so nervous about large glass & fragile items that needed to be moved down several flights of stairs but Eddie told me not to worry and assured me that they would take care of everything. They shrink wrapped my furniture and were very respectful of my belongings. I paid hourly and I felt the price was decent considering I had so much stuff. The move went off without a hitch. Not a single item broken & the move was completed in a timely fashion. It's a family run business and I like the level of professionalism that went along with these guys as they busted their butts moving my things. I would definitely recommend them in the future. Takes the headache out of moving your stuff! read more

Very professional. Were on time and fairly quick. Moved everything without any damage. Would hire again.

My advice is just get two movers. The third guy (the largest son) doens't do a thing. He is used for wrapping things and help move the larger furniture and waits around until someone calls him to assist them with a move. The skinny guy has more energy and the third is a waste of money as the move doesn't go any faster. They just charge more with the third mover. They are two sons and a father. The cost for the day was about $950 with tip and when I asked about the breakdown it didn't make sense but I just paid because he didn't make sense in the explanation and I was just too tired to deal with it. I also called because I was missing a couple of items(two boxes) and they didn't return the call. They have good PR and friendly to talk to when they did arrive. I won't use them again though. read more

Bob and David were totally awesome. Moved us within a 3 hour time span including help with a fridge. Stairs mean nothing to the stair master! Thanks guys. read more

Wow. These guys are amazing! I would hire them again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone. They are incredibly friendly, nice, hyper-organized, careful, super fast and affordable. My last move was a nightmare... and I was dreading doing it again. But these guys made the experience enjoyable. They are THE best in LA. Hire them. read more

We hired Smart Move to help us move our 2-bedroom apartment from West LA to Glendale. I was a little concerned at first because they do all scheduling by text message. But nonetheless they arrived on time and ready to work. All of our things were moved carefully and efficiently. Their prices were fair so I guess the text messaging (ie low overhead?!) worked out in my favor. I will hire them again for my next move. read more

very friendly, on-time, and well priced movers. I've heard horror stories about other companies but this was very easy and everything was done efficiently and considerately. I highly recommend. read more

Juan and Eddie are fantastic. They've moved us twice, and they make the process relatively painless. They are on time, courteous, their prices are completely fair and they move everything with care. read more

I regret not writing this review sooner as I was so pleased with this company's work. More than a year ago, they helped me move my folk's into a new home. It was a tough move due to the stairs in the old home. They made everything look easy, including getting the piano down the stairs. They were courteous, on time and hard working - and always replied to my calls in a timely fashion, even if it was by text message. Even after the hard move out, they took the time to put pads on all the furniture going into the new home that has mostly hardwood flooring. I would hire them again in a flash. read more

Smart move was on time, fast and flexible. They were VERY fast. Two truck loads took only 3 hours and that includes putting my furniture together again! Eddie is great and they were very careful with my furniture and my hardwood floors. Thanks Smart Move, I will definitely refer you to friends and family! read more

I was told by a friend who had recently been moved by Smart Move that it was $90/ hr. for 3 guys wrapping larger items, loading and unloading with light assembly. This I confirmed via text message. However, they arrived in only two. My husband and I had to take turns standing by the truck, to make sure our belongings were save, the entire time. The move took 7 hours. Also, they showed up with a truck 1/3 full of other people's things... kitchen equipment, a large sofa, etc. Obviously, things got mixed up. On top of it all, they told me they only accepted cash. I had to go to the ATM which only dispensed a certain amount. I gave them part in check (less than half) The day after the move, when unpacking we realised our printer was missing. I called, several times and got voice mail. Sent several text messages and no reply. This was on a wednesday. Continued texting and leaving messages until friday when, by late afternoon, we decided to put a stop on the check - which we alerted them about. We asked that they bring the printer and the check back, so that we may pay the balance in cash. NO REPLY. Finally I told my husband to call from work (a phone number unknown to them). They immediately picked up. Were dismissive and rude. Threatened us with legal action and said they did not know which truck was used for our move - which is BS. I don't believe they are such a large enterprise. Summary: we have yet to hear from them. Our printer has not been returned. I would not recommend them, as they do not know how to resolve conflict, rather avoid it. read more

I am a single individual, and moving everything I own into an apartment was way more than I could handle on my own. A former customer advised me to call Smart Move, and I'm so glad I did. Juan, Eddie, Adrian and their other helper (sorry, I forgot his name) were phenomenal. They arrived on time, worked quickly and efficiently, and were very careful with all my belongings. A couple of my pieces of furniture are in somewhat battered condition, and they were sure to handle these carefully to prevent further damage and even did a repair on a chair that was broken before they arrived. They cheerfully placed my furniture in my new place, and even moved a couple large things until I was happy with how I organized things. I've never before had a move where NOTHING was broken or damaged, but these kind guys did it! I really appreciated their professional, friendly, speedy and efficient work. I can't recommend them highly enough. read more
