James helped coordinate the move and explained all the details of the process. He was so professional, responsive and extremely helpful! Everything was so organized. In addition, I got a call the day before and the day of the move. The movers arrived on time. Lots of space in the truck and they brought all the supplies needed. They definitely know what they are doing! Efficient and careful with our belongings. No hidden fees. We were so happy thank you so much! read more

I won't lie, the only reasons I chose this company were they were the fastest to respond and the cheapest option. I was so pleased at the service, I had to come write this review. TJ and Sam were my two movers and they were so fast, I can't even begin to explain my elation. Granted, I had everything packed and waiting on the main floor, but (even in the rain) they moved my entire 1BR apartment in 1.5 hours. I will never rent a U-haul again for moving! Actually nothing negative to say about this company. The were very good at communicating too. James M. who was my initial contact called to go over the whole move and then I received a text message from the driver the day before and day of to confirm. They even arrived an hour early :) read more

ARS and team know how to move with care and upmost professionalism. TJ and his partner for the move were on time, very professional and moved all items with great care. I highly recommend ARS for your next move! Their prices are great too. I would use them again in a heartbeat! read more

They were on time, worked very hard, and stayed until the job was done. Overall we were very pleased. The movers were pretty quiet and to themselves--not overly friendly and not chatty--but they were there to do a job, not be personable. I don't have any complaints and I would probably hire them again. It's not as if we were enormously impressed, but there weren't any mistakes made, either. A decent enough moving company. read more

Very flexible and friendly service. Paid by the hour and movers were very fast. They worked so hard moving our things up 3 stories! They were kind and courteous. Wrapped goods and didn't break anything despite the long haul up the stairs with narrow doorways. Would recommend and will use again for next move. read more

Absolutely professional! They were on time and handled my furniture pieces with great care. Did not even mark up the walls. I am so impressed with these guys. Wish I could have given a bigger tip! read more

ARS Moving gave us 5 star service from start to finish. TJ the supervisor gave us a prompt and reasonable estimate and actually directed the loading of the van. James in the office was very accommodating with our changing schedule during the coronavirus pandemic. And the 2 movers drove 7 hours, arrived on time, and unloaded a 4 bedroom house in 2 hours. It's a great company that I heartily recommend. read more

ARS Movers made my move super easy. Their two man team came in and wrapped up all my furniture and safely moved it to my new place. They communicated with me beforehand when they were going to arrive and were very timely. Also their rate was very reasonable compared to other moving companies in the area. In the future I will definitely use ARS Movers again! read more

I would use them again. My team was hardworking and courteous during some very unfriendly weather conditions but no one complained. I was more than satisfied with their service. read more

I dread moving, but the two guys who came from ARS movers were super efficient and got us moved in no time. They were very communicative from booking to the move itself. The price was as quoted, with no hidden fees, as promised. Highly recommend! read more

Fair price, quick and professional. TJ and his partner did a great job with his move today!

TJ and his team are simply amazing! I would give them 10 stars if I could. We were so impressed with their professionalism, they were very careful with all of our furniture. We probably had 20,000 lbs of furniture, they guys moved it all very quickly, I was super impressed with their strength! They went above and beyond to make sure we were happy! Their prices beat everyone else! I would highly recommend them and absolutely use them again! read more

We used ARS to move yesterday and they made everything easy. They were right on time, and very efficient. TJ was the primary contact and communicated well. The guys were nice, patient and considerate. I would highly recommend ARS. Moving is always stressful but ARS minimized the stress. Thanks you. read more

No hidden charges as compared to others. Decent, professionals and very affordable. By far the most reasonable price I found to move from google. Do not hesitate to contact them. The stuff did not get stolen, damaged or lost. That is all I can say. Finding a right mover is hard, I know it. But, I strongly recommend ARS movers coz of their quick response and friendly employees read more

Great experience. This was not a typical move as we had three large houses worth of staging furniture that needed to be moved to storage. That means lots of big, heavy furniture (3 couches, 3 king beds, 4 dining room tables, etc) - and it was one of the hottest days of the year. The 4 movers, Kamil, Kaim, Carlos, and Orlando, showed up on time and worked like crazy to get the move done. When we left the houses, they had filled a truck and a half, leaving me absolutely convinced that our storage unit would be too small. They proved me wrong! These guys played furniture tetris and made everything fit perfectly. We will definitely be using them again for future moving needs. read more

We used ARS Movers to move furniture from Arlington to DC. Everything went perfectly according to plan - even got a call that the truck was on the way in the AM. The team was professional from start to finish and treated all our furniture like it was theirs! They were also very accommodating in arranging to take some extra items not on our original invoice. These guys go the extra mile and I plan to use ARS to move the remainder of our belongings later this year. Thanks for a wonderful move!! read more

I'm going to first start off with its a company that respects your property. They take care of your belongings and is very careful. Nice crew and all. If you need to move, going with these guys isn't bad at all, but make sure that before you leave from point A to point B that they type in your new address in their GPS before leaving just in case they couldn't follow you. Main reason for me saying that is because they stated before leaving they had a GPS and so we started taking off from point A. Hitting traffic they fall behind a few cars (6-8) and I took the exit to get onto 495 Baltimore. I've never taken 66 east to get into MD, but that's where I saw the truck go after I took the exit to 495. I'll give with traffic from Fairfax to Hyattsville, MD 45min-1hr. We left point A at 11:30am, I got at my new location at 12:10pm waited 12:30pm and contacted the driver. He stated he got lost and that we was on 495 and that he didn't know I took 495 to get to MD. I contacted the rep with the company at 12:45 and stated that they got lost, I understand I pay for time travel, but I don't feel that I need to pay for them getting lost when they have a GPS. With a company that's been open since 2010, and provide GPS, they should have known about traveling far and that there are chances of not being able to follow on the highway, hence they have GPS. Now with the driving from point A to point B taking only 45 min- 1hr. It is now 1:25pm so I have been waiting around 2hrs for them to GPS my new location. Now I just paid them 150 for sitting in their trucks. They need a better system, again I understand why I pay for travel time, but be honest about it and drive following GPS. Don't make your reputation bad. I've been trying to contact he rep Kami for 10 mins now and no response, hits straight to voicemail. read more

I relocated from east coast to west coast, and these guys provided best service that I've ever experienced. All my stuff came as it was originally packaged with zero damage. read more

ARS Movers did a great job with my move. I moved into a 4th floor apartment with no elevator on an extremely hot day and the guys got all my stuff moved, bed put together, nothing damaged. They did a fantastic job. I would definitely hire them again if I move in the future. read more

I was recommended ARS by a client. I was not aware of this company and could not find them in the Better Business Bureau. I was wary going with a completely unknown company but surprisingly fine. I dont use YELP until now, so I did not see the two bad reviews. I am sure if my wife saw this as she uses it often, she would have refused. Here was my experience as well as some tips for the next time: Scheduling - This can be done by the phone or email. Alex was the one I talked to on the phone and it went well. I was impressed because I called on a Friday, (Jan 2nd) to schedule a move on a Monday (Jan 5th) and they were able to schedule something for 9am-10am. The communication was good and I had constant emails and I was clear on what was needed. However, I could not get a hold of them at 8am or 9am that morning, but they did receive my emails. I also got a call from the movers telling me when they were going to arrive. (Something I will reconsider next time) These guys were based in Reston. Since I could not find them online or anything about them at the moment, I didnt know this when I scheduled the move. It took them a long time fighting the traffic to get to my apartment in Rockville. Make sure when you use these guys, you are in Virginia. I was ignorant of this fact and wondered what was taking so long. Five stars Arrival - It took a half hour more for the arrival due to the drive. Not sure if it was because these guys were slow or the traffic. I met them outside and was introduced to Rus King and Joe (from Kazakhstan). Quiet guys but asked questions when needed. I guess standard is two guys for a one bedrooom apartment. That is what I get for getting a out of state moving service. Luckily, it was 99 dollars for the arrival fee and I wasnt charged time at the beginning. We filled out the paperwork and they signed in at the time it was we walked in the apartment and I showed them everything they were going to move. I only fault these guys for not going over the extra packing materials and other charges in detail. Other than that, there was nothing wrong with the arrival. Four stars. Loading - Hint: When you have two guys moving from a painfully high rise apartment, it will take some time. Rus and Joe did the best they could under the conditions. There was no direct line to the elevator so it took some time to do it. It took five hours to move out. Because of the two guys, it took some time. This isnt harping on them. Rus and Joe didnt stop moving the items. They took great care of everything and they wrapped everything in boxes and tape, especially when I ran out of them. They worked through lunch and didnt take a break to eat. Great work ethic. They didnt want me to help at all. They can take apart furniture without instruction. Five Stars Driving to the new place - This took some time as well. Again, it was either traffic or bad directions. They used GPS to the new area but it took longer than I wanted. I am slightly grateful because the slow driving means that is a better chance or not breaking my things. I understood that it will take some time because it was 4:30-5:30pm and they were taking 495 from Rockville to Columbia. I get that. Traffic is a bitch in Maryland. Three stars. Unloading - Me and my wife helped with the move into the new place. It was much easier because it was only one flight of stairs. It took an hour and a half this time. Joe and Rus put all the furniture together that was needed. I was told if you pay in cash, there is a discount. I believe it is five percent. Total price was 732 dollars for the move, not including the tip. I only had one chip in my entertainment center. Nothing else was damaged to my knowledge. Five stars. Would I recommend them? Only if the client is in Virginia. This was a good move and worked out great. Joe was a nice guy but didnt speak English very well, but we did talk a bit and he asked questions and took directions well. Rus was a true professional. To make this move better, is to have someone go over all the extra and additional costs. Whether this is the guy on the phone when you start or the movers. Vehicle travel time is something that no one likes but this is a small state and the traffic here is abysmal and depressing. My advice is watch out for the hidden charges to make sure you are comfortable with them and make sure you note the start and stop time before and after you start. read more

I've used this company several times when I was moving furniture throughout the three years of going to UVA. I was assigned a 2 man crew, these guys were very professional and really cared about my stuff. They didn't complain once, even when they faced a great deal of stairs to move heavy furniture. I would reccomend this company to others. read more

They came on time and they did a good professional job. I took on hourly basis, they didn't wasted any time in shifting. I had no issues with the price. The guys who came over are good and they did a good job. I definitely will recommend them read more

Great company. Easy and simple! If you want stuff moved, they can help you out. No hassles and seamless.

Awful service, never use them. They were supposed to have packing materials, didn't bring anything except one small Dollie, had attitudes, threw boxes around & several things broke. They also told us they were done so we paid them for 2 full hours even though they left 45 min early, but then when we went back upstairs there was still a ton of stuff that needed to be moved. I called and emailed to discuss with the manager and no one returned my call. Awful experience all around. read more

This is a good company for moving. Friendly staff and i would recommend this company for moving.

I love American Relocation Service and have used them in the pass. ARS is very reasonable, responsible and well equip to handle any type of Move. When I hear someone in my networks looking for movers I will always refer ARS. Thanks ARS I will defiantly use your services again. read more

I am one of the people who doesn't, and sometimes forgets to, leave info for the next me looking at ratings. Listen! James was great. I had 4 guys moving a house to a house. I staged everything on the main floor for them to move except for my king-size bed, dresser and crib. They disassembled and reassembled the bed and crib (slightly loose but whatever). They were great!!! A lot of boxes and bags and big stuff to fill a 26' ft truck. Total 6hrs including 20-30 min drive to new house. I had everything as ready for them as possible (seen a rating of a guy saying different cost or something or being bombarded or something). I've already referred them! They are as solid as you think of. If you don't do "stuff" you don't know what their job is like. I think the did a great job even with scratches here and there but I don't care even though it's all new everything. All good dudes!! If you're trying to figure out who to go with for your movers, use Ars. We all have good days and bad days... read more

I recently moved with American Relocation. I have to say the movers were really great. They were honest, quick, friendly. My expensive furniture and glass has been wrapped up so good and no scratch has been left on it. The complimentary blankets and some packing materials were really usefull. This is by far the best moving experience i I've had I strongly recommend this company for people who want hustle free moving. 5 stars ! read more

I was extremely nervous with this move because it was my first new home purchase. I had waited a little longer than I should have to book a moving company and ideally wanted to book a five star moving company but ARS gave a great price quote; they were responsive and they answered all of my questions promptly prior to booking the move. The professionalism that they showed made me choose them for a moving company. I was able to ask James all of my questions and keep in touch with him prior to the move. On the day of the move TJ and his partner whose name started with an A showed up and were very pleasant and efficient at getting the job done. They explained everything and gave suggestions on how to make things better. I moved from a one bedroom to a four level town home and it was extremely hot that day. We tried to save them some time and effort by telling them they did not have to carry the boxes up to the 3rd and 4th levels but they were insistent on putting things where they should go. Despite the heat and the hard work, they were pleasant the entire time and made my move very smooth. I was the second move of the day; moving from DC to Maryland and was very concerned about the traffic but they arrived to the second location in a timely manner. I cannot say enough nice things about them. Lastly, I have huge dresser that was not made for city living but they managed to get it to the 3rd level and in place. They are super human and I appreciate all of their efforts. I would highly recommend them and give them a five start review! My best friend recently moved and warned me about damage to the walls and things but despite all of the levels and heavy items; they did not damage my walls. Thank you to ARS moving company but most of all to TJ and his partner "A" and James. You all made the moving part flow very well. read more

We hired 2 movers to help us move our stuff for our 2 bedroom condo. Both of the movers (sorry, forgot their names ) were on time -they were actually early , polite and fast. Really happy we went with ARS movers and would definitely recommend them to our friends. Not to mention , best price around this area . read more

They definitely provided white glove service. From the initial contact to the move the service was top notch. We moved around the Christmas holiday and they took extra care with our furniture, artwork, and home office equipment. The made a 2 stop move in 3 hours and the price was reasonable. Absolutely recommend them. read more

Best moving company! After calling around for quotes, we got the most reasonable estimate from ARS. Called 10 minutes before arrival and they arrived exactly on time. The movers were very efficient and organized. They also wrapped my furniture and was careful with everything. Nothing was damaged and even helped us disassemble and assemble our furniture as well. The guys worked really hard and we couldn't have asked for a better service. We will definitely be using ARS again! Highly recommended! read more

ARS was great. We booked the team of two with less than 24 hours notice and they showed up early, in matching shirts, and ready to work. Got the job of moving our furniturr and large medium and small boxes out of our pod into the right rooms in our home, put our bed together, and did it all with such a pleasant attitude. James, who booked us, might be the owner, was also the first mover I spoke to who seemed untrusted, friendly, and made me feel at home over the phone. Totally recommend! read more

Gave company detailed description of my moving needs, the company did not provide enough staff. I had to help the movers load and unload the truck and the move still took twice as long as expected and at twice the cost. The company refuses to allow me to speak to management to come to any resolution on the issue. I've contacted the company several times, not to receive a full refund but to have an honest conversation about the issue but was told "if the owner is interested he will call you back" and had the phone hung up on me. The moving guys were nice, but the company itself is not good to work with. read more

We used ARS Movers to move some heavy items and they did an excellent job! Their fee was reasonable, especially given the work they did and compared to competitors in the area. They were prompt, efficient, and friendly and were careful with our belongings. We will be using them for future moves. read more

These guys work fast. They outperformed a larger crew I had with someone else two years. They were on time and everything arrived safely in my short, local move. Oh, and they were the least expensive. read more

Great service overall! They arrived on time and were efficient. The price was excellent for the service. We had a "not to exceed" estimate in our budget and the final bill came in lower. Strongly recommend. I will contact them again for our next move. read more

Great job with a small but difficult move. Team of three did excellent work handling some difficult pieces of furniture across several flights of stairs without a single complaint. Great attitude and super customer service. Well done! read more

Talgat and an assistant showed up on time moved two sleeper sofas one sleeper loveseat and two couches to various floors within our home. They were courteous, and efficient. I would used them again and highly recommend them for your moving. read more
