As the lowest estimate, I was amazed at how thorough and positive he was, focused on customer service, keeping me informed during the whole job, cleaning up very nicely at the end, etc. It was a hard job, and he and a helper filled a massive trailer with all the pieces and vegetation, and drove it all away. I couldn't recommend Rick more highly. One note: Rick asked for full payment in advance to reserve a day and time, which made me a little leery, and he charges an extra 5% for credit card payment. But based on all the positive Yelp reviews, I went forward with it. I was very glad I did, and I would trust him again any time. I think it's part of how he makes the $$ side of things work with such reasonable costs, and I appreciate that.

All the other quotes I got were way too expensive to consider, but the Dudes saved me! Very reasonably-priced, friendly, easy to work with. Their service doesn't come with all the bells and whistles that more expensive moving companies have, it's more like having a buddy or two (or more) come help you move - or just completely take care of things for you while you sit on the sidelines. But that's exactly what I needed, and I will definitely be calling on their help again!

But I was still charged for his time! Then they ended up racing through our job and damaged several pieces of furniture. When I pointed out an obvious scratch and chip in the finish on my dining room table, they started making all sorts of excuses about how they didn't do it but it was obvious they did. I had eaten breakfast at that table that morning and it was perfect. They then continued to complain about how they didn't do the damage the rest of the time instead of focusing on the job. As we are moving boxes and unpacking, we have discovered multiple pieces of furniture that have been damaged and marred by their carelessness, including an irreplaceable dresser I inherited from my grandfather. We will never use this service again. We wish we had paid more and gotten real, responsible movers! We have continued to find damage as we unpack. These guys damaged almost every piece of furniture they touched. There are also gouges in our freshly painted walls. Help ignored our emails reporting this. We Look elsewhere!

The new one had been delivered the day before but the company did not set it up. I contacted GoGetters and they took my old one to the dump--and charged me just the $7 that the dump charged them--and then returned to remove the bed (mattress, foundation and frame) from their packaging, set up the frame, put the foundation and mattress on it, show me how to lock and unlock the wheels, place it where I wanted, then cut up the boxes and place them outside for recycling. The charge of $25 per hour per man (I had two men) and all of the work they did came to a mere $100. They were exactly on time, called before coming, and were efficient, hardworking, neat, polite, respectful, and thoroughly honest. It is sadly rare these days to come across such incredible help for a reasonable price. I give them my highest recommendation. The best thing about them is their range of services. You can bet I will be using them again and again.

All I can say is Wow and a big thank you to Burt and Patrick. I called on Friday afternoon for my…read moredaughter who attends Cal Poly. Securing her first apartment with friends, she was told that Friday that she had to pick up her apartment key because the property management firm was not open. That would have been fine had we not been in San Diego! After calling a notary from Yelp (who didn't get back to me), I tried Central. I initially called and spoke with Patrick and told him our situation...we needed someone to pick up the key from the property management office and then hold it for us to pick up on Saturday. After explaining what we were hoping to do, he said "sure thing we can do that." He referred me to Burt who was closer to SLO and I called and explained the situation to him. Even though this was a weird ask for a courier, both Burt and Patrick never made me feel like the job was too petty or small and, in fact, in a refreshingly human way, they responded that they could help. I paid Patrick at 1:00, texted Burt the firm's information, and by 2:00 he had picked up the key with the info (the firm closed at 4:00)! Burt told me to text him the next day (again a Saturday) when we were in Buellton. After stopping at Pea Soup Anderson's for lunch, I texted Burt to let him know we we're leaving. I hadn't checked my phone messages on the drive to Napomo (where Burt's office was) and all the way there I kept thinking will he be there. The entire situation was based on mutual trust. As we got to the office, I saw only one door wide open and there was Burt sitting at the desk. He looked at my daughter and said here's your key and a form you need to fill out with a big smile like a dad helping out. It was AWESOME!!! When I looked at my phone, there was Burt's text saying he was on his way. Thank you Burt and Patrick, you literally saved the day. If you are interested in actually working with human beings that are willing to help you find solutions to the crazy things that life brings, call them! Burt and Patrick you should think about advertising with Cal Poly SLO somehow...we can't be the only family that would have been locked out during move in.

I called these guys at 4:20pm on a Friday and told them they needed to deliver the shipment by 7:00pm that night in Hollywood. The tricky part was that the warehouse closed at 5:00pm so they needed to pick up the shipment within 40 minutes. Needless to say from the 5-star review, they succeeded! Not only did Alan text me after they picked up the shipment and again after they delivered (on time), he even texted me a photo of the boxes at the event. Such amazing service - I will definitely use them again!

This was a "half-move" -- we were moving from our temporary residence back into our home after a renovation, so we only had about a 15' U-Haul worth of stuff. This was just about perfect for Man with a Van. But the best part was the employees (I wish I had asked their names, but moving day left me scatterbrained) -- they were efficient, attentive, really went the extra effort in getting our stuff safely into our house, quickly disassembling a few pieces that were now too large to fit into our new doors (I got them out, and never thought there'd be such trouble getting them back in). I'd say combine that great service with the competitive pricing, and this is the company for your move assist/small move/hauling project. Just really great guys who, in my mind, made some magic happen on a really stressful day.

I got the feeling that no matter what we might need done, Alfredo would have had a solution, or have called someone who could help. Whether you ultimately work with Alfredo or not, I'd definitely at least take a bid from him on whatever you need getting done. I'm confident that he'll soon be in touch.
