Great company and hardworking team.

Professional and personal. Definitely made our move across country a pleasant experience. Dependable, timely and reliable. Would definitely recommend them.

A gouge from the move
Deborah A.

I met with Keith and explained I needed movers to move our furniture. We were not moving far and would be able to move with the assistance of my son and daughter in law. When the guys arrived they started with my parents butcher block table (they have passed). Ten feet in the table broke into 2 pieces. Needless to say, I was extremely disappointed in the service.

Back in DEC 2021, Mentors/Smoothmove delivered my new sofa set to my home and the movers carelessly bumped the corner leg of the sofa and hit the surface corner of my new concrete dining table. The new dining table is now ruined since the damage is completely visible. The only thing I heard in that second besides the metal hitting concrete was "oops" coming from that mover. After proper recording of the damage on the BOL/Delivery form, you would think the company would compensate appropriately. Long story short, the company apologized, but made me go through their insurance provider for the claim which I found out was denied because they chose to argue it was MY FAULT!!! The movers that they use are suspect. The customer service is very poor, and if there are any issues that arise, good luck having them trying to resolve it. It is now April and taking them to court is my last option. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

Reggie and JJ were on time for our 8 am move. They were friendly, helpful polite and efficient. The entire experience from scheduling to unloading was fast and I can recommend Mentors Moving without hesitation.

This is where they stole All the pain medication & Cancer related medication from!

Do not recommend - cut corners, break things, not well organized. Find another company for your move.

Five stars for Fit Movers! Keon and Rashawn were outstanding. They drove two and a half hours from…read moreBakersfield to Redondo Beach and gave us true white-glove service. They were personable, professional, incredibly strong, and so careful with our furniture. They made the whole experience easy and enjoyable, and it was a pleasure having them in our home. We couldn't be happier and would recommend them to anyone looking for excellent movers. Thank you, Keon and Rashawn!

There are some experiences in life where you know almost immediately that you made the right…read morechoice. Choosing Fit Movers was one of those decisions for us. From my very first phone call, I knew there was something special about this company. Connie, the secretary, was actually the main reason I chose Fit Movers. Her warmth, kindness, and genuine helpfulness came through immediately. She made me feel like we mattered before we had even hired the company. I remember getting off the phone and thinking, This is the company I want moving our home. And then came moving day. At exactly 9:00 AM, Anthony, Nick, and Jovantay showed up ready to work. I was immediately impressed by their energy and positive attitudes. They were hardworking, friendly, and so easy to talk to. They came in smiling, singing, laughing, and genuinely excited to do the best job possible. Honestly, I found myself relaxing because I knew our belongings--and our home--were in good hands. Then came the moment when we realized I had not done a very good job with our inventory. What we thought was going to be one job suddenly looked like it was going to take at least twice as long as originally estimated. I was prepared for frustration. Instead, these guys basically said, "No big deal. We've got this." And they did. I arrived at our new home in Pine Mountain Club around 8:00 PM, expecting everyone to be long gone. Instead, I pulled up and couldn't believe what I saw. THEY WERE STILL THERE. After an incredibly long day, Anthony, Nick, and Jovantay were still working. Still smiling. Still kind. Still doing their jobs with the same positive attitude they had at 9:00 that morning. THEY STAYED UNTIL 11:00PM, YA'LL! I honestly cannot begin to express how much that meant to me. Moving your entire life is emotional. There are moments of excitement, exhaustion, stress, and uncertainty all mixed together. Leaving one home and starting another is a big deal. And on a day that could have easily become overwhelming, these three young men brought something I will always remember: kindness, patience, hard work, and joy. They didn't make us feel like our unexpected extra work was a problem. They didn't complain. They didn't make us feel like we were asking too much. They simply kept going--with a smile, a song, and even a dance. I am incredibly grateful to Anthony, Nick, and Jovantay, and to Connie and the entire Fit Movers team. Thank you for not just moving our belongings, but for helping us make it through one of the biggest and most stressful days of our lives with a little more laughter and a lot less worry. You reminded us that sometimes it's the people you meet along the way who make a new beginning feel even more special. Fit Movers didn't just move our house. They helped us move into the next chapter of our lives--and they did it with heart. I don't want to fail to mention the VALUE! Even with the added hours, they still underbid the nearest competitor! I would recommend this company without hesitation. If you're looking for movers who are hardworking, dependable, kind, and genuinely care about their customers, call Fit Movers. You will be so glad you did.

I recently lost my husband and just couldn't handle being in my townhouse anymore then my Mom was…read morediagnosed with Parkinson's Disease - she's severely crippled and can no longer live on her own, so I needed to move her in with me at my new home. My husband taught me to research before paying for anything, so that's what I did - I made several calls and had movers come to give me their quote, but I needed help with so much due to my bad Back and Fibromyalgia, and I kept getting told that these different movers were limited in what they could do for me, so I would end up paying different people to come do all that I was asking to be done... ugh!! I finally came across Estrada Co. Elite Servicemen - Steve Estrada was a true "God Sent"... I needed my second car driven from Bakersfield to my new home in Taft, my new home didn't come with a Refrigerator, Washer/Dryer and I needed a Kitchen table, so I needed these items picked up from different sellers, I needed my guinea pigs moved in their cage, I also needed my stereo system, disassembled and put back together at my new home, I needed my Vizio TV "which is super heavy" unmounted and remounted at my new home, I needed my two heavy couches taken apart and reassembled, I needed help with all of my packed boxes to be unloaded and brought into my new home then finally I needed all of my Mom's heavy furniture moved from her place in Bakersfield to Taft as well as my Mom's sliding glass dogie door window insert removed from my Mom's place and put into my new home's sliding glass door. With all of my above mentioned moving needs, Steve gave me an above and beyond fair quote and told me he would show up the day before the move to go to the different seller locations to pick up the Refrigerator, Washer/Dryer and Kitchen Table and have one of his men drive my second car... he did this for me and gave me advice on what I needed to buy for gas dryer... I don't know of any mover who would care enough to give any advice. I can honestly say that Steve saved me hundreds of dollars by meeting all of my moving needs, so I didn't have to pay different people to do what needed to be done. I also want to mention that Steve managed to move my stuff "including my guinea pigs in their cage" securely in his truck, as well as my Mom's stuff and assemble everything back together at my new home, mounted my Vizio TV, put together my Mom's heavy sleep number bed all without damaging anything - that truly surprised me as I figured with all that needed to be moved there was bound to be something that would get damaged, but there wasn't... he even helped me to patch the nail holes up at my townhouse. Oh, did I mention that Steve even fixed some things that I didn't know how to fix at my new home... that wasn't included in his quote - it just goes to show that customer satisfaction is what Steve's "Estrada Co. Elite Servicemen" is all about. Keep up the great work and human kindness Steve!! If you are looking for a moving company that goes above and beyond the services that a "typical" moving company will do, then go with this moving company Estrada Co. Elite Servicemen.

I was waiting for escrow to close and had to change my date three times and they were so flexible and kind about it. The boys who did all the heavy lifting were amazing, friendly, and very careful with all my possessions. I don't know how I would've gotten this done without them. Honestly, I will never try to move on my own again. I will always call them back to see me through it. I have not one bad thing to say about my experience with Cargo Pro's. They are worth every penny for their services.

I contacted these movers to help move my sister out of my late mother's home. I explained my Mom…read morehad a reverse mortgage, my sister was evicted but had no advance warning because they posted the notice on the garage and as she was recovering from two broken ankles she never saw the notice. I also explained that nothing was packed and we had exactly eight hours to get in and out with her belongings. That people would be there packing and my sister would direct them what to move. We would have a Uhaul in the driveway and just needed movers to fill the Uhaul. Moving day came and three men showed up. The owner, who I made the plans with was not present. The men seemed to grumble among themselves that the garage was dirty. Most of the stuff boxed in the garage had been there a few years. They started moving some of the boxes off of the garage shelves. Still grumbling. One man said "We are used to working for rich people." This was repeated more than once. It was about an hour and fifteen minutes in and the men said their boss wanted me to call him. The owner said the men did not want to work in this dusty environment. I asked if they could at least get the nine pieces of furniture from in the house as we were on a time crunch. They said they would. When I asked the men to go in to the house and get the furniture they said they were already off the clock. It had been one hour and twenty minutes at this time. They left, leaving me to hassle to get one of the young men who had came to help to call some of his friends. I get that they guys decided they did not want to do the job. What I do not get and why this is a low review is that the owner still charged me a total of $956.21. The original $100 plus $856.21 after his men walked off the job after one hour and twenty minutes. Keeping in mind most of that time they spent grumbling and not really doing anything. Are you kidding me? I messaged the owner multiple times saying why are you charging my credit card this amount when you did not do the job we hired you for. They walked off the job, I should not be paying. Additionally, when I got an email invoice they actually charged me for a truck. I had my own truck. He added a charge for providing a truck. I sent multiple emails and texts and received no answer. Because of this, and me having to scramble to find other help we were not able to get all of the belongings that we wanted to recover in the eight hour window that the mortgage company gave us to get our belongings. AND he charged me $956.21 for a job they did not fulfill. I finally filed a dispute with my credit card. I disputed all but $285.41 which was the prorated charge for the hour and twenty minutes. I figured I owed for that but not for the rest. The dishonesty shown here was crazy. Almost $1000 they charged me for not doing the job! I ended up scrambling to find young men to help who I ended up paying cash even after this company charged me $956.21. My credit card company awarded my dispute and was given a refund of $670.80. I would not have received this without filing a dispute. I rarely leave a poor review. I would not have left a poor review based solely on the men walking off the job, but for them to walk off the job AND still charge me $956.21 and to see that he had tried to charge me for a truck that they did not provide?? Crazy. I would NOT recommend this company. Thank God I have a great credit card company who honored my dispute.
