Mario and his team have helped both my parents and I move a combined total of 6 times over the last 11 years or so. He and his team are excellent at what they do. Overall, he is quick to communicate (within one business day when asking to schedule). They have always showed up on time and worked quickly. Most importantly, they handle every item with care. Price is also always reasonable. Definitely recommend choosing MGB Relocations for your move - local or long distance! read more

Stay away! If you want broken things and workers fighting. These movers were not great. They were nice to us but They damaged my wall in the master bedroom moving stuff out. Pushed the door through the wall stopper and didn't even let us know. I tried to contact owner about the wall and them losing our hardware for our beds and he hasn't replied yet. Terrible customer service. I could hear the owner yelling at the movers on the phone as well terrible customer service On top of that they were a hour and half late when the promised they would be to our house by 7am. So our day took a lot longer as well. towards the end they spent more time cussing at each other and arguing then they did moving and we had to pay for the time. They were so unprofessional. Yelling at each other cussing in Spanish as if we didn't speak Spanish and didn't know what they were saying. We had to tell them to be quiet and stop before we had complaints. They brought a truck with a lift instead of a ramp - which takes twice as long to loan and unload. That's how they get you on the moving fee. Plus they charge 55$ gas fee. This company is so unprofessional and lacks customer service charged us 800$ and wouldn't even respond back about fixing our wall or paying for the cost to fix it nor did they reply about the hardware they lost. On top of that we have them a feee tv and we still were miss treated. I would not recommend this company. I don't know how they have good rating Bc we didn't experience any of these things. We move a lot for work and this is the worst experience with mover we have had. I would of paid more for better service and the owner to own up to his workers mistakes. This is not how a company is ran! There are so many options out there. Chose another one. Update. The owner got back to us and discount us for the mistakes and was very apologetic for the bad experience. Which was very nice of him. He also paid for the wall damage. read more

MGB Relocations - Movers Near Me - Downey, California

I made arrangements for part 1 of my 2 part move. I found this business on thumbtack and arrange for their services. MGB Mario and his team George and Oscar were friendly and very careful with my belongings. They packed the truck perfectly and transported my house to the mountains. When they opened the truck not one thing had shifted I was suprised because the the winding roads. They are a great team. Im booking them for part 2 of my move! read more

We hired MGB Relocations for a move that had us going from a house to a condo. We had sold our house but had not yet closed on our condo. So Mario and his team picked up and moved all of our stuff to a storage facility while we waited to close. The move from the house went great. They were very helpful in providing clothing boxes and were very efficient and professional. They took care with pictures and tvs, and made sure to wrap them properly so there would be no damage. They even moved a stained glass window which was very fragile, with no problems and even helped us remove our tvs from the mounts they were on, (one of which was very challenging). The MGB crew was great but Mario was the best! When our condo asked for an insc. cert. he was able to obtain it. When we needed extra storage time, they were very accommodating. When we finally had a move date into the condo, the team was on time and worked quickly but efficiently. They helped arrange furniture where we wanted it, put heavier pieces exactly where we asked and executed the move in with great precision. A week later when we realized there was one box of stuff missing, Mario was amazing to deal with. He did what you find very few companies do, he took responsibility for the lost box of goods and didn't at all blame us the customer. He was professional and honest and he paid for the items lost. This to me was something I feel sets MGB apart from the rest of the companies out there. They CARE! They care about their clients and Mario works tirelessly to make sure everything is moved to the clients satisfaction. He is a VERY stand up guy and MGB will be my only call the next time I need to move and I will definitely recommend them to any of my friends who need a mover. Thanks Team MGB!! read more

I'm truly disappointed in Mario. He said he was going to be here at a time to do an estimate and didn't show up for another 2.5 hours. It's sad when a referral isn't worth a penny. I would have understood if there was communication on his part. He didn't tell me he was busy working and would be late at any interval. I called him after waiting an hr and he said he'd show up 20 min later, ended up showing up after 30 minutes. I have never experienced such unprofessional behavior. I hope Mario learns from this and doesn't leave a potential customer waiting without proper communication. read more

We were moving from Rancho Mirage to Colorado and Mario and his crew did a great job! We did have an issue with a TV that had some minor damage, but Mario assured us he would take care of it and he did. He is a master at packing items to ensure everything fits and that items are nicely wrapped to prevent damage. read more

Such a great experience with this company! We were moving from a townhouse to a home during the pandemic while my husband was working. I was terrified to be doing this by myself with a toddler and these guys made it so easy! I didn't have to do anything. They were great and patient with my son running around them. Then rebuild everything and arranged the rooms perfectly. Would highly recommend! read more

We arranged the moving with MGB Relocations and worked with Mario and his team. First of all, moving is a headache, especially you have kids and normal day work to take care of. Mario provides full service moving more than just human labor. He helps to arrange things from the old place to the new place exactly the way you want it. Without spending another 3-4 hours to put stuff back to it supposes to be. Mario and his fellows know what you want. I really appreciate that we chose him in the first place. Secondly, his team is super friendly. If you are trying to hire somebody who is professional. This is your choice. Lastly, if you are looking for peace of mind, they are the guys. We spent the whole day outside taking care of the kids when Mario and his team completed the job without a doubt. Plus, they are soooo handy. They helped me to connect my washer/dryer from my new condo to an old house and also help with hanging my TV mount. Everything works out professionally. Thank you! read more

Very good service pricing and professional ex beacons I say if you try these guys in your next move then you'll never go to the others. Beware any mega moves will need a larger truck or 2. read more

To wait till 36 hours before the move and increase the price to almost double the price which we had shaken hands on and agreed to, is UNETHICAL. We contacted this company and the owner gladly came to do an inspection/evaluation of the home and all the things we were moving, after which he gave us a price of $1,795 FLAT RATE with NO OTHER CHARGES. The rate included the movers loading the 26 foot truck and the transportation. We later considered placing our belongings in storage while we waited for the home to be ready, and for that he said the total cost of loading, unloading at storage and then re-loading to for move would increase the price to $2,595 (he specified that the rate would not include the storage facility fee which we would have gladly paid for. We told him we would consider the alternative but could not decide because we needed to hear from our realtor regarding the date the home would be ready, and we promised to advise him accordingly. This is a number we would later regret ever considering because he fixated on it was determined to get that amount from us one way or another. In the end, our home was ready on time and so we informed the mover that we would not be needing the storage option as the house was ready. We later advised him that our home was going to be ready on time therefor we no longer needed to keep things in storage while we waited for the house to be ready. I told him the date of the move and asked to confirm the booking, to which he replied that the price had changed $1,795 to $2,695. He said "the reason was that we had a lot of stuff" This man gave us a price of $1,795 after seeing and measuring furniture length/size and estimating the size of truck he would need, after which he gave us a price which we all agreed to. To wait till 36 hours before the move and increase the price to almost double the price which we had shaken hands on and agreed to, is UNETHICAL. read more

I interviewed about 10 movers and ended up choosing Mario and MGB and I am totally happy. These are good people and hard workers. A very reasonable price too but even more important to me is NOTHING GOT DAMAGED. They even helped me sort out my storage area. I would use them again except I hope I never have to move. You'll be well taken care of by this crew. read more

I heard about MGB from a friend at work and was told his friend had a great experience so We hired MGB to help us move to our new home an hour away and had a great experience. They were such hard workers and really helped us with our move. I would definitely recommend them. The price is fair and well worth it. I would definitely use them again . Thank you guys read more

The best experience we've had with a moving company. They were on time, quick and friendly. They made our move so smooth and finished faster than we expected. I would recommend MGB to anyone looking for a reliable and stress free moving company. read more

Great job! Oscar and George went the extra mile to help us move a piano to the local VA donation center. We appreciate all their efforts. They were pleasant, fast, on time and careful guys too! The quote we were given was exactly what we paid - no surprises. Good communication before and on the day of the move. Everything was moved without a scratch. We highly recommend MGB Relocations. read more

This review is long overdue. Mario helped me move in March! His prices are amazing and they are such hard workers! It felt weird to me not having to do anything! I've never hired movers before and now I know it's the only way to go! I'd hire these guys again in a heartbeat read more

Mario and his crew did a fabulous job in moving my home of 26 years. Mario, Oscar, and George, were all so professional. Mario answered all my questions. I had never used professional movers before, so i went off of reviews. His price was very reasonable. He was right on with the size of truck. took 4 hrs. to pack. delivery the next day. took 3 and a half to unpack, and then to a storage location. If i ever move again, they would be the ones that i hire! I asked him to show up at 6 am on day of move and he was there at 6 am and gone by 10 am! wow! and nothing was broken or damaged. great job, mario! read more

We moved houses and decided to call MGB Relocations. They were very professional. Came on time. Handled all of our equipment with care. Definitely Reccomend them to my friends. read more

Mario n Oscar were great. Super friendly, hard working. Went above n beyond. Great prices n made the move of items simple n fast. Keeping their information for future and to refer them to friends. Thanks again guys. read more

Mgb relocations went above and beyond my moving standards. They took such well care of all my things. I had some things that I thought I would have to leave back. But they were able to get them down from my balcony. I don't know how they did it but they did. It shows that these guys have great team work and work very well together. You can't go wrong by hiring these expert movers. 100% recommend this company. Thank you so so much guys. Your amazing at what you do. read more

These guys made my move so easy. They were friendly, professional & did a great job loading my boxes & packing my bigger furniture. They used plastic wrap to secure drawers, blankets to protect breakables & they even wrapped the hanging clothes in the closet. They worked so hard to get the job done quickly & painlessly. I highly recommend them! read more

Our relocation was a little complicated: we wanted to move some of the office furniture into our apartment, and some into a storage unit. I cast a wide net searching for various movers and moving companies in LA. We've had both positive and negative experiences, but I wanted someone great! Mario responded immediately to my query on Thumbtack (I think you can also reach out directly to them). Even though it was late at night (this guy is such a hard worker!), he responded to ALL my questions within an hour and accommodated all our specificities. Leading up to the move, Mario was in communication with us, and agreed us to help us pack items as well, even though we requested it last minute. On the day of our move, Mario and two other movers showed up to our office right on time. They packed all our supplies - from books to office equipment to furniture. We've used other movers before, and were delighted to see that Mario and his team move FAST..the fastest I've seen... and tried to get everything done in the least amount of time as possible. We had big pieces of glass and valuable wooden furniture. For the first time using a mover...NOTHING was damaged! They were all so nice and such hard workers. It only took them 3-4 hours to pack up the office and move all the furniture into the truck. By then it was around 2:30 and almost traffic hour. They hadn't eaten lunch so we got them some subs from Jersey Mikes (it's always nice to feed your movers and get them drinks and/or snacks! It's hard labor!!) but instead of pausing to eat lunch and get stuck in traffic, they ate on their drive over and made it to our apartment BEFORE we got there! For people who haven't used movers, this is a BIG deal. It means they tried hard to get to our place as efficiently as possible. I can't recommend these guys enough. They are extremely trustworthy, kind, and I've never had a better moving experience. HIRE THEM!!!!!! read more

Mario and his team were great during my move from Orange County to the San Francisco Bay Area. They were super speedy in the move process, and everything made it to my new house in perfect condition. They brought all necessary materials for protecting furniture as well. The only thing I would point out is that they arrived later than expected both days of the move - but they made up for it in efficiency. For the price, I would definitely recommend Mario! read more

Excellent. Highly recommended. The owner and his team were professional fast and went beyond my expectations I had interviewed seven other movers before and each one had added on charges in case there were stairs or if something had to be taken apart and put together not sure with this company also the other companies charged an extra percentage for using a credit card not Through with this company I cannot strongly enough advise you to use them they are excellent read more

Working with Mario was great! They took very good care of all my things. They were super friendly and listened to all of my concerns, addressing them one by one. They worked very hard and accomplished a lot of work in a very short period. The prices were great, and I would absolutely use Mario again if I were to need movers in the future. read more

I had Juan, Anthony & Oscar for my move from Long Beach to San Diego. The move went fast, smooth and efficient. The guys were super helpful and very accommodating. I will use them again in the future if I need to move. The owner, Mario was also spectacular in answering my many questions, booking my date and confirming in advance. read more

Mario and Erik! What a team! I admit when it comes to any service whether it's automotive or food, I can seem like a micromanager. Their attention to detail and consideration for my items were top notch. They assured me I had nothing to worry about. Yeah they were right! It was a short notice move from San Diego to Long Beach, but they accommodated to my hectic schedule during the weekday. It was a long move and the price was bit more than I expected. You can't put a price on quality however. Definitely a great experience and recommended them to friends as well as family too! read more

This company helped my family out tremendously! The workers were very helpful & polite. Their rates are very reasonable! I definitely would call this business to do another move in the near future. read more

These guys are excellent. Professional, arrive on time, work hard and fast. They ask you before making a decision with your stuff. Owner starts off the job on arrival, then the crew takes it form there. Their pricing is excellent for the service you receive. Not a scratch or ding on anything, and break down and re-assembly of items is done fast and well. Great communication by owner and crew. Don't bother with any other movers- no one can beat MGB's service and price. Thanks again guys! read more

Well, considering that moving itself is such a stress. I was Skeptical about hiring someone from unknown website such as thumbtack. But Mario's attitude from quote till actual servie day and delivery day made me feel so much comfortable that its hard for me to recall in any of my other experiences other than buying and switching to Iphone. The quote was awesome beating the market and on the day of packing Mario and his crew showed up, very professional and efficent.. On the day of delivery he and his crew went over and above to ensure my stuff comes in my new home safely without any scratch. They were very particular about ensuring everything comes as is.. Awesome work and i will use them again in my future moves !! read more

The worst customer service! I'm only rating them 1 star because I have no other choice......they broke one of our tv's and don't want to replace it....spoke to the owner and said he wasn't going to do nothing about it and hung up on me! Don't even bother trying to hire these guys read more

I wanted to write a good review. I liked Mario and his guys and they worked hard to make the move. Everything worked out, with a couple of broken glasses and serving pieces. (they do not wrap all items individually, but use placemats, hand towels etc.) We know things get broken in moves, but they did not pack our artwork in boxes or even bubble wrap and we suffered damages to 4 pieces, including frame damage to custom framed work and broken glass. That could have been worked out and our understanding on the agreement was there was insurance, but after several emails and a text I never heard a word from Mario. It's been 3 weeks and I've given him the chance to communicate, but have been ignored. That's really bad business in my book. I'd love to change this review and maybe this will motivate him to respond to me. read more

I'm so extremely happy I hired these guys! Not only were they very reasonably priced but they were on time, worked hard, friendly, and super careful with my belongings making sure to wrap and pad everything and loading the truck properly as to not damage anything. They confirmed my move the night before & showed up at the exact time they were scheduled then got right to work, they even told me a few times not to worry about trying to help & to sit back and relax. They never took a break the whole time and the 3 of them worked very well together. I'm 5 months pregnant and so stressed about moving and finding the right company...I was not disappointed and would totally recommend this company, even my friend who was keeping me company wanted their info in case he ever moves again! After they were done they even offered to take out the empty boxes to the trash I had unpacked already & then showed me all inside the moving truck so I was confident nothing was left behind! Such a good experience. A great big Thank you to Mario & his crew! read more

If there were 6 stars, no, 10 stars, I would give this company every single one! I was so pleased with Mario & his crew. They were VERY reasonable, very professional & I will tell everyone I know about their wonderful service! Thank you MGB!!!!! read more

I called these guys to help me move this weekend since they had great reviews. Well sorry to say that it was prob the worst moving experience I've had. The truck had a hydraulic lift gate which takes so long to load and unload. A truck with a ramp is twice as fast. I guess since we pay them per hour it benefits them. They arrived 2 hours late. The whole time they were moving things they yelled at each there and cursed every 5 minutes. Cursed in Spanish and English. They didn't wrap our furniture. Some of our stuff has scratches and dents. They lost our screw to our bed. They also made a hole in our wall and now we have to pay our landlord to fix it. We didn't see the whole till now and when we told the owner about it he never returned our messages or text. My advise pay real professional to help you move these guys are low budget careless movers. Oh by the way they dress like hobos read more

I've used them in different times, ones from LA to San Diego. Had a great service and they got there early so we had them set up bed, and everything that we couldn't do. They where awesome... The other time I used them was from San Diego to Las Vegas. It was a good deal compare to the all the other companies I was looking at. I highly recommend them!! read more

Mario n his crew are great mover they did a professional job no damage on anything very professional wrap took good care of my stuff very quick great prices in town will use again read more

I requested 3 guys and they where very good workers. But, my furniture was damaged. My dinning room table's leg was broken and the guy try to say it was broken, which was a lie, my table was scratched they did not cover my furnishing protecting them from possible damage. My refrigerator was scratched along with pieces of my bedroom furnishing. They arrived at 9:06 instead of 8:00 and as saying they arrived at 8:35am which was false. When you're moving people it is very important to be upfront and honest, it goes a long way. Because of the damage to my furniture and the lie I would never use them again and nor will I recommend them to any one. I wish them the best. In placing my reservation with Mario, he was very nice but I paid a nice penny for there services and I got damaged furniture Not Cool at all............ read more

If you need a moving service, these are your go to guys! They were very responsive in setting up the appointment and being on time. The two gentlemen, Marco and Eric, who actually came and moved us, were not only professional, but super friendly and hard workers. They completed our move so quickly and confidently, that me and my hubby were both blown away. Our family was at our apartment waiting for us and the movers, and they were all so impressed with how amazing these two were! Thanks to you both for making this move as painless as could be! read more

After our scheduled movers flaked on us early this morning, I was incredibly upset. Needing to get my mother who is getting up there in age and handicapped, I needed to head to Yelp to get some replacement movers. First one I clicked was this business and immediately called. Mario was quick to answer, I gave him 5 minutes to call me back with availability. He called back, asked if they can come in a few hours and I immediately said yes. Erik and Erik, or Erik squared came to our rescue and helped my husband and I get all the heavy items in my mom's new apartment, and even helped take items to storage nearby. Took a while because there was a lot, but worth every penny to alleviate our stresses and backs. Got a really great deal and these guys were super awesome as well as personable and that counts a lot considering the amount of time we spent together. Thanks so much, definitely recommend read more

Mario and crew did a fantatstic job moving my belongings out of state. Not only did they pack everything securily, but they were extremely efficient in how they organized the truck since they had to make two stops to unload. I would highly recommend their services for either a local or a long hual move. Thanks to all! read more
