Great service. I highly recommend Willie Jay's moving service to anyone looking to get the most out of the experience of moving.

This is the email I got today. His phone is now on but he's not answering any texts or phone calls Dear Valued Customers, We hope you're doing well.

I have used Willie Jays 4 times! They are on time and complete the job as promised. Any issues? Isaiah will make it right. One move from Santa Monica to Murrieta, one move from Wildomar to Murrieta, another two moves from Murrieta to Menifee. So you see long or short distance these are the guys I'm calling. If I need to move again I am definitely calling Willie jays!! read more

Great service, highly recommend! Extremely friendly, easygoing, hardworking and professional! We had a very large move, a lot of packing, heavy furniture, fragile items, and items that needed to get disassembled and reassembled, everything went really smoothly and we couldn't be more pleased! The overall process took two days, which is faster than expected so we were extremely happy and thankful! Everyone was very friendly and hard working, we were really happy and impressed! They provided the truck and did all of the packing and labor, which allowed us to focus on other things. We put a lot of time into finding the best company for our move and these were the guys for the job, great competitive price and A+ service! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

I wanted to give this guy a chance because he was highly recommended by people close to me. However, we were scammed out of a deposit of $1197.49. Isaiah who is the owner. Came to our home to give us a quote, walk us through the process of how the move was going to go. Took pictures of all of our belongings and let us know his team would be there next day at 7:30am. As the evening progressed and into the next morning, the time changed from 730 to 9 or 9:30 AM. Come 9 o'clock. I still hadn't heard anything then the time changed again to maybe noon. At this point we needed to be moving out. So I asked him to just please refund my deposit and we would make other arrangements. After along periods of no response we were able to secure a different moving company which I will give five stars to for coming in last minute to pick up Willie Jay's screwup. I gave him all weekend to refund my deposit. I asked nicely several times, and still no response. I do not recommend you use this company. SCAMMER!!! read more

WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND Isaiah the owner is a smart, professional young businessman. He was incredibly attentive to us prior the move checking on our progress 3 times in person (!) and being on hand during the entire move, advising and being all round awesome during the whole experience. We are retired and moved to a new build. He made it very smooth. We had confidence in him the first time we met him. A great guy and his crew was wonderful polite friendly and strong. All were obviously experienced. If you have to move get reliable honest help Willie Jay seriously. read more

Willie Jay's Moving is the most unprofessional moving company out there. He was 6 hours late to move my 82 year old grandmother with no call nor a valid reason why, and when we did show up he moved all the boxes into the garage and not the rooms they are supposed to be in, and he dodges calls and hasn't not moved the boxes where they go, still. read more

I absolutely hate writing bad reviews but unfortunately, the one-star review above is deserved. I was referred to Willie Jay's Moving by neighbors who liked their services. I called and obtained a quote based on the contents and square footage of my current home. After looking over the quote, I asked that he (Isaiah) utilize the higher quoted hours because we have a full library of books. We agreed on the price, date, time and I paid the $200 deposit. As we approached moving day I encountered a snag on my end and needed to change the date. I contacted Isaiah and adjusted the contract accordingly without issue. We agreed on the new date, same price and I thought we were all set. The big day arrives and 4 movers show up with a 26 foot truck but tell me there is no safe place for them to park. I indicate that most trucks park right outside the garage but Isaiah informed me that was not a legal parking space. (Whenever I've moved in the past and space needed to be dedicated to the truck the movers reserved it with the city) I asked what he wanted me to do and he asked to come back the following day and for our family to park our vehicle outside the garage to block off space. Not ideal, but I can accommodate the change to keep everyone safe. Ooooookay.... so we move our SUV & get a friend to park their car at our house on the street taking up nearly all the legal space in hopes the truck will fit. Wake up on the new moving day with the whole street empty AND THEY NEVER SHOWED. Called, sent text messages, left voice-mail messages, and had my spouse call..... they completely abandoned our move with no notice. Needless to say, save yourself the hassle and find a more professional moving company. Willie Jay's is trash on steroids. read more

Isaiah and Alex were amazing and I would definitely recommend Willie Jay's Moving Services. Communication was great and they were very responsive with all of my inquiries. Isaiah and all of his staff were friendly and professional. When it came to the job, they were quick and efficient. My nerves were put at ease as I saw the care and concern they put towards my belongings. A nice plus, was to discover they were a locally owned and operated business. Thanks again Isaiah you made this experience a good one. read more

Good moving company. Performed well and were professional. Good price for the work and timely.

Isaiah was accommodating with moving my elderly father. He met every one of our requests and altered plans with complete professionalism. The crew was excellent as well. Would use them again for sure. Great job. E.Chino read more

I was EXTREMELY disappointed with this company. I ultimately had to cancel our move and request a refund. The owner of the company, Isaiah Johnson, never processed and returned my payment. He stopped returning phone calls and texts after telling my husband and I to give him 7-10 days to even process the request because he was working on an $20,000 job. Once reading reviews on his company, we are finding out that his company is a scam, his license has been revoked, and this a continual pattern. I am now in the process of filing a lawsuit against the company to obtain my payment. As well as contacting the police to file a report with them as well. read more

We hit a few snags along the way but the owner, Isaiah, went above and beyond to help and get me back on track. From the first conversation, he was very communicative and responsive. Aaron also helped with my move, and it was completed very quickly but with the utmost care. This review is a reflection of the professionalism and hard work from these two men. read more

Shame on me for not reading your Yelp reviews before hiring you. Nonetheless, thanks for leaving me high and dry today after I did my part as a customer and received your auto confirmation email that we were good for today. But when it came time to do your part--no call, no text, no show, no apology as I type this review, i.e., giving you more than 12 hours to reach out. What's even more interesting, all of your listed business numbers have now been disconnected / not in service / the line rings then the call gets disconnected. God was on my side and I was able to find a moving company to help me out at the 11th hour. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. read more

I don't often write reviews but the exemplary service I experienced with Willie Jay's Moving, certainly calls for one. The owner/operator is a young entrepreneur with his head squarely situated on his shoulders. He hires good people, mostly people he went to college with or good friends. I immediately noticed how well they communicate with each other and work as a team. They took extreme care with my fragile items as well as items of sentimental value. He & his crew were also incredibly respectful. It's also worth mentioning, the owner/operator was smart enough to hire a young woman in this typically male dominated industry. She held her own and then some, was 100% respected by her male counterparts as an equal and was the owner's second in command. This was refreshing to see. They all came prepared to do the job they were hired for and despite the unyielding heat, they made quick work of my move. If you're considering a move in the future, I highly recommend you hire Willie Jay's Moving. I know I will. Bill G. read more

Willie Jay's was a huge help for me! After coming home from a deployment and having to move myself in was so stressful. Isaiah and his team, knocked my move out within a few hours and I was able to breathe. I highly recommend Willie Jay's Moving Services!!!! read more

Not properly insured and ruined thousands of dollars worth of furniture and electronics and refuses to be accountable even after going through the courts. Be careful with this moving company. read more

THIS COMPANY IS A COMPLETE SCAM DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR SERVICE.. I had a friend who was looking for a job and had a application on indeed the owner Isiah reached out and give him and me a job in late February and had us come in the following day we worked a couple jobs for him one of my days a 14 hour shift and too this day haven't received any payment and was completely ghosted ive reached out several times and been left with excuses there was also many cases of sketchy business going on in the short week we worked hopefully you guys see all the countless reviews of disservice from this company and keep your money read more

The service was great! I recommend these guys. Young and motivated to start their business! They are easy to book but their follow up is a little weak to confirm that they'll be there. I think they're still trying to figure that part out hence the 4/5. Other than that I recommend them for their moving services. We got a flat rate of $700 including 26 ft truck for until the job was done. We had a 10 x 30 storage filled with furniture to move to a whole house. Heavy items include couches, mattress, bookshelves, tables, washer/dryer... they moved our furniture to the respective places in the house. They worked diligently and it was during the California Heat wave. I would hire them again! Message me if you have any questions about their service or doubts. read more

Willie Jay's Moving Services - Playing Tetris - Movers Near Me

See all

This moving company is a SCAM. Isaiah, the owner, was initially prompt in his correspondence, scheduled our move-out date, and took our almost $700 deposit. Most of the reviews online were 5-stars, so thought this was a reputable company. However, he flaked on two scheduled home walk-throughs, stopped responding to our calls and text messages, and made excuses via text as to why he couldn't answer the phone. We have filled complaints with the BBB, BHGS, and FMCSA's National Consumer Complaint Database. After realizing his company was a scam, we found out his license was revoked and his business addresses are a U-haul storage facility and his personal residence. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Willie Jay's. We had originally hired a different but found out they only accepted cash two days before we were set to move. I scrambled to find a place that would have availability on short notice. I googled and Willie's was the second one to pop up but Isaiah answered immediately and was the first one to treat me like a friend just wanting to help someone out. Not only did he squeeze us into his schedule but he matched the quote from our original company. On top of that, he was incredibly understanding when our new apartment called and said our move in was delayed and we couldn't move until Tuesday. AJ, Mack, and Jeff showed up right on time and ready to go on the day of our move. They even brought the tools and took apart my bed frame I was having trouble with. These men are freaking amazing. I can't even imagine the actual number of times they had to go up and down those stairs carrying a heavy couch, too many boxes of my heavy books, every kitchen gadget imaginable, and a huge king sized bed. This moved wouldn't have happened without them. When we showed up to our new places, Isaiah showed up to check on everything and make sure it was running smoothly and then jumped in along with the others to get everything done. If you hire this company, they will treat you like family. They will make sure your items are treated with care. They will put all the boxes in the rooms they belong in. If you need it, they will help you take apart and put together your furniture. Moving is stressful enough. HIRE THESE GUYS to make your move a lot less stressful than it needs to be!! read more

I was in need of a moving service. Called miday on Friday Febuary 2nd. I spoke with Isaiah. He responded with a 3 man team on Saturday to move a huge commercial refrigerator as well as many typical household goods. They were efficient polite and supported my sense of urgency. Reasonable rates with high quality service. I recommend anyone with moving needs to contact Isaiah @ "Willy Jay's" moving servicies. read more

Let me start by saying Thank you to Isaiah he made my moving day easy and stress free.. If you are looking for a reliable, affordable, friendly and professional mover. I highly recommend Willie Jay's Moving service. I would definitely used them again in the future. read more

It was nice to have Willie J's do our move for us for the second time. Isaiah is a hard-working guy and runs a good system. I would recommend Isaiah to you if you were looking for a mover. read more

Texted 15 minutes before they were scheduled to arrive asking to reschedule. Then never responded to phone calls or text. Had to call credit card company to get deposit refunded. Used them once before with no issues. So disappointed!! read more

Isaiah, the owner was awesome. Great communication, honest, reliable and hardworking. He came and gave us a walk through estimate for moving our home and stuck very closely to that estimate by pushing his guys to stay on track and keeping spirits high. We provided waters/Gatorade and pizza to help them keep going on move day because it was hot! They wrapped all of our furniture very well. They made sure to ask us which ones we wanted most protected. I will say, it may be important to get some mattress bags as one of our mattress and box spring sets got pretty dirty (thankfully it's got zip off covers so we just threw it in the wash. Somehow a bag of bolts and clips got misplaced during the day and Isaiah took full responsibility and went out and bought replacements. No one is perfect, but this crew was hands down 100% better than our last movers (mindful movers IE). Isaiah's crew didn't milk the clock and they put their all into the day. We had a 3200 sq ft house and 4 movers took about 10-11 hours. We did end up making 3 trips, but only because it was a 10 min drive and I preferred not to have furniture stacked. Overall I would highly recommend this company for your moving needs! read more

Willie Jay's Moving Services - Movers Near Me

Isaiah and his team were on time and very friendly. We got 3 movers for our 2100 sq. Ft home to another home of the same size with heavy items on the second floor. They disassembled and assembled all our bed frames and even placed them where we asked at the new location. All the furniture was in place and the boxes were mostly in the garage. They were quick to respond with our estimate and got the job done. I would highly recommend this company. Thank you Michael for keeping in touch with me and responding so quickly. read more

The best moving service out there. They were efficient, professional and went above and beyond to help us move our restaurant equipment from our old location to the new. The most impressive part was their ability to improvise when it seemed as though we were unable to fit our ovens out of the door. They thoughtfully took a moment to assess the situation and worked their magic to get our appliance out safely. If you are moving and want the best to help you, then these are you people. Thanks again read more

Moving is not pleasant, but they made it much more tolerable. They showed up on time, were professional and efficient. All members of the crew had great attitudes and wanted to make sure we were happy. They exceeded our expectations, we would use them again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend their service. read more

Was in the market for a moving service to help me move from Temecula to Canyon lake. Glad I made the right decision and chose them! They were, even in these crazy times, the ultimate stress reliever to know that the professionalism matched the quality of the service. I was able to move into my new place with no hiccups! Thanks again Willie Jay's! Will definitely recommend to any of my friends and loved ones looking for a reliable services to match great customer service. read more

Isaiah and his crew are amazing, his integrity and honesty is outstanding. My TV broke during the move accidentally and he paid for it no questions ask. He is truly an honest and really his job. I recommend him 100%. They move really fast and very caution of your belongins. Thank you and Godbless read more

scam of a company, confirmed we were good to go for 11th March on the Saturday before. woke up this morning waiting for the estimated arrival, no showed, texted no answer, called and the phone number doesn't work. now their yelp page says "temporarily closed til April 1st". stay far away from this company. read more

Isaiah and his team ruined our holiday. He and his team came through, about an hour late, the day of the move, surveyed the job, and then told us that they couldn't park safely on the street. He told my wife that if we could secure safe parking on the street that they would be back at 730am the next morning to move us. We thought it was odd. We're talking about 26 feet of space. Regardless, this was the plan. He is the professional and respected the policy. We took our truck out of the parking structure and parked on the street. We then asked a friend of ours to come and help save space. Our friend came through very early in the morning after working a 12 hour shift. The day of the move, they were late. They'd already shown that was acceptable because they were late the day before. Ok. We let it ride. Then, two hours went by. Three hours went by. Now we're worried. We texted Isaiah. I called him. Both efforts yielded no response. Around 11am we started looking for another company because we desperately needed to be out of the apartment. We ended up finding a new company who were just amazing! However, we ended up moving ON CHRISTMAS EVE! Our little boy had no tree, no "yule tide bliss", and spent his Christmas surrounded by boxes and sacks. Now, I am a bit old-fashioned but, when someone looks me in the eye, shakes my hand and says they are going to do something...well, call me silly..but, I expect that thing to happen. Isaiah lied to us. He disrespected us. He put our son in danger because he and his crew came into our home with no masks. He treated us like our time and our lives were not important and didn't even have the common decency to tell us that they decided to not take the job. I joined Yelp to write this review and it may be the last one I write. That's how serious this was to me. I'm not angry. I am deeply saddened that someone would treat us this way and I am still shocked that someone would do this. The level of sheer immaturity and gall to do that, just breaks my heart. Isaiah and his team ruined our holiday. read more

Second time I have used them. That should tell you all you need to know. They are reliable , efficient and very friendly.

I can't say enough about Willie Jay's Moving Services! The whole process went very smoothly. The team was polite and hard working! They did everything we asked and more! Super reliable and communication was great. I'll definitely be using them again when needed! Thank you so much to Isaiah and his hard working team! read more

Isaiah and his crew were great to work with! I have moved several times on my own over the years and this was the first time I decided to hire movers. I'm so glad I did! Willie Jay's saved my back by moving all of my heavy furniture, including a piano, gym equipment, a solid wooden desk, a credenza, several beds, a dining table and much more. They were fast and efficient and handled all of my items with great care. I had all of my items moved to a shipping container. Isaiah's crew packed and stored all of my items inside the shipping container and it was obvious that they were professionals at safely packing and properly storing furniture and other fragile items. From the first contact and through the completion of the move, Isaiah was responsive and easy to communicate with. The cost of services were very fair and so worth it! I would definitely recommend Isaiah and Willie Jay's to anyone who has a move and who is looking for professional service at very cost effective rate. Thank you Isaiah and crew for all of your hard work and for the great experience! God bless! read more

I attempted to use Willie Jay's but, with no warning did not show the 1st date we had scheduled due to rain, fair enough, but a call would have been appreciated. Then with the assurance from Isaiah himself that the next day they will be there at 9am to complete the move, they did not show. This time Isaiah swapped from texting to confirm he would arrive to a sneaky email to inform us that he in fact was not. If that was the only problem and my 550 dollar deposit had been returned, I would not have bothered to leave a review, but that is where things get worse. Upon requesting my deposit be returned I was informed that he had spent it and does not have the money to refund it, then followed with a promise to pay after the job he finishes on Monday, again no word or payment. I would absolutely use his service, but just one of you, that way I can get refunded with your money. Outside of that the rest stay clear. read more

I'm so sorry to have to write this review because I'm a pretty easy going person and pretty forgiving with little mishaps because we're all human and things happen but this was a little ridiculous. First of all I did let Isaiah know that this was a 3k sqft home and there was a lot of big furniture pieces. He quoted me a price and told me it would take about 4-6 hours. I was going with the higher number even thinking it might go a little over 6 hours. Well it took them 12 hours. Now I do have to mention that I had already boxed everything that had to be stored and furniture had already been taken apart and mattresses had already been bagged. Isaiah told my son that we were going to need another storage unit. So went to the storage ant it was a disaster! Everything was just tossed in with no rhyme or reason. So I went back and asked him about this he said they were going to rearrange things. When they got there with the rest of the furniture I had to start directing the packing of the unit. I was so annoyed. But we got it done. I had furniture pieces damaged. And when I told Isaiah that I was going to have him leave me a blanket for a table that had to be stored on its side on the concrete floor he told me that would cost me $15. I told him let's just call it even since I've been working here for you too. And heres the thing... he had two workers to start the day but he didn't want to pay them over time so he picked up two high school boys to finish the job. I had to keep them on their toes and off their phones. Do Not Put yourself through this headache. Get references Wish I had read more
