There to help were Mateo, Javier, and Sergio - they were all wonderful to work with! Starting with my first call in to them - Val was great and very helpful - she set me up with an in-home appt with Jim to do the estimate. Jim assesses and takes inventory so that nothing is overlooked - he was professional, detailed and thorough, and straight to the point. I appreciated all those qualities! On moving day, the three men were prompt, polite, and got straight to loading the truck. The move was completed an hour earlier than anticipated and I was charged accordingly. I highly recommend AMS Bekins! I called 3 other places for quotes, and I'm so glad I chose and hired them. I don't plan on moving any time soon, but if/when I do - they will be my go-to movers. Many thanks to them for my successful move! read less

I’m person friends with the owner and Cameron Eversole. Aside from that I’ve always experienced quality service and professionalism and would highly recommend their company for anyone needing a moving company for a short or long move.Kevin WeinbergKMW Construction & Consulting

They arrived on time to load truck. Everything showed up at our new place the next morning at 11:00am. The whole moving experience was excellent starting with getting an estimate for the job to the office for billing to the movers. Everyone was professional and helpful with our concerns. I would highly recommend Bekins for your moving needs! read less

The team at AMS Bekins were super with our out of state move. They provided world-class customer service from start to finish and are reasonably priced. I highly recommend this team.

Each time the company has been profession, thorough, and very respectful.You have a LOT of options when its time to chose the right company to do your move.... its frankly overwhelming. As such, I look for a LOCAL and FAMILY OWNED business who had been around for 20+ years. I also wanted a business where I could keep my point of contact the same for most of the move.Hands down AMS Bekins, and specifically Val H has made this happen. Val is a saint, and what is amazing is she remember who I am when I call! read less

Their team were professional, on time and very thorough. The move came in two parts, with things being packed and stored in phase 1 for the staging , and the final move with stage 2, 1 month later. I figured given the storage and moving , things were bound to go wrong. However, everything happened as planned and the move was made a lot easier thanks to their work. IN particular, I really appreciated the initial walk through and assessment as well as a projection of time, amount, and cost. Great Job AMS Bekins and I highly recommend them for moving, read less

I frequently use AMS Bekins professionally for receiving, inspecting, and delivering and have used them for a personal move as well. They are the best! So responsive, thoughtful, thorough and just all around nice people! I recommend them to everyone :).

The team was great. They were prompt, careful, and thorough. Everyone on the team was professional. This was my second move with Bekins (1 out-of-state and 1 across town) and I will definitely use them again if we move.

Val and Craig are reliable, responsive, and proactive. They make our jobs easier and more enjoyable! The photos and details Craig provides during inspections have enabled us to reduce and nearly eliminate in-person inspections - ultimately, passing along savings to our clients. From the Accounting team to the onsite crew, everyone is professional and delivers stellar service. Thankful to have a team who I trust and rely on. I can't say enough good things! Highly recommend AMS Bekins! read less

These guys are professional, organized, and genuinely good people who I love working with. They care so much about the work they do and they are masters at it. THE BEST!

They were professional throughout and took seriously the protocols surrounding the pandemic. Furthermore, they worked with us in advance to determine how to move unique items as well as take time upon arrival at the final location to ask us how we would like our furniture neatly arranged. I must add that this also included a stop to empty a storage space in between the two homes. A great experience overall and would highly recommend. read less

It's always a pleasure to refer clients to Jim Diskin and AMS Bekins. Over the years they have moved many of my clients and have always done a great job!

I cannot recommend this company enough. They have done six moves for me. They moved my company three times and my house three times. Very professional and their pricing is very good. I cannot recommend them enough.

I interviewed 5 companies before choosing AMS Bekins for two moves from the Bay Area to Santa Barbara. From the first moment I called them to schedule a walk through to the final invoice, I received nothing but the very best customer service. They were not the least expensive company but what we paid and what we received in exchange was an excellent value. The team that packed and moved our things were very thorough, gentle with fragile items, asked questions when needed, friendly and very professional! I would not hesitate in the slightest to use them again. One of the things that impressed me the most is that they scoped out the area we were moving to and knew the logistics it would take to get the items safely into the home up a narrow road. The other companies did not due their due diligence and I had to share this information with them after they sent their quote. AMS Bekins was also a great wealth of information in connecting us to companies that transport vehicles and disassemble and assemble gym equipment. Thank you AMS Bekins for an excellent move!! read less

Pablo, the crew leader, was a strong leader, disconnecting my cable and providing good directions to taking apart a baby grand piano! I am so appreciative of their work, Cameron's, the on site estimator and the office personnel that handled all the necessary documents that were required. The excellent Texas crew were very good about putting furniture and boxes in the correct place plus putting a baby grand back together. Loved having a check list for all my items. Great job! read less

They have been a great company to work with. They were very flexible to my needs and my requests for specific moving days. They are very responsive and answered any questions I had about my move.

I got quotes from different moving agencies and decided to go with AMS Bekins - as all the prices were about the same, but AMS was the most thorough. I worked with Dylan as we did a video call of what I had to move. I live in a walk-up apartment with stairs in the city, and would drop off at another apartment in a downtown location in NC [I needed shuttle trucks on both ends - lots of touch points of my stuff to get from point A to point B]. Jana helped answer all questions I had throughout the moving process. The packers / movers were friendly and efficient. The drop-off movers were again great. I double-checked the count of items together with the movers. Everything arrived fine, on time, and I paid what I was quoted. read less

I double-checked the count of items together with the movers. Everything arrived fine, on time, and I paid what I was quoted. Looks like some people had a bad experience, and I think it all depends on luck of the draw for people you get, same with any moving company. So here are some things that I did to reduce my risk level:1) I packed 95% of my stuff myself.1) I asked about when the "van line" would be moving across the country. I then coordinated and booked my pick-up / drop-off dates, so my stuff wouldn't go into a warehouse.2) I asked a lot of questions about the move and had them to be included in the quote (stairs, shuttle vans, packing, estimated pick-up/drop off date, etc).3) I mentioned a few times I was paying for the move myself, not expensing to a company. [There are no deep pockets here if my stuff is lost/stolen]4) I generally hung around the movers during the move, had casual conversations, tried to be personable, offered a bottled water/snack + tip at the end. [I feel like things go better if you are nice to people] read less

What was NOT stressful was anything that had to do with Bekins. They were on time, packed quickly and efficiently, showed up to unload all on time and were really accommodating as we were storing most things, but using others while we rented.I would use these guys again in a heartbeat. (But ohmygod do I hope I do not have to move again any timesoon!) read less

I was referred to them by a previous moving company that I used about 6 years ago for a move from NY to SF. I needed to hire a mover for my move from SF to LA just now. The previous company could not accommodate my move and thus directed me to AMS Bekins. Dylan arrived at my home to do an estimate and ended up going with them in the end. Sandra from the office was helpful to with coordinating logistics with the inventory pick up. The movers themselves Andres and Daniel are very professional, accommodating, and pleasant to work with. I don't know who is posting these negative reviews but when the previous company who I used for a cross country move (who provided excellent service) refers me to AMS Bekins only to have four different people from the company give me an overall pleasant experience, I think that speaks volumes. Yes, I highly recommend AMS Bekins. read less

Excellent experience with Bekins. They were very professional and made the moving experience easy. Andres, Daniel, and Lupe helped us with the loading in Northern California and delivery in Southern California. Highly recommend.
