This is the second time I’ve used Meathead Movers and when the time comes again, they will be my first call. Caydin, William and Ethan were fantastic! Very professional and courteous team. If you have the opportunity to make a request, ask for this team.
Professional, careful, timely, polite, and extremely efficient. Nolan and Landis were fantastic. No need to use anyone else.
UPDATE 10/22/2026: NEARLY $7,000 FOR AN UNFINISHED MOVE. OVER 100 PAGES OF DOCUMENTATION. STILL NO RESOLUTION. If you’re considering hiring Meathead Movers, I strongly encourage you to read this before signing anything. I hired this company because I had used them previously and trusted them. That trust turned out…
Meathead mover staff has always been top notch. I have used Meathead Movers 4 times and the movers are always polite, fast and reliable.
Caydin and Brandon were amazing. They made quick work of my job while taking the necessary precautions to keep everything safe during the move. I appreciate Meathead for the level of communication during the entire process and the outstanding customer service on the front and backend.
All worked so hard and were extremely fit!
Super nice, super careful, super efficient. They were awesome!
Caden and Dustin both did excellent jobs leading crews to pack our home, load multiple trucks, move, and unload our home over 2 days. I am so impressed by their hard work, fast pace, quality home protection, and their kindness throughout the process. Everyone on the team was so helpful, had great attitudes, and they…
Meathead Movers are organized, considerate, efficient, and obviously experts at packing challenging items for home moving services.
The office staff and day of moving team were professional, patient, and extremely helpful. I would absolutely recommend Meathead Movers to anyone moving in and around the SLO, Paso Robles area. You won't be sorry. If I need movers again in that area this is who I'm calling. Huge thanks for all the help!!
Awesome company made my move easy. They packed most of my stuff and handled them with care. Highly recommend and will definitely do business again in the future.
Meathead movers were great, exceptional packers and were communicative and timely
From start to finish everyone at Meathead Movers was a pleasure to deal with. The two men who brought my specialized loom to my house were great and worked smoothly, they were so polite and courteous too.
As always, the best people and service. Thank you Meathead. You guys made a quick, stressful unforeseen move after just having moved already, seamless and worry free! You guys took great care of both places!
Movers were amazing and accomplished moving heavy furniture down steep stairway.
I encouraged my mother to hire Meathead Movers for her move from Atascadero, CA to Kuna, ID because I trusted their reputation. The quotes were higher than other companies, but I told her she was paying for peace of mind. Unfortunately, this was far from any peace. From the beginning, we questioned the estimator's…
The guys were fantastic! Very professional and took great care with everything. They worked really hard. They were worth every penny! Definitely would use them again.
The Meathead Movers are simply the best. Fairly priced, efficient, and courteous for every moment. I would not hire any other moving company. The team was on it from start to finish and handled everything perfectly!
Went above and beyond, Nolan did a great job
Great moving company, enjoyed the experience! 100% Recommend. 😇
The two gentlemen who came to move my stuff did a fantastic job.
The crew was friendly, on time and did a sensational job. I would gladly use them again.
The team was super efficient, helpful and polite.
Excellent and efficient move with Meathead Movers recently. Furniture wasn't damaged and was placed directly where I wanted. Very pleased with the ontime service and cost.
The communication was excellent between scheduling, pricing, and any other questions I might need to ask. The day of the move went smoothly. The two movers Went above and beyond. Very easy to talk to. True Meathead professionals. Very happy with my complete experience.
Guys were friendly, professional, and thorough. Loaded and unloaded quickly. Everything arrived in perfect condition.
I really appreciated the professionalism of my movers. They communicated often and took care with the furniture. Great experience!
Movers were quick and fast. Also extremely helpful and nice!
We were very happy with the performance that we received from Meathead Movers. Got the moving done in a timely fashion which was important to us because we needed to meet a deadline. Thank you so much, Armando Galvan. We appreciated the professionalism that We experienced from Richard . Thank you!
Fast and stress-free. Did an amazing job moving us into our new home
Meathead movers was not only professional and quick, they were also very kind. They took their time to make sure nothing was damaged in the process of the move while making sure to be time efficient. Definitely recommend using them!!
Very expensive when compared with the averages of what online tells me about moving costs. $5700 for a local move is pretty excessive (and I had discounts included, so it would have been more)…Unfortunately I had surgery, so I had no option. Pros and cons. You certainly get what you pay for, but you can find cheaper…
Meathead Movers did a very professional job handling pick up for a sofa that was in storage. Mark & his two assistants (I can’t remember their names) were friendly & polite. They took care of the sofa & delivered it quickly. Thanks!
Dylan, Luke & George hooked us up with a professional and quick crosstown move. In 3.5 hrs we got all the heavy stuff and were set up in our new home for bedtime! I appreciate their incredible problem solving when we encountered unexpected issues.
These guys are great! They worked hard to organize and wrap all the furniture. They were patient with my requests and even stayed a little late to move furniture to where I liked. Would recommend them to my friends and family!
Ryan and Tristan came here today and moved a massive heavy hutch out to another location. Very efficient, very clean, very professionally done! Oh and 2 very nice people as well! Most impressed with Meathead Movers! Highly recommended!
Tristan, Luke, and Sal knocked it out of the park! They made moving all my things incredibly easy and stress free. Very polite and respectful!
We had a great experience with this moving company. They made the entire moving process easy and hassle-free. The crew worked quickly and efficiently while taking great care of our belongings. Their customer service was excellent, and they communicated with us every step of the way, making sure we knew what to…
Bernardo and the scheduling staff stayed in contact and locked everything down in writing before the move. No surprises or extra charges. The three movers were fast and efficient and paid careful attention to placing everything in the designated spaces. The best moving company we have worked with. Highly recommend…
If you're looking for a moving company that actually makes the experience enjoyable, look no further than Meathead Movers. Michael Bronze is the reason we chose Meathead Movers — and we are so glad we did. Patient beyond measure, incredibly professional, and so thorough in his explanations that we never once had to…
The guys were kind, strong and efficient! Job well done with a great attitude.
I have worked with Meathead Movers on two occasions and had a positive experience both times. I have recommended them to others without hesitation. On my last move, Tiago was very professional and thorough with his assessment. He did an excellent job setting things up for moving day.
They made it easy to move my Cuesta student!
The team was on time, friendly, and personable. From the moment I called to inquire about pricing to the move itself, the experience was fantastic! Thank you to everyone!
The friendly team of three made moving a pleasant experience and they were knowledgeable and professional.
The Meathead team showed up on time and did a great job. We had to empty our home and move everything to our garage in order to retrofit sprinklers to home. They worked fast and protected our furniture and all doorways. Much more than I expected!
Dominic and Sal did a great job, fast and careful work. These two were even able to get some pretty bulky furniture up a quite cramped staircase safely. The company was able to get a reservation worked out on very short notice.
Meathead movers were the epitome of professional and efficient from start to finish. Their communication and systems for the process were very clear and organized. Their staff was helpful and friendly while getting the job done. They provided services exactly as promised and their follow through was 5⭐️ throughout.…
Highly recommend this moving company. They were professional and made my move easy.
Meathead, Movers has been over-the-top consistently the last three years. They were careful with all the stuff they moved, worked hard all day and did an excellent job! I would highly recommend them to anybody in the central Coast area when it comes to moving.
Meathead movers went above and beyond to help our moving day feel seamless, friendly and efficient. Jordan and his team had a great energy and vibe. They moved our belongings quickly and efficiently while keeping our items safe. While we only expected them to move boxes, they also cleaned, swept and took our trash…
Tristan and Dominic were great! They were super polite and very helpful😇 Great young men!
Meathead movers were absolutely fantastic! Professional and friendly, they crushed it! I wouldn't use any other company.
Everything about this experience was smooth and easy! From starting my free consultation with Iain and never feeling pressured or left unheard about a need. To the offers for concierge service to help set up utilities (I wasn’t in need of them, so I don’t have any experience with that service). The incredible group…
Super professional, honest, clean, and understanding! I'm a disabled veteran and my wife has sever fibromyalgia. We have two kids a dog and cat and we needed to move our 4 bedroom house into a storage unit while we continued our house search after selling our house. We were doing our best to pack up and move as…
They were efficient and very careful and did everything in the time they told me. The estimation process was very good and their communication was prefect. Plus, each crew was very friendly and I enjoyed having them around. He was fantastic with quote and coordination
Meathead movers made the move easy. Zach and Carlos were efficient, professional, courteous and went above and beyond to meet our needs! We received stellar service.
So I have used Meathead movers 3 times over the years and I have never had anything but a good experience. The process is quick and efficient. They are always on time and maximize their work to keep the costs down. Are accurate in their estimates. Moving guys are courteous and respectful. Great people to help you move.
I've had Meathead move me, and my daughter during college, a total of 4 times, utilizing their packing service, and their storage facility, and they have been outstanding every time. The guys have all been hard working, professional, polite and friendly, and I've taken pics of my crews every time cuz they were so…
Meathead is the best in the business! I use them every time I move. They are always so kind and professional. This move I worked with Ruben, Vincent, and Briana. They were all wonderful and helped make my move so much easier!
We chose to work with Meathead Movers because they had quick response times, excellent communication and a fair price. Callie provided excellent customer service. She was very helpful and friendly.
This is the second time I've used Meathead movers.They were on time, very professional and took great care of my stuff, wrapping it very well and being extremely careful not to scratch anything.
I've used Meathad movers on at least 5 local moves and a move from Sunnyvale to San Luis Obispo. They are world class in packing, moving and storing your home, garage, apartment etc... The movers are quick, crisp, and make smart decisions with your gear. I've received great customer service from packing up to…
Our friends recommended them to us and they were so right. This team was amazing. They got all our furniture wrapped and ready to move in no time. They took care when they took apart our bed frames etc and carefully labeled all the parts. This was particularly important because our new home wasn’t completely…
We hired Meathead Movers to help get my 86 year old brother moved from his house to an apartment. The movers were very careful to wrap things like his TV to make sure nothing got broken. They were fast and friendly and willing to help with our requests. The cost was reasonable. I would highly recommend this company.
Quality of work and work ethic. We used Meathead Movers to help me unload when we moved to Morro Bay. (Help me) They did everything, all I had to do was point where I wanted stuff, they even loaded my storage shed. It was a lifesaver for me. We used them again to help my Daughter and family move from an upstairs…
I took a chance because I liked their business model. Turned out to be a fantastic experience from start to finish. A few years later, my mom was planning to move and we hired you again. Same great experience! What a great company!
Outstanding experience - yet again. I have used MM three times now over 20 years, and each move has been excellent. This last time, the crew was on time, professional, and handled each piece of furniture with care. Even went the extra mile with placing a heavy front loading washer in a difficult to access area. Thanks!
Organized quick and got the job done with care. I would only use Meathead Movers for my moving needs.
As a single older person, Meathead movers was a godsend. When I purchased my new home, they met me at my storage unit did all the loading in an organized and careful manner and then met me at my house and unloaded everything. With the same care. The personnel were very friendly and accommodating. I recommend them to everyone.
Zack and his crew did a great job. They are organized, efficient and nice to work with. Zack double checked to make sure all the items were moved to the correct location.
This is one of the best moving companies, i was very pleased with the professionalism the team operates i will definitely recommend it >>
They showed up on time.Moved the mattress with no problems
What a terrific experience! Kaleb and Dustin were polite to us (and each other). They hustled and made sure to keep us updated on their progress. We were so impressed by their work ethic and their concern for our belongings. We would 100 percent recommend this company!
These guys were fast and very attentive.
Absolutely fantastic experience! From scheduling through move day, every part was perfect. The two movers were respectful, professional, and actually did jog in between moving stuff. Would use MM again for a move for sure :)
The two guys that helped were very professional and did a great job!
A very mindful and thorough company. Workers were very easy to work with and worked very hard throughout the whole move.
We had to make room in our garage, so your movers (Tristan, Zach and Ryan) moved things from our garage to your mini-storage. They did a fantastic job. They were very aware of helping me organize things. They were very respectful of our things, even the really dusty boxes. We would highly recommend Meathead Movers to anyone.
Our movers were amazing! They moved our entire upstairs apartment into a 3-story walk up in 3 hours!!! I cannot express how grateful I am for the quality of service, kindness, and enthusiasm Marino and Cole showed up with. They never slowed down and they smiled through it all. I’d give 10 stars if I could!
Super cool guys … Nolan Manny and Ryan Rey happy !!!
Great move!
Great service, quick and easy. Courteous and fast. Courteous, fast, full service, would highly recommend.
I needed to get my stuff moved from a downstairs apt to an upstairs unit, and I left all the heavy items for Meathead. Their guys did a great job - efficient and careful (protecting the floors, door jams, etc.). They even got done quicker than I’d planned. Thx, Meathead!
I hired Meathead Movers to help with a local storage move and consolidation. Dustin and Cole were amazing, very helpful and efficient! I would highly recommend using Meathead Movers for any type of move big or small.
Fantastic experience! I don’t think the move could have been any better and I will always use Meathead Movers in the future. A great moving crew, thank you!!!
Meathead Movers are very professional and can absolutely be depended on for moving needs. I've used them three times now and the crew is always efficient. I always recommend them. I worked with Mark on a complex move and he understood the assignment well while paying attention to critical details. The move was executed flawlessly!
Professional, respectful, handles everything with care!
I found Meathead Movers online, and I am so glad I did. They helped me unpack my UPack pods into my new home, and made moving in so smooth and easy. They worked super fast and efficiently, and built everything that needed to be assembled. Highly recommend, and I would ABSOLUTELY use em again!
Marino & Cole were wonderful. Not only were they competent in their work, but they were extremely polite & accomodating.
Best moving experience ever.
Moving experience with Meathead was great! They’re a premium service, so the price can climb pretty high during estimates, but there’s a reason for it. The movers were friendly, fun to chat with, efficient, and very capable. Brian and Daniel were absolutely awesome, and made the entire thing a breeze. They put down…
Customer Service support, Briana provided excellent information and service. Dylan and his crew provided professional moving services, gold glove service, with both loading, unloading and setups. Dylan is an outstanding individual and an asset for MH movers. Thanks.
They have a reliable team! I have never had a bad experience with them.
The guys were absolutely fabulous as well as oraganized, helpful, very fast and WOW really STRONG! My entire family uses only them for moving tasks. Plus I LOVE the company name!!$
Dylan and his crew were awesome. They were so fast! Saved us a ton of money. Plus communication was amazing from start to finish with the office and the moving crew. If you’re moving, make your life easy and hire Meatheads.
Super smooth and efficient. The crew was fantastic. Really appreciative of the help and kindness.
All the guys were super conscientious and worked hard. Outstanding help on a stressful moving day.
We had a great experience with Meathead Movers this weekend. They sent four movers who were friendly, professional & efficient. They handled everything with care and helped make what could have been a very stressful move feel more manageable. We’re so grateful for their help and would definitely recommend them!
Jack and his team were fantastic. We had a two home move and the coordinated everything effortlessly. Communication before and during the move was great. It was a long day for them and we were very appreciative of the hustle all day long. Great teamwork and awesome job!! 5 star rating! Jack was amazing. Organized, communicative and kept the team on track.
Meathead Movers did a fantastic job unloading a large moving truck, particularly with an old heavy piano. They were efficient and so enjoyable to work with!
Amazing. 10/10. Cannot tell you how quickly you should book your move with MM. We had a move in awful conditions (rain, mud, construction, rural roads) and the three men that did our move handled it perfectly and professionally, despite all the challenges being thrown at them. Nothing broke, everything was clean…
The team that helped me move 5 offices and shift furniture around were fast, pleasant, helpful and AMAZING!
Meathead Movers were great! They are very careful with our possessions and super fast, professional and friendly.
We chose to work with Meathead Movers as we were moving from LA to SLO county, and we wanted to support a quality local business. We were so pleased with their work, that we used them again, when we moved within the county. Excellent communication, and work ethic. Highly recommend!
The two guys that helped me move were a lifesaver. They did a lot of heavy lifting up 4 flights of stairs. They were fast and efficient. They also helped move last minute things that I asked them to that I hadn’t mentioned before the appointment. So they were also flexible in that regard. They were very nice and had…
I can’t say enough good things about the guys who moved me. It was pouring rain on moving day, and these guys went above and beyond to make sure my belongings were thoroughly wrapped to keep them dry. They were friendly and professional. Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.
Efficient and reliable!
Meathead Mover’s team was timely, communicative, and flexible. Love the hourly rate and up front max you will pay estimate. Would absolutely trust them to move our items again!
Wonderful, didn’t hesitate to help me with anything. They went above and beyond to help a very stressful situation go calmly and smoothly.
Fantastic experience, great crew, always on time, courteous, professionals. Highly recommend
Absolutely THE best moving company around! Great customer service! Courteous, friendly, and polite movers. They handled everything perfectly and on schedule. This is the 2nd time I've used them. I hope I don't have to move again, but if I do, I won't hesitate to call them.
On-time, well organized, hard working. They listened well and were flexible as we got our remaining items moved out of our house.
Arnold and Andrew were great, thank you guys!
This is our fourth move with Meathead and every time it has been a wonderful experience…the employees are fantastic and we will be using them again in the future..thank you for a job well done!
Arnold and Jason hustled the whole time and dealt with all my heavy furniture well.
We had an excellent experience with Meathead Movers. They were very professional and provided excellent service.
We won’t even consider doing business with any other mover besides MeatHead. They are tireless workers who take care of your belongings with incredible care. These guys are very polite and give a VERY fair price! I highly recommend these folks!
Both movers were great! They showed up right on time, hustled hard and made sure everything was to my liking. Had a great experience with meathead movers and would recommend them for a smooth and easy move.
