Roman, Eddie, Dymtro were excellent! They are a stressful life event go much more smoothly and I am happy that I made the call to have them help with my move. Will definitely be recommending to my friends!
Ilbert came in and did a great job when moving items. They were very careful with everything . You can tell that he and his crew care about doing a great job. I would definitely recommend them for future occasions and everybody I know. Don’t hesitate to call and book them for the job. 😌😌😁😁
Great guys, very efficient and good! They wrapped things that needed to be wrapped, even got my bed setup properly after the move, and did a great job! They also had tools for taking apart and putting back furniture which i didn't even have. Would definitely recommend.
The movers did an excellent job! Fast and efficient. Protected everything really well and was stress free. Completely recommend. David, Mike, and Adolf thanks for the great work!
Ilbert and his crew provided exceptional service! I really appreciate the help with disconnecting and reconnecting all appliances. Very impressed with the whole move and the amount of time they got it done in. I highly recommend SOS moving and will be using them for any future moves.
Ilbert and his team were phenomenal!!! With their team of 4 they got my grandparents moved within 6 hours! They responded to all of our requests with gladness and were very friendly as well (including helping us get our washer/ dryer hooked back up). I was a bit concerned because my Grandma is so particular, but…
They were so fast moving my stuff from Playa Vista to Sawtelle. They were very efficient and very easy to work with. Have zero complaints!
Quick and negligent. SOS Moving lost several of my belongings during a late July move and ignored my follow-ups for weeks. They only returned one heavy box after I threatened a police report, and they dumped it on the street side instead of the unit's door. Over a month and a half later, some of my belongings is still missing.
SOS Moving earned every single one of these five stars by making our whole-house move completely seamless. From the first phone call, their customer service was responsive, clear, and reassuring. On moving day, the crew showed up on time, treated all our belongings and both properties with total respect, and…
100% happy with SOS movers. So glad I went with them. After getting multiple quotes, the immediate call from Sarah made me feel confident booking with them, she was so nice and full of info, and didn’t feel pushy at all. Then the 4 guys arrived the morning of, on time and ready to work. They were very friendly,…
I hired SOS Moving for my recent move and I’m so happy I chose to work with them! Freddy and his team arrived promptly when expected and worked quickly and efficiently. I opted to hire 4 movers which I would highly recommend - they got my 2bd apt moved in exactly 3hrs! I would definitely use SOS Moving again and highly recommend them for your next move!
I think SOS Moving genuinely helped turn what would have been a very chaotic move into a pretty manageable and smooth experience, thanks to their professionalism, support, clear breakdown of expectations, and helpful follow up. From the beginning, SOS Moving was transparent with their quoting process, and they…
Ilbert and his team did a great job with my local move. They took care of wrapping everything with blankets to protect it during the move and provided all of the materials needed. They were quick and efficient and I would hire again in the future!
The amazing movers did the best job moving my house today! Could not ask for a better team to move us!
Do not use this "company", my friend and I hired them to help us move. They showed up 3hrs late, took forever to load everything, (according to them they don't want to damage anything) but some how they damage the furniture. They charged and arm and a leg, still have the audacity to ask for a tip. They contacted my…
We had a great experience with SOS moving recently. They were very efficient, hard working, polite and professional. Nodar was especially helpful in assisting us with ideas for furniture placement. I appreciate their hard work during one of the hottest days of the year and up multiple stairs. Would recommend these movers!
Ilbert and his team were phenomenal. Smoothest moving experience I could ask for!
David and Russel are the champs of the champs They know exactly what needs to be done. And handle it with care Care and concern. I advise to ask always for David and Russell. It will feel like your big brother and uncle.
We used SOS moving for our recent move on 8/25 to our new house we just bought! Freddy and Andres did a great job made our move go super smooth! Very polite, accommodating and very careful with our home goods. Ask for Freddy and Andres you won’t regret it! Anthony and Esthela Guzman
Freddy and Erik were on time and very efficient. It was ~$400 for 3 hrs. They were able to move my IKEA pax cabinets without disassembling them which was a great help!
Andrés and Freddie helped me move, they were efficient, kind, and careful. They arrived on time and were very communicative through the day. I was moving from a one bed to a smaller space and they made it so easy. I would definetly recommend hiring them for your next move!
5 stars for SOS Moving Services! Gilbert and his team did an amazing job with our move. They were professional, friendly, efficient, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. They worked quickly while still taking great care with everything, and the whole move was completed in a timely and organized…
SOS came recommended to me, and for good reason: they're fast and professional in all aspects of the move. Ilbert is a great crew leader and he and his team of 4 made good time with a very densely packed apartment. Highly recommend!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Moving is usually stressful, but Freddy, Christian, and Andres made the entire experience so much easier. They were kind, respectful, and incredibly hardworking from the moment they arrived. They didn’t just do their job—they went out of their way to help with anything we needed and made sure everything was…
Moving can be such a headache, but, we had a dream team! Armando, Gito, Tiago, and Danny made it such a super easy process! They were so nice, friendly, skilled, and funny too! If you’re moving anywhere, make sure you get this dream team!😁
I used SOS moving and had Freddy, Andres, and Cristian. They were excellent. They were punctual, efficient, careful, and professional. I would highly recommend them for any moving needs!
Ilvert came with 2 other guys and did an excellent, very timely job even though there were a bunch of stairs and still managed it stress free. Would recommend to anyone. High value.
Nodar and his team made my move so much easier. He runs a well oiled machine and I was impressed with how quickly they were packing and loading everything, while handling everything with extreme care. They were so kind and communicative, thoroughly making sure everything was where I needed. They packed, moved, and…
Armando and the crew did a great job!! They wrapped each piece of furniture carefully and handled it with care. Amazing work!
EXTREMELY unprofessional we live in the Redondo Beach area we hired this company to help us with our move. At arrival I noticed it was leaking a lot of gasoline it seemed very skittish, the driver was driving erratically and gas was spilling profusely out of the gas tank onto the street that was RED FLAG number ONE.…
Great moving service!! Nodar was awesome! He got all of our stuff into our 3rd floor apartment very quickly and that included our heavy items, very nice gentleman. Thank you Nodar!! 🙂
Freddy & his partner were so great! we had a narrow stairway and difficult parking and they were so accommodating. we are super grateful for them & their kindness! 10/10 recommend!
Excellent! Super professional and efficient and kind. Loved it
We were very impressed with Freddy, Andres, and Henry’s efficiency and professionalism during our move. They were even able to get IKEA furniture moved in one piece without any damage! We’ll be recommending them to anyone we know who will be moving in Los Angeles.
Freddy, Andres, and Henry were awesome in our move from Sherman Oaks to Palos Verdes. They were all diligent, hardworking, professional, and went the extra mile to make sure the move was as smooth and safe as possible for us. I was very impressed by the team and how they tackled any potential logistical problem…
Nodar and his crew were amazing! Super fast, friendly, and professional. They handled everything with care and were finished way faster than I had estimated. HIGHLY recommended!
Amazing experience with SOS Moving! We used them for a local household move. Extremely professional team who were on top of everything. The week leading up to the move they sent reminders which was great, and the morning of they called to say they were on their way, and they arrived exactly on time per the quote.…
We had a great experience with Armando and his crew! They were very professional and super friendly and just the best people to work with! They made moving a very enjoyable experience!
Amazing job from Freddy, Andres, and Henry. They were early, they moved everything with care, and they finished faster than expected!

Ilbert, helped us moved very quickly. In less than 4 days the warehouse was cleared.
I had a great experience with SOS Moving! Nodar and his team were absolutely fantastic—fast, professional, and incredibly hardworking. They arrived on time, handled my belongings with care, and worked efficiently from start to finish. The entire team was friendly, organized, and made what could have been a stressful…
This would’ve been a five star review had they honored the pricing that they gave me initially. The movers themselves were nice, but there was a language barrier that made communicating what to bring and not bring difficult, resulting in my having to move several pieces of furniture back that were taken in error.…
We had a really good experience with Nodar and his team. They were on time and were able to move everything from our two bedroom apartment across town in about 5hrs, we could not have moved without them!
Nodar and his team were punctual, professional, and easy to work with. I would absolutely hire them again. They made the move seamless and stress free.
Armando and the crew were so helpful and got the job done well within the estimate. I felt my stuff was cared for and would recommend SOS moving for your move! Go with SOS for all your moving needs!!
Ilbert and his team did a great job of helping us move out of a 4 floor townhouse in Del Ray down to a SFH in Torrance. You could tell that they were all professionals and not just "muscle" by the way they moved all of our furniture and effeciently packed the truck right to the brim. I even bought them lunch (as you…
Andrew and Andrew did a great job! Super, fast, perfect communication, great attention to detail. Highly recommend this team and company overall
Benny and Andres were a great team of two who helped me move. They were super quick, careful and efficient. All of my furniture and belongings made it safe and not damaged to my new place. Very hard workers and great communication. Customer service was reliable and great, highly recommend this company! Affordable too!
We moved with SOS Moving in March, and unfortunately had a really disappointing experience. During the move, their movers badly scratched our floors. The lead mover even apologized at the time and explained that some of the assistants were new, which is why the damage happened. He provided us with the contact…
Adrian, Luka, and Erik did an outstanding job with our move. They were professional, punctual, hardworking, and handled all of our belongings with great care. The team worked efficiently throughout the entire move, stayed positive, and made what could have been a stressful day much easier for our family. They were…
SOS were amazing. They moved everything out so fast, carefully packed stuff up, and fit more than I thought possible into a storage unit. Thank you Ilvert and crew!!
We have had Ilbert and his team for the second time in less than one year. They did an amazing job. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a reliable team.
Adrian and Andrew did a great job moving evething very fast and efficient. Carefully moved all my items from a city loft to a 3 story apartment and did it as good as they could have. Thank you very much, highly recommend them!
We had originally scheduled the move for last week but had to postpone unexpectedly due to sudden plan changes on our end. The SOS team was incredibly responsive and immediately helped us reschedule without any delays or complications. In many ways, SOS truly stood by their name — stepping in exactly when we needed…
Shout out to NODAR and IMAM! They helped me move from Chino Hills to Irvine. They helped me moved all boxes and packed my kitchen fast and safely. My destination is on the third floor with no elevator. They were able to skillfully navigate up many trips. I can say they are the real professionals here. I’m glad I…
Ilbert and Alex did a great job with my move today! They were quick and efficient and all of my belongings arrived undamaged. Ilbert was communicative about arrival time and costs, so there were no surprises when it came time to pay. Would definitely use them again!
Very helpful and efficient! Speak Spanish and English, and are very nice.
Armando and crew were very fast but took care of all our stuff. We would use SOS moving again or recommend them to any of our friends.

Ilvert was the main guy helping me, and he and the whole team were honestly the sweetest, kindest, and easiest people to work with. They were extremely hard-working, fast, and…
Adrian and his team were super efficient and true professionals. They were so quick and packed and loaded everything quickly with an equally as quick unloading into the new home. They made my stressful move day a little less stressful with their friendliness and speed. Thank you again! I must note, this was my…
We chose S.O.S. Moving because the price was right. We were blown away by how fast and efficient they were. Gilbert, Alex, and Juan were so friendly and communicated with us every step of the way. They were careful with our things and did an awesome job! Would definitely use S.O.S. again and recommend to anyone.
The movers were very careful with all of our things and finished in a timely manner. Nodar was very helpful and made sure everything was moved efficiently!!
Thank you Ilbert and team and Karina. SOS Moving are pros: fast efficient and friendly.
Great service. The guys were very careful with my white bedroom set and desk. Fast and friendly guys.
Worst moving experience. Make from maximum 5 hours moving 9 hours moving. Try to stole 5k dollars tv, rude, I had to call the police on them. Scam, not recommended
Adrian and Andrew were amazing. They really bailed me out when I was in a tough spot. I was totally unprepared and they came in like real professionals and saved the day!
They were so unbelievably kind and helpful. Went above and beyond Beny and he's crew! Thank you! The help these three gave me was more than I could ever ask for!
SOS Moving did a fantastic job with my move on April 22, 2026! The team who arrived at my apt, Ilbert, Alex, and Juan were fast, organized, and thorough. I had an especially big task for them with my 61 legal file size boxes of books. They were in a numeric order and had to be placed in the new apartment in…
Wonderful moving experience! Adrian and Drew were efficient and speedy. Took special care of breakable items by bubble wrapping ect. Very helpful and highly recommended.
The guys were extremely professional, respectful and joyful. It was a delight to work with them. I’d hire them again! I highly recommend this team!
Adrian and Andre did an excellent job, very fast and friendly
I recommend Armando and his crew from SOS Moving. They were on time and efficient. This was the second time I used SOS Moving. I plan to use them again.
Andrey B. and Andrey S. were very quick, efficient, and accommodating! I really appreciate the care they took in wrapping my furniture and TV. They even patiently waited for me to meet them at the move-in destination. I will definitely be using SOS again for any future moves. Also, I’ve compared prices to…
Great job with moving! Great communication and very careful with items. Ilbert was a great team leader- very polite and very efficient. It was a stress-free process from start to finish.
Hired SOS movers for a 3bed move. Armando and his team were absolutely great, super efficient and got our move done seamlessly 👏👏 highly recommend
Ilbert and his team did a fantastic job packing my very unpacked house. They made sure all items from my old house were packed with care and placed in the desired location at my new house. 10/10 recommend!
Excellent service, fast and effective!!! THE BEST!!!
Great moving experience with Ilvert and his team. He was very efficient, friendly and handled all my items with care. Would highly recommend and will personally use again for all my moves in the future.
Amazing job completed by Armando and Nelson. Showed up on time, worked professionally, friendly and efficiently. Quoted price was accurate and the job was completed on time. Would highly recommend.
Update, we used Roman and team on a second move and it was again great! Fantastic company … showed up exactly on time and proceeded to bust ass. Absolutely hard work, with heavy furniture and stairs. Definitely will use this company again & highly suggest. Fair even good price as they didn’t waste time. Thanks Jose!
Ilbert and Alex from SOS Moving were absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, they were efficient, professional, and took great care with all of my items. They moved fast without ever being careless — everything arrived exactly as it should. It's clear they take real pride in their work, and it made what can be a…
Armando and the guys crushed it for us! Super pleasant to work with and very accommodating. We will definitely go with SOS next time we move!
Made a move last minute and needed to hire someone fast. Buchu and Aslan came to help me and they were great! They took the extra care with packing all my items and electronics, ensuring everything was perfect on arrival. They couldn’t have made my move any easier!
Exceptional service, moved quickly, awesome job and completely professional. I completely recommend SOS!
We needed to move last minute but didn’t have time to pack so we needed to hire somebody to basically do everything for us. We were a little nervous because we had never hired movers before, we were like “do they REALLY pack all your stuff AND move it?” Let me tell you: yes. Ilbert and his team showed up exactly at…
Ilbert and his team were INCREDIBLE! This was our first time doing a move where the movers pack for you, and now I’m never going back. We had a crew of four guys pack our 2 bed house in about 4 hours, then they thoroughly moved everything into our new place with great attention to detail - boxes labeled and in the…
This is my third time using SOS and they did a great job as always! I’ve got a super complicated and heavy sleep number adjustable bed and the team took great care to make sure it got set up correctly and was protected during the move.
SOS moving was the absolute best. I have used other moving companies in LA before and nothing compares to SOS moving. Armando and Nelson went above and beyond. They were professional, punctual, and caring of even the most fragile of items. I could not recommend them more. Best decision I’ve made.
Great job!
Big thanks to Ilbert, Alex, Fredy, and Juan! They were careful and quick with our move. Super friendly and super helpful. We'll be going with SOS Moving for our future moves in the area. 10/10
They made the hassle of moving way less stressful! Ilbert, Alex, Fredy, and Juan were our team today, and they were fantastic. They were thorough with the entire process and very careful with our items. I've never seen a moving team move so quickly and efficiently! Top notch work.
Great experience with SOS Moving today. Ilvert, Alex, and Juan were kind, quick, and very competent. Took apart and reassembled furniture. Transported everything well, with everything intact. Very impressed. We've used SOS moving before and we'll use them in the future.
SOS was amazing! My first time using this company. When we move again, we will request Ilbert and his team. They were fast, efficient and punctual. 10 stars!!!!!!
Armando and crew were awesome! Super efficient and took great care of our stuff. Would recommend!
Talk about the DREAM TEAM!!! I use three exclamation points because Ilbert, Dim, and Tiago each deserve their own! I can’t say enough amazing things about SOS Movers and the hard-working, diligent, professional moving crew members they dispatched for me. From the beginning my experience was pleasant even when I…
Ilbert and his team were excellent! They came on time, were efficient in packing and moving our apartment, and were extremely friendly. Would definitely recommend!
My move overview: 1 bedroom; hired 2 movers with 1 truck. Move from the Valley to Downtown LA. I packed 90% of the items myself into boxes, taped and clearly labeled. The move was from the 1st floor apartment unit to the 4th floor unit. I ended up tipping 25% cash. The Good: good communication prior to moving…
So glad we got this referral before we moved! Armando and his guys were awesome. We couldnt have asked for a better experience!
