College Muscle Moving Co.

"I try to use local vendors whenever possible. I I wrote a 1-star review of College Muscle Movers because the positive reviews do not accurately reflect how this business is actually run. I feel cheated in my dealings with College Muscle Movers because the owner Robert chooses to corners (ie, no liability coverage) to minimize his cost of doing business. The BUREAU OF HOUSEHOLD GODDS AND SERVICES opened an investigation that College Muscle Movers DOES NOT comply with regulations for a "mover for hire" to haul household goods on in State of California. I filed a complaint when Acting in good faith, I hired Robert and College Muscle Movers for $2088 for a two day move that involved one day to pack my household goods in Lodi remaining c and another day to move everything to Modesto and unpack, That was my FIRST mistake. Robert and the crew he brought to pack DID NOT label all if the boxes correctly, and we spent several weeks after the move still figuring out what was missing. Furthermore, Furthermore, I discovered household goods like lamps and kitchen appliances were broken during the move. I tried to follow up with Robert after the move about these issues, but several calls to Robert did not get any meaningful response. The BIGGEST mistake was to let Robert disassemble my queen adjustable bed because he could not put it back it correctly after the move. I didn't get any response from Robert almost a month after the move whether College Muscle would fix the broken bed. So, I finally resorted to spending almost $1000 out of my own pocket to replace the ruined adjustable base so I could at least get a good night's rest after all the trouble that I consider Robert and his crew at College Muscle were responsible for all of the mishaps that occurred. Considering that the cost of the new adjustable base was almost 50% more than what Robert originally estimated to perform the move from from Lodi to Modesto, I could have easily saved money by just going with a professional mover like Wheaton (whom I have used for longer distance moves). I l found out later that College Muscle Movers DOES NOT even have the necessary US DOT and Carrier ID licenses required by the State of Califora for a "mover for hire" to haul household goods. The US DOT and CalifornizCarrier ID licenses include a requirement that a "mover for hire" carry liability insurance and a bond. So I filed a complaint with the California BUREAU OF HOUSEOLD GOODS that College Movers is operating ILLEGALLY as a "mover" for hire" in the State of California;"

"What an unprofessional experience it was dealing with the guy I just delt with at almost 10pm this evening. Heavier set guy driving a black truck, large enclosed black cargo trailer. I dont feel as if it's ok to raise your voice and disrespect someone who runs a business, is asking why you are on the property so late, who you are, and explaining the facility rules for future reference. I could barely finish a sentence as this guy continued to interrupt and get louder. I have heard quite a few complaints about this College Muscle Moving Co but had never experienced it for myself... I cant say that anymore... I do not appreciate this guy yelling at me because they cannot prioritize their time and move their "clients" items into a storage unit within the authorized access hours. I will not recommend them to anyone nor will they be allowed in here again. Also, the footage of the "mover" squealing out of the parking lot at a high rate of speed while the brewery next door has a function going on was dangerous, ridiculous and unnecessary. Two people came over to see what was going on. No referrals here folks!"

"Robert and his team were awesome! They were highly recommended and did not disappoint. My items were handled with care and moved quickly and safely!"

"I’ve used Robert and his crew several times for moving, dump runs, etc. And I am always impressed by how polite and friendly all of the crew are. Moving isn’t easy, but they make it almost stress free and fun! Robert is always quick to respond to my request which is so nice to have someone that’s dependable and seems to always fit me in his schedule. They are very efficient too with having plenty of movers and trucks to get the job done quickly. I am happy to recommend them to anyone. Thank you Robert and crew for all you do."

"I hired Robert and his crew to move me. I cannot say enough good about them. They were professional, their experience was obvious , they treated my furniture and household items as if they were their own, and they were extremely careful. They put moving pads on the door casing and the wall at the bottom of the stairs. Because of they went the extra mile to prevent damage, I did not have even one ding or mark on my walls. I did not have one broken or damaged item. That is always my biggest concern when moving and because of the care they took, I did not have to worry at all. In addition to moving my furniture and household items, they hauled away everything that I no longer wanted or needed. If you are planning a move in the future I highly, highly recommend this company. You won’t regret hiring them."
