Negative Central Coast Moving Co. Reviews
Christen Gee Celaya, Google
The phone service hung up on me. They should get a new receptionist.
They arrived an hour late. The total cost was over $1,200 more than quoted, and the company did not provide an itemized explanation for the additional charges.
Yelp
The company was three hours late. They left an item behind, charged unauthorized extras without an invoice, and did not return three calls seeking help.

I did a lot of work labeling and moving items myself. The movers did not create an inventory checklist, and wardrobe boxes were picked up nearly a month later after at least seven calls.
