After calling a couple of other movers who didn't return calls, I got ahold of Ryan. I can't say enough about his customer service, responsiveness, and attention to detail.
Motivated Movers was absolutely great to work with. I had to change the move date several times, and they were courteous and helpful. They called the day before to confirm, then carefully wrapped and moved everything.

Motivated Movers was absolutely great to work with. I had to change the move date several times, and they were courteous and helpful. They called the day before to confirm, then carefully wrapped and moved everything.
Jakory and Josh were excellent. They were friendly, professional, arrived earlier than expected, and completed the move in a very timely manner.
Negative Motivated Movers, Inc. Reviews
Yelp
The movers arrived on time, but most items were scratched or dented because the furniture was not secured properly. I sent photos within 48 hours and received no response after two weeks.
The movers called after 5 p.m. to say they were too tired to continue. Management took nearly an hour to return calls and could not provide accurate arrival information.
The owner accused me of looking down on blue-collar workers during a disagreement about missing bubble wrap. Two movers spent 30–45 minutes finding supplies, and I would not use the company again.
