Negative Louie’s Central Coast Movers Reviews
They arrived an hour later than the time they gave. Total cost was over 1200$ more than what was quoted to us. When I called for an itemized description of additional costs, they did not provide one.
Yelp
Nice guys but don't expect them to be on time. I had a full day planned and that went out the window. Spent 3 hours waiting. No apologies.
Yelp
I was misled to believe that it would take 3 men 3 hours and I was charged for two men, then three men and it took 7 hours.
