DOT #: 2911596
Years in Business: 8
3416 S 48th St Suite 3, Phoenix, AZ 85040 USMoving with Mentors Moving & Storage means working with a crew known for speed, professionalism, and careful handling of items. Out of 126 feedback entries analyzed, nearly 89% highlight efficiency, courteous attitudes, communication, punctual arrivals, and gentle treatment of clients' property. Customers appreciate clear quotes, timely updates, and a team that hustles without sacrificing caution. On the downside, a handful of critical input centers on lost or broken belongings, much higher final charges compared to estimates, and difficulty resolving complaints when issues arise. A few cases mention substantial damages and lack of meaningful company response. These negatives are far less frequent compared to most moving companies in the same category. Most clients recommend Mentors for reliable, fast, and careful movesโbut those with high-value or fragile items should double-check insurance coverage and written estimates.

4.72 / 5
DOT #: 2527384
Years in Business: 19
1916 S. Gilbert Road Suite 2, Mesa, AZ 85204 USMoving made easy is more than a slogan at Two Men and a Truckโthe majority of the 306 customer reviews, 75.8%, praise fast, careful service and professional staff. People consistently highlight the crew's efficiency, politeness, gentle handling of belongings, speedy moving, and clear updates during the process. Many say their moves finished ahead of schedule, with flexible scheduling and straightforward communication. A small portion of feedback, 22.9%, report significant issues: property damage, lost or broken items, and long delays. Complaints also center on late arrivals and some staff acting unprofessionally, especially on high-stress days. The company's positive ratings and frequent repeat customers set them apart from many moving companies, but serious mishaps and frustrating damage claims prove they aren't flawless. For most, moves with this team are smooth, organized, and stress-reducing, but those with delicate belongings or tight timelines should confirm details upfront and supervise closely for peace of mind.
