From a recent Diamond Certified Survey Response: “They’re the best movers we’ve [used] without question. Whenever we move, we use them and request the same foreman, Mike. One time, there was no one available for a project and the owner came and did it himself. I was very impressed that he actually did that. They’re always on schedule and they make things very easy.”

Darcy Quinn: An Early Involvement

By James Florence, Diamond Certified Resource Reporter

NOVATO — Darcy Quinn has been working in the moving industry since she graduated college, but her initial involvement goes back even further. “My dad has worked for Bekins Van Lines since 1966, so I grew up around the business,” she explains. “When I was a little girl, I would go with him on weekends when he was managing office moves—he would pay me 25 cents a day to help out.

They really know the Bay Area and they got into the narrow streets of Tiburon and they knew how to manage multiple trucks. They never broke a thing.

The people are real, wholesome, honest people. My son left a big wad of cash in one of the drawers and they handed it to me saying that they were not able to move cash.

I have told many that it is personable, professional, and I have used them almost about a dozen times and they have always been a '10' out of '10'.

They are great to work with and it was easy. The crew was fabulous and they have moved me all over. I have all of my records stored with them and I have found them very easy to work with. We had a few corners we had to deal with. I am happy with them and I have been using them for a long time and I would definitely recommend them.

We discussed what had to be done and it all got done properly. Not only was I moving my office furniture, but I was moving my records as well and they were good. It was easy and no one screamed at each other. They were good guys. I have a little driveway that is not flat that they had to come up. My desk went out the back door. I would highly recommend them.

I like Bekins. They are a very well known company that our company can trust with valuable equipment. They are insured for accidents, which was a big upside for us, because mistakes do happen when moving no matter how careful you are, so the insurance was a highlight for us.

The insurance backing, we have some equipment that is over ten-thousand dollars, so that was definitely the best thing.

I have used them twice, once across the country and then another to Los Angeles. I would recommend them and I have recommended them to others. Their employees are very trustworthy and it was a great move each time.

I really liked their service. I like that this company has its own drivers and it is a family owned and operated company. The person who comes to do the estimate really knows what they are talking about. Their system really works better. I like that they assigned a good driver. A good driver makes all the difference between a good move and a bad one.
