Southbay Moving Systems - Salinas

Maribeth Gunderman, Sales Manager at Southbay Moving Systems, is a rare find in the business world – superbly competent, kind and patient. My move involved several destinations, rescheduling three times, along with my remote location and difficult driveway access. Ms. Gunderman knew exactly how to handle all of it, often assuring me of Southbay’s experience and expertise. A part of me was skeptical of her promises until her management and the excellent crew who did the work performed above and beyond what she had led me to expect. As a business owner myself, it often occurred to me that Ms. Gunderman is an absolutely invaluable asset to the company. Southbay Moving delivered perfect service with the true caring and attention to detail that we middle-aged folk have come to believe is a thing of the past. At Southbay it is NOT! The moving crew also brought competence and caring. They were personable, and worked more quickly than any crew I’ve ever seen. (I’ve moved across the country six times.) They are not just guys the company picks up, but long-term employees. It shows. I would recommend Southbay Moving Systems for any moving job. Maribeth truly understands how stressful moving is. She not only managed the move but also "managed" my stress, not with empty promises and platitudes, but with an explicit plan, down to the smallest detail and a crew capable of delivering on them. I could have asked for nothing more. She actually made moving almost enjoyable!

We had an outstanding experience with South Bay Movers during our move from the San Francisco Bay Area to New York. A huge thank you to Miguel, Jose, and Mike for making what could have been a very stressful move feel smooth and well-managed from start to finish. The team was professional, punctual, and extremely careful with our belongings. They handled everything with attention to detail, clear communication, and a great attitude throughout the entire process. Nothing was rushed, nothing was careless, and they consistently checked in to make sure things were done exactly the way we wanted. Long-distance moves require trust, and Miguel, Jose, and Mike absolutely delivered. Our items arrived on time and in great condition, and their teamwork and work ethic really stood out. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional moving company with people who genuinely care about doing the job right, I highly recommend South Bay Movers and especially this crew. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

I want to emphasize right off the bat—Southbay is the real deal. Their team, from the admin office to the field, treated my property with the utmost care and professionalism. "Shout Outs" Maribeth G., Admin Office - She was incredibly helpful in scheduling our end-of-year move, managing tight constraints like a pro. Peter M. and His Team - Their careful packing ensured that not a single item was damaged out of the 17,000 pounds moved from our 2,500 square foot home. Derek and Nancy - A fantastic transport team who handled our cross-country move from CA to VA with punctuality and professionalism. Having served 20 years in the US Navy and experienced numerous PCS moves, I can confidently say that Southbay has provided the best service we've ever had. Unlike other companies, Southbay manages your entire moving process internally, ensuring quality and accountability. The dedication to excellence from every team member and the direct involvement of the company owner made a significant difference. They truly listened to our concerns and tailored their services to meet our needs. Bottom Line: For any future moves within the US, Southbay will be my first call. A heartfelt thank you to Maribeth, Peter, Derek, and Nancy for making this move a joyful experience for my family and especially for bringing a smile to my wife's face after many challenging moves. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Southbay Team! Arthur Stone 🙂

This moving company was absolutely awesome! The team was professional, efficient, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. They truly work with you in every way possible to make the move smooth and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend them to anyone! I will definitely work with them again no questions asked.

I had lived in the same location for over 27 years and was completely unprepared for the moving experience. My Southbay Moving coordinator was Maribeth Gunderman and she was a lifesaver. I needed guidance every step of the way and she was always patient and helpful whenever I was overwhelmed. She rescheduled my move for me several times when I ran into complications with relocating out of state, always providing options where she could help me get past each obstacle. The moving crew was professional, helpful, and efficient and got my possessions where they needed to be with little difficulty. But mostly, I cannot say enough good things about Maribeth Gunderman. Whenever I needed to be talked through a moving crisis, she was there to listen and help until I was ready to move on, and ultimately, we got it done. Many thanks.
