What Bakersfield Customers Say About Their Move

Rated 5 out of 5

Justin and Frank are an amazing team at Mentors Moving in Bakersfield CA. Mentors answered my call on the first ring and provided a well explained description of their services, scheduled and confirmed the project in less than 15 minutes. … The move was efficiently completed in one half day, without a single casualty.

Mary Warren
Rated 5 out of 5

Couldn’t be happier with my guys at Mentors. Have used them for moving multiple times, and just recently moved my stored belongings out from their storage warehouse after 3 years. Coolest guys ever and they genuinely care about protecting your things. Not one item has ever been damaged or lost. Best movers and storage in Bakersfield.

Bo Jones
Rated 5 out of 5

The Mentors Moving crew is very fast and efficient. We live in Frazier Park, and they were happy to accommodate us and brought the furniture all the way up here, which isn’t always the case with other moving companies.

Delaney Bever
Rated 5 out of 5

We moved from Bakersfield to Phoenix and used Mentor Movers. They were excellent. Reasonably priced, friendly, professional, clean and on time. We couldn’t ask for more and highly recommend them.

Mark Balch

We recently moved from Bakersfield to Placentia, California. Mentors Movers was amazing. Our moving team was Alex, Joel, and Eber loaded our belongings with great care and delivered the load to Placentia the next day.

This was my second time using the Bakersfield crew. The first time was fantastic. As was this move. The crew was totally different both times. They are respectful, cautious, helpful.

Long Distance Moves That Start in Kern County

Most long distance moves from Bakersfield leave the valley one of two ways: east through the Tehachapi Mountains toward Nevada, Arizona and Texas, or north toward Sacramento, Oregon and Washington. Our long distance movers plan that route and confirm pickup and delivery timing with you before loading day.

Caltrans lists State Route 58 near Tehachapi among the highways where chains are sometimes required, and vehicles over 6,500 pounds must mount chains when signs call for them. From late fall into spring we check conditions before trucks head east.

For trips south, a 2019 Caltrans flyer notes that snow and ice close I-5 over the Grapevine an average of 3 to 5 times between October and April, so winter moves to Los Angeles and San Diego get a backup route. Our intrastate movers handle every California route listed below.
