DO NOT USE COLLEGE HUNKS!!!!!!!! THEY LIE AND CHARGE EXTRA!!!!! i provided 2 dozen moving blankets & multiple rolls of packing wrap. they refused to wrap all items!! it “would take too long” then they take furniture apart WITHOUT asking permission when they take it out to the truck. they told me AFTER the fact they took things apart inside the truck that didn’t need to be taken apart. SO MANY of my items were damaged. $5,000 in furniture and items damaged. and they LIED and said i provided no packing materials. denied my insurance claim entirely. DO NOT USE THEM!!!!!!!

The guys who came out were friendly and efficient. Unfortunately we had a miscommunication error about which furniture was to be protected during the move resulting in our $6000 bedroom set being damaged. While attempting to discuss this with Milwaukee franchise owner Justin, we were consistently spoken over, told that it didn’t matter what was said if the paperwork we signed didn’t reflect it (legally true, very poor customer service), told we had gotten the movers fired due to our issue, and eventually hung up on. He did offer to refund travel charge which was appreciated, but the conversation we had with him was one of the most insane and unprofessional interactions I’ve had. I would strongly recommend avoiding the Milwaukee/West Allis college hunks franchise.

Use the Macomb County location if you do not care at all about your walls. I just had my walls painted. The crew neglected to use padding to protect the walk ways. The crew neglected to lift the couch over the half wall and smashed it through, causing damage in 5 areas. The company tried to rectify by sending a repair vendor, who made it worse. I had to pay my own contractor to fix the damage and repaint. The kicker was on the day of (don't book them for a Sunday) the company tried to come early, several times. I wasn't available. Then at the scheduled time, the crew got held up. I was told a different crew would be on the way. I had a bad feeling, and communicated that I would prefer to wait for the initial crew scheduled. The secondary crew arrived and was not even the crew for junk removal. I asked the company to pay for the repair and was declined. This company must pay to remove bad reviews from google. NOT 5 stars. Before & after pictures & walk way used attached.

When truck first arrived, there was junk in truck from another customer. Once the truck was full they headed out to dump the junk. However, I found out they had to take it to Grand Blanc (50 miles away) to dump the load. I love in Livonia. They arrived back and filled the truck with "almost" all of the remaining junk. If the truck were empty when they first arrived, everything could have been removed with 2 loads. I also hired them for moving. They did only "ok" in that department but because of my experience with the junk removal part of business, I would not recommend them for either moving or junk removal.

"[Member Name Removed], You need to know you have the wrong College Hunks Location. Please delete and post to the right location. We are based in Madison Heights and do not service Livonia. We are a franchise each independently owned. It would be like you went to a Livonia McDonalds had a bad experience and then write a bad review about the Madison Heights McDonalds. No affiliation. Can you please delete and repost to the right location? I can help you find them if need be. Thank you."

I called to make an appointment to remove a 7 person hottub from my garage. They did arrive on time, however there were only two gentleman who arrived and they were unable to put the hottub in the truck they brought. At one point, they lifted it up, but was unable to get it over the door of the truck and dropped it in the middle of my driveway causing it to break in many pieces all over. They then told me they had to go pick up another load but would be back with more crew. This left me trapped in my driveway for over an hour. I had to cancel an appointment for a massage. They did return and with the extra crew were able to get it into the truck. I then asked for them to take the wooden platform and I was told they would charge me $80. I asked if there was anyway that it could be reduced due to my inconvenience and one of the men stated "this wasn't an inconvenience. Most places don't take hot tubs". This made me very angry and I explained it was an inconvenience to me due to having to cancel an appointment. I told them to forget about the platform and then asked if they could help me clean up the debris from when they dropped the hottub. They two original gentleman did not help, but the extra crew did. I did call the office twice to lodge a complaint and I was told a supervisor would call me back, but no one did.

The company quoted the move and scheduled the pickup quickly. The hunks arrived on time. Dallas and Ray were very professional. Handled the items with extreme care, took the glass out of items and wrapped to protect. They placed the items with no problems. They charged the amount quoted....no hidden costs or extra charges. Less expensive than 2 men and a truck. I would recommend the hunks and will use them for future moves.

What a stellar experience!  From the moment they answered my phone call this was a pleasant, friendly, professional, on-the-ball experience.   They were very easy to reach, and the gal on the phone was good-humored and professional and knowledgeable.  We just moved into a new house, and had changed our minds about how we were using two rooms, so we arranged for the College Hunks (and yes, both of our hunks are in college!) to switch the furniture between the two rooms.  We also needed a few pieces of furniture moved to the basement, and some things moved to the garage.  Finally, we needed many, many boxes full of paper (from the move) hauled away.  The hunks (Connor and Noah) were right on time, very sharp, and very nice to deal with.  They were very flexible, understood exactly what I wanted and how to do it, and were very understanding when I changed my mind a time or two about where I wanted things.  They also were amazing at figuring out how to get large, awkward furniture in and out of rooms with narrow  doorways and halls.

They did everything I asked, made sure there wasn't anything else they could do (it didn't take the full two hours), and were just so good-natured and sharp, that it was a pleasant experience.  I'd hire them again in a second.  Professional, knowledgeable, hard-working, and friendly and fun--it doesn't get any better!  Five stars for Connor and Noah and the whole team!

Every now and then you use a service that you can recommend highly.  Such is our experience with College Hunks Moving & Hauling!  They were handed a VERY difficult assignment to navigate our new 1100 lb smoker up deck stairs and onto our wood deck.  Up went the smoker step by step, with these guys planning every move (they are college students after all).  It was a serious challenge and they were very considerate and hard working.  As an added bonus, they took the wood crate away for us.  The price was very reasonable.
We would absolutely do business with College Hunks again and we highly recommend using them.  Overall excellent experience.

The initial contact and their arrival went well. They gave an estimate of the job at that time to which I agreed. They successfully removed the televisions and refridgerator. However, with the couch they had a great deal of problems. Although smaller than the refridgerator, they managed to scrape the paint off 2 walls and rip the handrail from the wall. They apologized and said someone would call me about the damages. If I did not get a call, I could call their supervisor. I did not get a call. I called the supervisor. He was apologetic and said he had not heard of any damages. I offered to send photos of the damage to which he agreed and provided me with his email address. Since that contact, I have not heard anything. I have tried calling and emailing but with no response.

I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again.  The men that I talked to on the phone to schedule and confirm the appointment as well as settle on a price (I believe their names were Dan and Dave) were very courteous.
Matthew and Tommy came at the appointed time and were very nice to us.  The sofa that I wanted to remove proved to be more difficult than I anticipated.  It had to be taken apart in pieces before they could get it out the door.  However, they had the appropriate tools and took care of the job expertly.
I can sum the experience up by saying that everyone I dealt with at this company were extremely polite and efficient and I will definitely call them in the future when we need help with hauling stuff away.
