Coast Transfer and Storage has been an official network agent of Mayflower since 1960. Over the past 60 years, we have built and maintained close relationships with our customers in Ventura County and beyond. Our company has always been a family business, and we take great pride in providing every customer with the best service possible.
Our story began in 1949 when Bud Bower, a World War II Veteran, started Ojai Trucking Company along with his wife, Noreen. The Bowers resided in Ojai with their four children, Diane, Dwayne, Gene, and Susan. As the family trucking company grew, they moved the business from their home office to a warehouse in Meiners Oaks and eventually to a large warehouse in Ojai. In 1962, Ojai Van Lines became an agent for Mayflower Transit. In 1978, Diane, the Bowers' daughter, purchased the business along with her husband Bill Clegg. Bill and Diane's sons, Todd and Trisha, now own and operate Coast Transfer and Storage, maintaining the family tradition of excellent service.

- "We really cannot say enough thanks to this company for all of their help and hard work during our move! Their estimate consultant was on time and helped us understand what move day would be like. They provided a moving box for our oversized television, as well as other packing materials we requested. They hardly took a break and worked through til the job was done! Unlike other moving companies we have used, they forgot nothing, worked in the time estimated, and didn't charge
Overall Quality of Service
Coast Transfer and Storage has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from customers, with several praising their professionalism, care with belongings, and excellent service.

Positive Reviews
Multiple reviewers praised the company's ability to pack and move their belongings efficiently and carefully. They also appreciated the friendly and professional staff, as well as the company's willingness to go the extra mile to make customers feel reassured. For example, one reviewer mentioned that the packers were "amazing" and took great care of their belongings.
Negative Reviews
On the other hand, there were a few negative reviews that raised concerns about the company's communication and customer service. One reviewer had not received their belongings after several months and found it difficult to get answers from the company. Another reviewer had issues with a delivery, where the company failed to provide proper paperwork and left the customer to deal with the consequences.

While some reviewers praised the company's responsiveness and communication, others had difficulty getting in touch with the company and received unclear or non-existent information. This was particularly frustrating for those who had issues with their moves.
Conclusion
Based on the reviews, Coast Transfer and Storage seems to excel in terms of the quality of their packers and movers, as well as their commitment to customer service. However, there is room for improvement in terms of communication and customer service, particularly in regards to resolving issues and keeping customers informed throughout the moving process.
