Meet the moving crew
At SafeWay Moving & Storage, our philosophy has always been, “Do the right thing.”
They’re words we live by and they exemplify the way we treat our customers and employees. And that’s the reason SafeWay has become known as trusted Orange County movers, with an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.
It has always been SafeWay Moving & Storage’s mission to strive to be the best. This means hiring the best crew, giving them the tools and moving equipment they need to make the job go faster, keeping trucks looking like new and, of course, maintaining the best possible customer service satisfaction and status as the top mover in Orange County.
The moving and storage company was founded in 2007 by Mike Marquez, who has worked in the industry since 1984. He was employed at three major carrier van lines over the years and worked his way up, learning along the way. Opportunities began to present themselves. Mike bought his first truck, a brand-new Bobtail, while out on the road.
Like many people, Mike dreamed of being his own boss someday. Even though he’s changed his job title, from worker to employer, one thing remains constant. “You’re always learning in this business,” he said.
SafeWay is a family company, with Mike’s brother Roy in sales, his daughter Renay leading the in-house activities and his son Michael Jr. learning the ropes at SafeWay after working in self-storage management earlier in his career.
The Irvine, CA, moving company has 12 professional movers on staff, and each one of them is experienced and knowledgeable about the moving industry. Some have been with the company for more than eight years. The company prides itself on treating its employees well and promoting a professional atmosphere. “When things go wrong, we make it right,” Mike said.
SafeWay has the best equipment among any Orange County movers: six state-of-the-art, custom-built, 28-foot Peterbilt moving trucks.
SafeWay is a proud agent for Wheaton World Wide Moving and can handle any move within 48 states. Safeway also offers 13,000 square feet of warehouse storage space in a modern and secure location in Lake Forest..

This is the best part, when I got to my new house, not only had they unloaded everything, they placed my furniture in each room as if I already lived there. Tv was on TV cabinet facing my couch. Chairs around dining room table AND my clothes were hanging in my closets!
I have never ever seen anything like it. It was like an interior decorator told them where to arrange things.
Mike was the guy in charge of the crew and he made the experience amazing. Yes, I just called a moving experience amazing. Mike, you are fantastic. What a pro!
Thanks!! read less









As a side note, if you are doing an interstate move, be sure to first read through the BBB online pamphlet on avoiding moving scams, particularly the introduction, as our scam went pretty much exactly how they describe:
bbb.org/content/dam/0734…
For some reason this company doesn't have any reviews on the BBB website - happy customers should leave a review there too as that is often the most reliable source! read less

I have heard the horror stories of moving so I prepared and found Safeway movers. We called a few different companies and Safeway was by far the best over the phone, most detailed, and helped my family prepare more than any other group.
Gameday: The team shows up on time, greets us and each other, did a brief walk through, and got right to work. You can see the team is friendly with each other and works great together. They have professional clean trucks they obviously take care of. They have an efficient system which saved us time and money. Everything was organized and efficient. They care for my belongings and treated us with respect.
At the new home they put the boxed and furniture in the correct room, put together correctly, and nothing was broken. We did the entire move in one day. The entire experience was fantastic. A big thank you to the entire team from the owner Mike to the lead Scott, and the rest of the guys Mike, Cody, Steve and I think another Mike. read less
