he spoke to kevin brassler with this advice. >> kevin brassler is the executive editor for bay area consumer's. he joins me in the studio with some tips. how do you find the right moving company? >> use our ratings. we've evaluated local movers here in the bay area for quality by surveying their customers. we've also evaluated them for price. we came up with kind of hypothetical moves and asked them to quote prices for our very kind of carefully specified hypothetical local and long distance moves. >> were there wide differences in costs? >> massive differences in costs. we found that some moving companies charge thousands of dollars more than others for the exact same move. you say, yeah, but the moving company that has the lowest price, you might want to avoid them because they don't do good work. that's not true at all. we found overwhelmingly there's no price/quality relationship. and it's a pain, but you really do need movers to come out, check out what you have and give you a price quote in writing, because often the low priced movers do just as good of work as the high-priced movers. th
