"
" Lisa was fantastic. She showed me all the reasons why I should choose Uncle Bob's over the many nearby competitors. She was very knowledgeable, very professional and honest. Everything she explained about the process was 100% accurate. I was very pleased - I thought it would be a real pain; but it wasn't at all. I was so impressed; I referred my father. He shopped around and still choose Uncle Bobs on Gateway in Auburn."
"We used a climate controlled space to store furniture while we were building a house. We were very pleased with our dealings with Uncle Bob's. In fact, we now rent a space at the Uncle Bob's on Pepperell Parkway to store a trailer. Again, we are very pleased with our dealings there."
"I have been there since 2008, and I have always been treated great. My credit card expired, they called me and took it over the phone. When I moved out, they were so helpful, the young lady in the front office was fantastic and so pleaseant. She needs a raise. Best service I have had ANYWHERE. "
"I am answering for my daughter- I am actually the payer- who has had 2 Uncle Bob's rental contracts while attending Auburn University. In both experiences, the service, staff and online screens have been top-flight! As she will graduate in May of 2014 and relocate, there may be storage needs; doubtless we will be calling Uncle Bob's again based on our extremely positive treatment. Thank you for making college living easier!"
