"Can’t say enough good things about Brenda & staff. They go above & beyond the call of duty to help us in any way possible. We have rented different storage units from this location for over 20 years. They were most helpful answering questions about display3d products which we purchased. Thx LS for hiring such wonderful, professional, helpful employees."
"I was treated as if they were my friend. Not like a customer, or a number. I was having a bad day until I walked through the doors of your facility. I was more than impressed with the customer service"
"I walked in - wanted to park an classic car - the storage unit was a nice fit and reasonable price. And I was told I had use of the truck - which I will be using in the near future."
"I usually work on personal business during the night, or will get out of bed after midnight. Throughout this rental, I tried to pay online and was unable to access the payment site. This is no big deal because you don't find too many people who do that. One good thig is that the staff eagerly assisted.
Thanks."
"I only traveled 6.5 miles roundtrip but had to put $20 in gas to refuel the truck, however I was told the truck was full before driving off the property. Obviously it was not!"
"It is a place of business that I personally would find to be a great place to work, because of the attitude of employees and the opportunity to help others. Great job. "
