"I couldn't be more thankful for all the assistance Eric, the manager, provided me on my move to Arizona. When I realized I needed a larger unit, he was able to reserve one until I arrived. This move was filled with unexpected circumstances to say the least! Eric was professional, prepared, extremely helpful, and provided excellent customer service. Thank you Eric!"
"The manager at this location #488 was polite , professional and extremely helpful.
He’s the best manager this location and we’re thankful for having him !!!"
"An amazingly secure and super clean facility. The on- site manager, Eric, always goes above and beyond to help with any issue we might have, totally recommend this facility!"
"Eric was incredibly helpful and flexible with me when I got my storage unit. He really explained everything to me in detail to make sure I understood it. Great experience."
"My new friend Eric at the Tatum/union Hills location let me in to shred a ton and helped me carry too many crates inside. Got some water and watched him be welcoming to the other guests there. So great"
"I would give them a 9 out of 10 - Very polite and follow through but they require insurance on the units and did not tell me that until I was standing at the counter! This created an issue as I had to pay for a month for what my and most Homeowners policies cover!"
"Eric was very helpful very detailed and is working very hard to make everyday there a better day than last whether that be with keeping it clean or helping with holding a door"
"I had an appointment for 2pm and was able to get over there in the am. Eric was pleased to help us. He was amazing and helpful sharing details to make our move easy and more pleasant. I was so happy everything when extremely smooth and quick. This is the best moving storage experience I have ever had. I am very please with how organized Eric is. I pray he is there for a long time. You Rock Eric!

"Life Storage treated us well. I appreciate Tom’s help getting everything wrapped up as we moved out. If we need storage again in the future, we will be back!"
"Jay is AMAZING! I needed to upgrade my unit to a larger one. He was so helpful and so kind. This storage unit is spotless. Customer service was absolutely on point. Thank you Jay for all of your help. You are wonderful!!"
"Amy was terrific. She is very friendly and made the rental process very easy and answered all my questions. Life storage is lucky to have Amy in the front!!"
"I chose life storage mainly bc of the proximity to my house. However from day one it has always been a great experience. The easy access and cleanliness of the building are on point. And the manager Dan is so friendly and helpful. Thanks Dan!"
"I stored my belongings with Life Storage a couple different times. Overall, both times, I had a good experience. This most recent time, Dan, the storage manager, was most fabulous to work with. He made the move out process so easy. I gave 4/5 stars simply for the price, I had signed up at $112, and it was raised to $150+. Therefore, I decided to pull my stuff from the unit. However, great access, very clean, would recommend."
"I had the best experience working with a client to empty out her large storage to move to a smaller one and Dan was the most wonderful man so there goes the saying Dan the man ,I can’t thank him enough for all his help his kindness . I am so over joyed to see a man with such joy kindness and what a sense of humor he has thank you Dan for all you helped us with today yesterday and the day before five stars should really mean 10."
"Taking the time to thank Dan at store 488 for his top notch assistance and his knowledgeable expertise and subjects of packing and storage. It was an awesome easy going experience I was out within 15 minutes. Thank you Dan at store 488!"
"Dan the store manager was great. He helped me with coordinating a delivery from another state, unpacking the crate, and getting the items to the unit. He even had tools we needed to disassemble the crate so it would fit into the unit. Incredible service and a great person!!!"
"Dan is extraordinary at making you feel comfortable when welcoming you in and had exceptional customer service when explaining all the details we needed to know!"
"Tausha was super helpful, friendly and professional. She helped us find a great storage option on the fly while our movers were between trips and provided excellent customer service and support the entire time. Thank you for hiring great people like Tausha!!"
"Tausha Casias the store manager at 18625 N. Tatum ,Phoenix…is WONDERFUL. She is helpful, kind, caring, efficient and knowledgeable…excellent people skills! We recommend this location because of Tausha!
Pat Johnson"
"It was very convenient to reserve a spot at Life Storage on Tatum. I appreciate getting a unit with air conditioning at such a great value. I also appreciate being able to use the van to move my furnishings. The staff is friendly and accommodating!"
"The only bad review I have for this place is the lie of the emergency number.
During mid packing I got locked out on accident with my unit wide open and keys inside.
My child and I were left stranded outside with no way to get to our home since my keys were inside for once.
Called the emergency number only to be placed on hold for what would never be answered. This is unsafe and wrong for any customers who may be behind on time."
"After having an awful experience with Public Storage down the street, we contacted Life Storage and Tausha was wonderful in helping us out. She rented me the space I needed for a reasonable price. Not only are the units clean (physically and didn't smell), but all the units have large roll up doors to make placing my items into storage much easier. Save yourself the trouble and rent from Life Storage....it was a much more pleasurable experience!"
"Taush was absolutely amazing. Her customer service was beyond amazing. The facility was always clean and well kept.I recommend THIS location 1 million times over."
"We appreciate the business location being close to our residence; and also for Life Storage facilities to be well managed at our location, for for all their facilities to be so well-equipped. This is a great choice when you want reasonable costs but not at a bargain-basement service level. It's a sustained great experience for us!"
"I needed a storage space day-of, and right from my initial call I was served by friendly, helpful and very professional staff. Mike assisted me in reserving a space and made sure to answer any possible questions I might have before the call concluded. At the Tatum and Bell location itself, I was greeted and helped by Tausha who went out of her way to answer a unique question and ensure I got the space that was perfect for me. By far the best storage space experience I’ve ever had!"
"I have been very happy with this storage facility. The staff is nice and helpful, the office is neat and clean and the units are secure and also easily accessible for my needs."
"I’m in the process of moving and this store is in my area so I reached out to get prices and sizes and Tausha was able to answer all my questions. Will definitely be checking out the property when I reach Arizona."
"Great service, fast, efficient, and every thing was in order the day it was supposed to be. The free truck was not available the day I needed it but the rep found another one at a nearby location and offered it to me. I appreciated the extra effort to go above and beyond. Facility is clean and convenient."
"Had a wonderful experience with Taush she was so helpful and had such great customer service! I will definitely send anyone I know to you thanks again for all your help!"
"Great location , easy access to beautiful clean space. Safe secure and great price. Thank you Tausha You are a true professional. So friendly and explains everything quickly. YOU ROCK Tausha !!
~ thank you Blake and Dee Dee"
"Great experience becoming a new customer today. Easy to reserve the unit on the phone, pretty straightforward billing practices. Site is very clean. Manager is friendly and helpful. Great location!"
"This is my 2nd time renting from this facilit. Tausha was extremely friendly and accommodating and I was lucky enough to get my previously rented unit again."
"Incredibly friendly and helpful. Tausha even took a late lunch just so she could spend some extra time talking things through with me. The place is clean and secure convenient and a good price for climate controlled storage space!"
"Just leased a storage unit at Life Storage. The units and building were clean and secure. Large moving dollies are provided to help get items from your car to your unit.
Great location close to the 101 and Tatum. It is a little awkward if you come from the 101 because you can't do a left turn into the parking area.
Was very pleased with Paul and his staff."
"It was a train wreck of a process taking me all day to try and set up. Knowing I needed 18 wheeler access they set me up at a premium of a cost compared to other locations. When I went to sign they couldn't offer what they said. I then get a follow up call from them pretty much telling me I'll just need to sort it out for myself from there. After that I got another call back saying she was sorry for the way the call went and she would sort it out. That didn't happen either and I am now backed against the wall and have to get a place 20 miles out. Poor service through the whole experience only to be ignored when it was time for them to fix there errors. I would stay away."
"Paul is great! Super professional and courteous. Helped us with all details for units. Everything is very clean. He even gave us complimentary cold water while we waited for truck to move in. Could not recommend enough. 5 stars."
"I love life storage!! I always have issues paying my rent on time, yikes and I'm a pain! But Paul the guy that works in the office never looses his cool and always directs me in the right direction. He's so helpful! And I have been renting for years, haha poor guy. But Paul does whatever he can to help me through it and keeps my stress level down. He's the BEST!! He should get a raise for being such a rockstar! Paul if you read this, you're a rockstar! Thank you so much"
"Love this location! The management team is wonderful and helpful, with a special thanks to Paul who always make some feel welcome!
The property is well maintained, feels safe and easily accessible! Wish I had found them sooner!"
"Paul is the best manager this location has ever had! He is professional, thorough and considerate. He keeps the premises clean and inviting. I never worry about my stored possessions here under his watchful eye."
"Paul is awesome. I rented a space a few months ago in the shape of a pizza slice. we laugh because it is a corner space and I was able to get a really kind deal at the time due to its non-popular request. ever since every time I see Paul around the facility he always laughed and we joke about it and he is always friendly which makes the experience better because people remember you by name. I just recently did a upgrade to a bigger unit because I need more space and luckily I chose a really good day as Paul made the transition super smooth and was extremely kind and helpful in making the best decision for payment and moving to another storage facility with easier access.
I would highly recommend Life storage on Tatum and I hope all employees of the company are as amazing, friendly caring and genuine as Paul is."
"I came in looking for a space and Paul was exceptional and helpful. We found a Slice of "pizza" together that has been awesome until I needed more space. (the corner unit and trust me we have laughed each time I come in and he remembers me and says hello when working on units etc.) Not -- a literal slice lol.
So he recently worked with me on upgrade and made it smooth, simple and efficient. Now I am on the 1st floor v the basement with easier access to my unit. I appreciate customer service that is top notch as I own my own business--Paul is awesome. Beyond greatful for the experience."
"This facility is the best. Clean. Not so busy. Great staff, especially Paul who is super helpful. We use this for business and personal stuff and access is very easy but also secure."
"I came in looking for information about storage units for my mother. Kerry was very informative and patient with all my questions. Will recommend this place for my mom and everyone else!!"
"The facility was clean and safe. We had easy access whenever I needed it the lock system worked great there was always plenty of carts and all the equipment I needed to move stuff. It was an excellent overall experience."
"We used Life Storage for about 6 months to keep some of our miscellaneous items out of our way until we got a bigger living space. It was a fantastic experience that went smoothly from start to finish. We wanted a place that was climate controlled since summer was approaching and not only are these units held at a nice temperature, the facility is super clean for a storage place!
After looking at some pricing online, we came in to get our account set up. The guy working (who I believe was the manager but his name is escaping me) was so friendly and genuinely knowledgable. He wasn't pushy at all trying to sell us, just provided information and his recommendation if we needed one. He showed us to our unit, made sure our lock worked, gave us a rundown on the facility and offered us water.
You have a personal code for main door entry and then of course a key on your own unit. You must purchase a lock yourself but they have some available for purchase which are great. They also have several carts available at both entrances for your use.
When it came time to vacate, all we had to do was sign a paper after emptying the unit and we were on our way. Our items honestly didn't even look like they had been in storage. I would definitely return to this location if I had any additional storage needs and recommend it!"
"We were in need of a bigger unit and there were none available. Paul called us right away and helped us find exactly what we needed. Paul ROCKS!!! Thanks Paul!!"
"All the staff that I interacted with went above and beyond my highest expectations. Paul was extremely helpful both at the beginning and end of my storage rental. I will definitely recommend Life Storage to everyone and won’t hesitate to come back if my needs require it."
"With all of the storage centers going up and all that alot of people have no idea where to go or what's a good price and what's a rip off. I can say with this storage facility all of that wasn't a issue. They were very nice and helpful with all of my questions and concerns. They made sure I had the correct storage and made it very easy. Highly recommend 4 stars..."
"We needed a secure facility to store most of our furniture and household items before moving out of state. Paul and his team here took great care of us. We felt our items were very secure at this facility. In addition to the surveillance cameras, it seemed like the people working here really kept an eye on what was going on when they were there. We were not able to move everything from our home to storage at one time, so their moving van was a huge help on the last day for the remaining items. We made several trips to our unit selling furniture, rearranging, and repacking. They always had carts available for our use and they had room for our 26 foot moving truck. Thank you Paul and the rest of your team!"
"This Life Storage is spotlessly clean and it smells good. Paul is such a great guy and manages this facility. He is very professional and courteous. He always makes sure to bring me a water bottle when I'm loading or unloading on a hot day. Thanks Paul, for being so nice!"
"Clean, gated, secured. Newer property. Heated and Air Conditioned. Easy access. Nice employees. One negative is that they do not have anywhere to put trash and empty boxes."
"I ended up here in an emergency situation. I knew that the facility was fairly new and probably pretty clean and it was. I picked a size of unit I thought would work but came racing back over the morning of my move after realizing I picked a size too small. They accommodated me very well though I could not get a unit on the first floor.
Cons - pretty pricey. I was told by someone who works there it is like real estate. Location, location, location. This storage facility is in a good area so it has higher than average rental prices. Also, the elevator is slow so if you can't get the 1st floor then moving a lot of stuff can take some time. Costly if you are using movers.
Pros - I was always treated very well especially by the manager. They are fair, will try to help if within reason. The place is clean, no bugs, no smells. Overall I felt my property was safe while it was here!"
"I have used many storage units in 3 different states and the Life Storage location on N Tatum Blvd in Phoenix was the cleanest and most secure I have ever seen."

"We used the Life storage store on Tatum Blvd. in Phoenix, store number 488.
Paul Broker and Veronica were very helpful in helping us select our unit. They were friendly, and very honest with the numbers and made the experience very simple and easy."
"What a great experience! Paul was so helpful making sure I found the right size spot for my things! I had no clue! He really knows his business well! More impressive is walking into the facility, wait for it...it's spotless! I've stayed in expensive hotels that weren't as nice as this life Storage location! I know my furniture is in a great place won't be subject to any wear and tear due to the wonderful air conditioning and the way Paul keeps the place! And did I mention the price was reasonable...so impressed!"
"As noted in the survey, I was impressed with how clean the facility appeared no matter when I went in to access my storage unit. All of the employees I came in contact with were professional and helpful. I would definitely use your facility again if I ever have the need."
"I needed to do several things online, and Paul was ready and willing to do whatever it took to get it done.
He was polite, friendly, knowledgeable, and didn't make me feel stupid!!!"
"The staff answered my questions on the phone and when I came into rent they made it easy, gave me additional info and most importantly didn’t change what I was told on the phone."
"Very impressed with everyone I've dealt with and even more impressed with the cleanliness of the facility. Never worry about the security or anything else concerning the contents of our belongings here. Thank you! One less thing to worry about."
"My only complaint is that when I made my reservation over the phone, the girl said I was going to be on the first floor, turns out that meant the basement. I ended up switching for the same amount of money, which was wonderful, but that did cause some confusion. "
"I rarely will ever complete a survey like this unless I am truly "wow'd". Your facility is very clean and I have had such a positive experience with you."
"We have had a great experience. Justin was very knowledgeable and helpful. I like that the storage facility is very clean. No problems. Best storage facility I have used. Thank you"
"I had lost the keys to my storage unit and the manager took control of the situation immediately. He arranged for a new lock to be put on unit with new keys. He did this so quickly and efficiently I was extremely impressed with his professionalism, quick action and personal attention. He eliminated much stress from my life!!"
"Uncle Bob's is not the only storage facility we've used. Uncle Bob's was very fairly priced, and their rental start and stop agreements were great. Uncle Bob's was easy to do business with.
"
"at time of rental , we were advised you receive "free truck rental" it wasn't till after I paid and agreed that the office rep gave me calendar to review for rental availability - the truck wasn't available for 2 weeks- would have been nice if that information was given BEFORE I had rented storage as I didn't save any money by having the free truck as advertised - also the rep should have pointed out key points in the rental agreement rather than when you had issues later using the " it was in your agreement " that is customer service , it is called covering your bases. Customer service/satisfaction is making sure your customers understand the agreement and you have pointed out the key points. For example advising when you are moving out - how your rent will be calculated , we moved out a couple days into the month but charged for the month in whole- because we didn't give 7 day notice. Also had issue with the lock and because I signed the agreement , my "
"Unit was what we were looking for. We shopped around near our house & this facility was the best. The person there sold us on this is where we needed to be"
"I had never used a storage facility and only researched online and then followed up with calls. Your place was amazing, as it looked like an office building, rather than a storage facility."
"The service at the Tatum location was exceptional. Will highly recommend Uncle Bob's as a result. The only issue at all is tight parking. Great storage solution overall."
"The gentleman on the phone was fabulous as I was inquiring about your new facility on Tatum. I was then referred to a wonderful woman- who helped tremendously with the entire process."
"The office staff was very friendly and professional. The storage unit area is very clean and pleasant. The area feels extremely secure, which I appreciate since most times I come alone. Having the carts available makes moving items very easy for me, which I greatly appreciate. I'm a new customer, and so far I love Uncle Bob's [Life Storage]!"
"tHESE YOUNG LADIES KNOW WHAT CUSTOMER SERVICE IS. GREAT JOB. Uncle Bob [Life Storage] IS LUCKY TO HAVE THESE GIRLS AS EMPLOYEES.
GREAT JOB, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE."
