Take a look at all the good things our customers say about this Life Storage, and all of our stores! It thrills us to give customers the best customer service possible, and to hear when they are pleased with how we have taken care of their storage needs.
"This facility is clean, accessible and we have never had any issue. The office staff is professional, helpful and personable. If the need arises, I would definitely rent a unit here again."
"Sandie was fantastic. Given my unique circumstances at the time, she followed up with me every few weeks as to the availability of the unit size I needed and assured me they would be ready when our movers arrived. It was most appreciated and was one less thing I needed to worry about during what was a stressful move for my family and I. I highly recommend them."
"Sandy was so helpful and kind answering all my questions. And Jim the manager was great to work with as well. Definitely recommend Life Storage in Gilbert AZ."
"Great customer service. Sandie and Jim are very helpful and customer oriented. I will use this storage facility again when the need arises. I recommend them."
"Amazing customer service experience with assistant store manager, Sandie McGowan. She was clearly multitasking and covering multiple customer situations at once, and somehow I still felt that I had her full dedicated attention. I'm writing this and I'm still baffled by the experience I just received. I didn't think customer service like this still existed. Have this lady training every new hire for your company."
"Life storage at higley in gilbert isa great facility.very clean,organized and Jim provided excellent customer service and was very helpful with my husbandand I."
"I just rented my slot in life store the one on Higley rd in Arizona and the space was very clean, prices reasonable. Jim was there and he was very helpful and friendly, he knows what he offers inside out and helped me alot with choosing what I need."
"Great place to store some stuff! The site is super clean and climate controlled. While you can't have access to your stuff 24/7, the access hours were plentiful enough for us. Moving your stuff in and out is not so great though, especially if your unit is upstairs. There are 2 elevators, but there is limited parking near them (2 spots near each elevator). The problem is that these 2 doors also serve the lower units and are the only 2 doors in the back. I've had to park in the driveway and walk a little farther when loading/unloading our unit. This is only a minor inconvenience because there are plenty of push carts available for use, so you're not carrying anything. Overall, a really good experience and a couple more parking spots would earn the extra star."
"We love it here, and we especially appreciated the assistant manager Sandy who helped when we were struggling to close our unit and showed us what the issue was. She also brought us a few waters. Super nice and pleasant. I've had issues with other storage facilities where the workers and managers were super mean and rude. But she came up and introduced herself and was super nice."
"This wasn’t my first time renting a storage unit, but it was my first time at this location. Sandie was ABSOLUTELY wonderful. By far the best customer service hands down! The best part about the experience was Sandie made me a priority. No matter who walked through the door she focused on me and my needs. Thank you so much for great conversation and phenomenal customer service. I appreciate you!"
"Sandie was very helpful to take care of us on RV parking space. She went above and beyond the customers' needs and gave great assistance for our RV storage."
"Sandie McGowan, the associate store manager was so helpful and so nice! Made my moving super easy and honestly fun. She is definitely a people person. Such a great experience!"
"I went in search of a storage unit, and found the most AMAZING PLACE, but more importantly, I found the most amazing people. Sandie is not only professional, but is the most personable associate I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. She helped me locate the most ideal unit for our needs. She explained everything so thoroughly, and made the process so simple. She was so genuine, and that is not something you can fake. She is so caring and compassionate. We are looking forward to meeting Jim, the manager too!"
"Jim is so helpful and caring he met me and my wife needs and couldn't ask for a better guy like his self.He even went out his way to lend me a dolly 😁.Never knew how nice a person can be until you meet Jim @ Life storage. It's the best and cool temp indoor storage you can find with great help from employees."
"Had a very positive experience here. Sandi was beyond helpful!!!! She helped with everything I needed and followed up to make sure I was happy. I recommend them highly!"
"Sandie was very friendly, welcoming, efficient and helpful. She made the check-in process seamless. Facility is very nice, safe and clean. Jim is running a wonderful facility."
"Jim was great to work with! I would 10/10 recommend going to him for your storage needs. He was super professional and as friendly as can be.
Thanks again Jim!"
"Jim and Sandi are amazing! They are so friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend Life Storage in Gilbert if you ever are in need of storage space."
"Been with the storage for about 1 year, JIM &SANDIE are the just such great people! Facility is nice and clean I would've stayed longer but being jobless and rental increase is a no go at this time."
"Worked with Jim and Sandie and had an easy and enjoyable experience get a unit. Will definitely being using them anytime we need to rent a storage unit."
"Sandie and Jim have been amazing since I first reserved my unit. I have never felt that at comfortable and at home at a business. I came to sign my paperwork, and it's been better than a breeze. Thank you again for holding and securing my belongings, Sandie and Jim!!"
"Amazing customer service experience, thank you Sandie for your help! She was super fun to talk with and treated my mom (the customer) with a ton of courtesy."
"Very easy rental process with great prices. Move in and out was seamless. Very clean facility in a safe, well lit area. Customer service was excellent. Would 110% rent here again."
"Awful experience...So with numerous storage options in Gilbert I decided to give this place a try because they promise you access to a moving truck to bring your belongings over. It separated this place from the others. I get my unit and because of the holidays and acquiring Covid for about 3 weeks I wasn't able to move things into the unit right away. Called them today and asked to secure the truck to move some things over and they proceeded to want to charge me $29.99 for the truck plus .89 cents/mile. I told them the unit was empty and I hadn't had a chance to move anything over yet so I was confused about the charges since they advertised free use of the truck. They responded by telling me the truck had to be used within the first 2 weeks of getting the storage unit. News to me! Would have been nice that they told me this when I signed up. I then told them that it's very misleading to promise a truck and then go back on that promise with some arbitrary time limit on it that they never detailed. The manager then proceeded to tell me how cheap I was because I didn't want to pay the $29.99 plus mileage. At this point I told them to cancel the unit and i'll go somewhere else. I don't appreciate being misled and I'm assuming a lot of people don't like to be lied to which is why this particular location won't receive a dime from me. What put me over the top was the condescending attitude by the manager scolding me for not paying the truck charges. He should not be a manager ANYWHERE....
For the record there is huge storage unit place being built right across the street so hopefully you all will use them instead of having to deal with this manager and his awful condescending attitude...Apparently he thinks they're the only gig in town."
"Outstanding customer service! Jim, the Manager, is a pleasure to do business with; always above and beyond customer care. I would never use a different storage company! Life Storage is the BEST!"
"Jim was very helpful and friendly in assisting me with getting a storage unit. The process was quick and easy. The facility is very clean. Highly recommend!"
"It was great to have my stuff in a temperature controlled space. There’s great security at this location so I never had to be concerned about theft both for the outside and inside."
"wife and I were looking for covered storage for our RV and were able to find one at this location. We parked the RV in it's assigned spot and thought we would be secure. Came back two weeks later to find right side of coach damaged by owner of travel trailer next to ours. A little disappointing but not the fault of the storage facility. Early 2020 our coach was vandalized (1 catalytic converter stolen) and paint damage to right side of coach. A police report was filed and we were told ( by facility manager) there would be cameras installed on back side of shade structure to address the issue of a blind spot behind RV's that backed up to a wall that is only 6 feet tall and does not belong to Life Storage. It belongs to housing development behind the storage facility. Non were ever installed. Then we find out the wall on the right side of the yard is also not part of the property but is used as well by the facility but wall is actually on property of church next door. Both walls as I said are blind spots and are easy to climb over to gain access to the entire yard. End of October this year once again our coach was vandalized and this time both catalytic converters were stolen.Again a police report was filed and the officer that arrived to take our statement even asked us if we were going to continue to keep or RV there. Our answer was NO. Over 6,000 dollars of damage to our Motorhome in the course of 8 months. This storage facility is not secure and anyone who parks anything in their "SECURE" outside yard is open to theft or damage to boats, trailers, atvs, RVs or anything left there thinking you are safe. For what we were charged for our space we expected better."
"Wife and I were looking for covered storage for our RV and we were able find a spot here. Since we have been here our motor home has been vandalized twice in the span of 8 months. Both times for catalytic converters. Walls surrounding back of facility and right side of yard do not belong to Life Storage but are used as a perimeter for the “secure “ parking. Both walls are 6ft tall and very easy to climb over to have access to all vehicles stored. There are no cameras on the back side of the shade structures so basically there is a blind spot behind all of the vehicles parked there. Your valuable RV, Trailer, ATV or boat is not safe. We have removed our RV from this facility and suggest owners man up and for what they charge a little more attention should be spent on supposed security at this facility."
"Jim was fantastic to deal with. I came I late one evening close to closing time and never mentioned it or made me feel rushed. He was great to work with."
"Our process during a stressful move was too much but this place has made it a WORLD easier. Josh, the manager, was literally amazing and went above and beyond to get me two units in less than a week. Not to mention, we had four tiny humans with us and when I ran into the office terrified because I couldn’t find where my baby girl wandered off to, he was already on the cameras and said it’s okay calm down she was on the other elevator, I can see her. 😭 forever grateful because that was TERRIFYING. Recommend 10 stars!!!!"
"Absolutely FIVE stars! From the clean property and units to the professional and friendly staff! Would recommend to anyone needing storage for short or long term in Gilbert!"
"Life storage in Gilbert is amazing! Very clean and friendly environment. Dwane C is very friendly, professional from the day I rented to every time I visited the office. My daughter also rented a United a couple weeks after me! She worked with Tracy D. And Dwayne. Highly recommend this facility. Great job Dwane for running a fantastic facility and also to Tracy the assistant manager! Kudos to both and thank you for making this a great experience"
"Hours of operation are great! Easy to bring boat to and from before and after our fun. Employee was very informative when we first came over a year ago."
"Super clean storage unit, with a lot of options to chose from. But the real winner are the guys in the office, Tyler and Kevin. They really help make the process of renting a Uhaul and a storage unit super smooth, answering questions I didn't even know I would have!"
"The guys that work at this place are awesome they helped us so much! This is our first time getting storage units and we thought it would be a long process would with ton of hidden fees but this place is great! So clean, easy access, and a good price."
"Needed a storage unit somewhat last minute. This location is super close to home and I left with an awesome air conditioned unit and peace of mind knowing my stuff would be stored properly and safely! Staff was awesome and kind and so happy with my choice coming here !"
"Dwane, who helped us up front was kind, helpful and informative. He is great at explaining everything and we are happy to have chosen this place to store our things!"
"Life storage is great. Dwane the manager got me all set up and taken care of in less than 10 minutes. I was nervous, having never moved anything into storage. However, Dwane assured me all would be ok. Very affordable, and the property seems very nice. Glad I made this choice."
"All is well and I am pleased with the service you have provided as well as the privilege of being able to use your storage facility for our needs. Thank you."
"Sandie helped me and my friend get a storage unit for his stuff. She was very nice and easy to work with and seem to genuinely care about helping him save money."
"Sandie was fantastic. Got me a unit exactly what I wanted and needed. Cannot say enough nice things about her and the whole experience. Very happy with choosing this place."
"I was exhausted from a very full day of moving, but this amazingly pleasant, friendly, knowledgeable professional named Dwane Cook made me smile in spite of myself. He provided great insight and guidance and very quickly had me situated with my unit. The facility is spotless and the service exceptional."
"Very helpful staff. They made my experience pleasant and quick. I recommend this location to anyone who needs to store any of their stuff. Prices are reasonable as well."
"This is my second rental from this facility. Dwane Cook, store manager has been great both times. He is always willing to help and very informative. I will always be back when I need a storage unit and will refer friends here anytime!!!!"
"This place is awesome, with AMAZING staff! I’m pretty sure the entire staff is just as amazing. But Tracy is the guy that handled everything for us. He was VERY professional, patient, kind, and offered recommendations based on our needs. Tracy was very educational as well when it comes to practicality, space saving, etc.
We have a LARGE family, my wife & I, plus our 7 children ranging in ages 16yrs. old, down to 8 yes old (family of 9). Tracy made us feel welcome to do business, respected our time, and conducted himself professionally.
Highly recommend this place for all of your storage needs."
"Dwane Cook is the manager at Life Storage. He is extremely friendly extremely helpful and just a really good guy I would do business with him on any matter."
"Dwane and his team are amazing! I called them over the phone and had a certain space, location and size in mind. They walked me through everything and together we found an even better solution than I thought was possible."
"Great place! Clean, secure facilities with great staff! Would recommend to anyone and would go out of my way to rent a storage space at this facility if I ever needed one again. Thanks Dwane for the great experience."
"Excellent service. I have rented here since April 2020. I just switched to a different unit and the manager was very accomodating to my requests. I needed a rental van and he called another location to set the reservation. I recommend this location for many reasons. First month free rent is great too!"
"I was looking for covered Parking for my Toy Hauler. I called and Dewayne said they didn’t have any open spots at the time but I could come over and take a look at the Storage spots and place my name on a waiting list. When I went down there to look at the storage lot, I was impressed with how clean the facility was how nice the storage lot looked. Dewayne was very professional and took the time to answer my questions and show me around. This is one of the cleanest storage lots I have seen. There are only RVS, trailers, and toy haulers in the storage lot. For those who have ever rented anywhere else, this isn’t always the case. Dewayne called me this week and told me a spot opened up. Went down there to check out the spot, electronically signed paperwork and set my spot up for auto pay. Thumbs up for Life Storage and Dewayne for providing a great place to securely park my toy hauler."
"Super clean, well priced, and friendly staff. Easy access. When I moved out they noticed I had moved out and automatically closed my account for me. Highly recommend."
"Wow!! The gentlemen in the front office were super helpful. Such a smooth streamlined process. The facility is extremely clean and the spaces are very easy to access. Highly recommend this place."
"This is a beautiful air conditioned facility. Our unit is located upstairs which was accessed by an elevator. Large furniture dolly/ carts were provided to assist us in moving our belongings in. The staff was helpful and courteous. It is clean and new. The gate is accessible with a personal code provided at check in."
"The managing team at our Life Storage in Gilbert is absolutely amazing! They are outstanding at customer service and are always responsive to any inquiries I may have. It was an excellent choice to move our inventory with Life Storage!"
