"I was very pleased with the staff who was very friendly and helpful in helping me to select the right size storage space for me. They even explained the benefit of me earning a free month of service on the storage space that I'm using. It turned out fine, the worksite is easily accessible and the security system is just fine."
"The staff at Uncle Bob's [Life Storage] was very helpful and accommodating to us. We needed a place to store most of our belongings after a fire and the assistance we were given was truly helpful."
"The employees that I met were Monica and Lawrence. They both were very nice and helpful. I'd definitely recommend this facility to friends and family. All of my questions were answered. "
"Lawrence is one the most professional people I have met in all my seventy years he was not only helpful but went out of his way to help, when he saw me on the monitor he met me half way with the cart I needed, you have found a real dedicated person in Lawrence I can't think of a better person you could have in that position.
Keep up the good work

"The place is very well kept and the initial gentlemen who signed me up was excellent, but the lady who is now in the office on north Austin is not a good person to have in the office, even if she is the owner or his wife, i don't care she was rude and she lied but hopely i will be leaving soon. The facility is very nice and in general the place is a very nice place to store your items..."
