"Very happy with your services. Front desk customer service and is always excellent!!!
Not happy that we cannot pay your office directly by phone any longer. Not happy that there is a service fee now added to pay by phone. Do not like automated systems. I always go in to the office at Thompson and South Bay Road to make my payments now. The girls there are terrific !!!"

"We were very satisfied. My elderly mother was stressed out and upset during her move but the associate calmed her down and treated her with kind respect. In the middle of a very unpleasant day, Uncle Bob's was the perfect combination of helpfulness and efficiency. Thank you to Uncle Bob's employees who helped my mom make the transition to her knew home. My niece recommended Uncle Bob's to me and I have already passed it on to others. Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
