"I just have to say that I was forced to get 2 storage units due to unforseen personal circumstances .. Helen was there for the most part, then a younger guy as well.. Both of them were equally friendly, helpful & cared about my situation.. That is a wonderful thing to have in the environment.. Helen was always on the job of keeping the office and grounds clean... Her little caddy cart is the best! It was great to have peo0me like that when I was going through such a chaotic time .."

"I am old 70. Retired. Fixed income. My Credit Card rolls the First Business Day of the Month. I would like to set up auto pay but I can't cope with when the First is Saturday, Sunday or a Monday Holiday as I get billed twice in the one month! It would be nice for me if you had something other than cycle 1!"

"The representatives have been absolutely great. My issue is regarding cost. I have two family members, each using different storage properties and paying $20-$30 less for a few more feet that what I am getting, that's disappointing."

"I have used Uncle Bob's twice, once at the Basile Row facility and once at the Spencer Street facility. If I needed storage in the future, I would choose Uncle Bob's. I always get great service and it's nice that you have a truck available."
