"John was fantastic! So nice and helpful. It was a huge + for us to be able to use the truck for free to move in and for the small charge to move out. The space was clean, easy to access, and perfect for our purposes. We will definitely recommend to our friends and will use again if we need a storage spot. "

"My check-in process with John was a standout example of customer service. He took time to explain everything, answer all my questions, and did additional research when I had questions to which he didn't already have the answers. He did all this in a friendly, relaxed manner that took all the stress out of moving and storage. That's pretty amazing. Thank you!"

"I have stored belonging in several places in the Triangle area and Uncle Bob's was by far the most pleasurable experience I've ever had with a storage company. From the initial phone call to clearing out the unit, I was blown away by the kindness and thoroughness of the staff. Everyone I came in contact with made a personal connection while remaining absolutely professional. I would one hundred times over recommend friends and family to use Uncle Bob's storage units. "
