"The staff is fantastic. We have enjoyed our experience so much we shared with all of our friends and two of them recently started using Life Storage. Great place that exceeded our expectations."
"Dave and Rick where both very professional and courteous. Could not be any more pleased with my experience in working with them to obtain a storage location for my RV."
"Very kind was polite. The storage space was very clean and I feel like I don't have to worry about bugs or rodents getting in my stuff. The guy that worked with us was very friendly and the security with everything being on camera and the special locks I feel like I don't have to worry about someone taking our stuff"
"I was storing my trailer at a different location and having stored at this site before, wanted to come back because I knew how professional the team was. I was lucky there was a site available and they worked with me to reserve the spot for me for a short time until I picked up my new camper. Definitely exceeded my expectations."
"Rick did a fantastic job of taking care of me and seeing that everything that I needed was available. He couldn't have been more helpful.
I will always return to this location for my storage needs."
"I am pleasantly surprised and extremely happy so far with my storage unit! I wish it was a little cooler (climate control) for when you move in and out you get hot easily but otherwise it is a great experience! "
"I mostly worked with Rick by phone and he ALWAYS took time to explain the answers to my questions and assist me with any needs. I never worried a single minute about the security of my belongings nor did I ever concern myself about not being able to get an answer or resolve a situation when it came to working with the staff."
"I would have continued as a customer had the price not increased to $154 / mo. Other than the continuous price increases, I had no problems whatsoever during the time I rented a unit."
"My experience was outstanding. There is only one thing that I found to be somewhat frustrating. A few times when I had wanted to talk with someone the office was closed for lunch, or, they were not there for another reason. I either would have to wait until someone came back or I would have to come back at another time. No big deal.I still rate Uncle Bob's as the best and will still recommend Uncle Bob's to others. "
"The manager of the facility was extremely kind and even offered to help me move my things if I got to my storage locker and I didn't have any help because I have a bad back. He answered all of my questions and even though I ended up cancelling my need for the moving truck, he made sure to try to get the company's permission allow me to change my moving date. "
"Overall, I'd say that I was treated the way customers should be treated (but seldom are these days). The reps were friendly, curious, and explained everything thoroughly and easily. I felt like my business was important to them. "
"This was our first experience with a storage unit facility and we were very impressed with Uncle Bob's [Life Storage]. Rick and Bill were always friendly, accommodating and professional. We would not hesitate to use their facility again. We miss them already!!"
"The facility was clean and well maintained but the thing that most impressed me was the friendliness and help the staff provided. They always had a smile and a relaxed and friendly manner and were able to answer all my questions and offer any help they could. High marks for customer satisfaction in my book!!!"
"Worked with the assistant manager. Not only did he find the size space I was looking for, He made sure that it was in a building that made it as easy as possible to get the items into the space with as little difficulty as possible Thank You!!!"
"When i first leased my unit i was not impressed at all with the lack of cleanliness inside of the unit. The floor was disgusting. I had to sweep it out becore i could bring in my belongings."
"I will go out of my way to find an Uncle Bob's [Life Storage] when I need storage in the future. As a traveling consultant on a long term job I needed a place to stow my clothes & rolling kitchen. Main features I needed were 24 hour access, cleanliness, security, and within my budget. There were closer options but Uncle Bob's [Life Storage] was the only place that ticked all the boxes, plus had a really nice manager. Only improvement would be more tiny units. My unit was about 2x as big as I needed. "
"We are 110% satisfied with Uncle Bob's [Life Storage]. The facility has several surveillance cameras, fenced in, and spotless. Rick the store manager has top notch customer service. We wouldn't go anywhere else to store our camper. Thank you Uncle Bob's [Life Storage] & Rick!!!! "
"The owner/manager of the Uncle Bob's in Mechanicsburg, PA, is FANTASTIC. I can't imagine anyone being more pleasant and helpful than he was during my 6 months as a tenant. He is utterly professional, impossible not to like, and deserves a raise! "
"Rick is a very helpful and caring person he was very helpful when we needed to find storage quickly when our daughter was locked out of her home. Rick was very good at choosing a size and also checked for specials."
"I felt that all my questions were answered and the free truck rental was very helpful. I feel that my things are in a safe and clean place and I do not need to worry about them being stored there."
"I was extremely satisfied with how quickly I was able to rent a unit and start moving out some of my household items. The associate manager was also extremely friendly and customer oriented which isn't always the case. "
