"Uncle Bob's facility is exactly what I needed. Jeanine (I'm not sure if I've spelled this correctly), the manager of this location, was very helpful. She was thorough with all paperwork, explanation of the facility and guidelines of renting. "
"Having used other storage facilities in the past, this was a pleasant surprise. The staff, especially Sherry, were extremely helpful, cordial and friendly. "
"Truly is a one stop shop I got refered by another storage company and when I arrived Brandon made the process so fast sweet and simple had me in out with in minutes since I was in a rush time was of the essence for me at the moment he even put me in the truck for Free gr8 service "
"Was given a unit with a drilled out lock. Was given a tab to put on the hasp to secure it. Had to leave items unsecured due to the tab being incorrect.
Was also told that I would be able to use the box truck to move in. I reserved the truck, but my reservation was not honored. Had to make multiple trips in personal vehicles to move items into storage costing me extra time and money."
"Generally I think the service is fine. However during the summer the asphalt was repaved and someone took a blower and blew dust and debris under and over the doors of my storage unit, thus making a hugh mess that had to be cleaned up inside the unit. Some decorative items were soiled badly. The doors should have been shielded form such actions."
"This was the best experience ever with a storage facility and it was due to the personnel being so helpful and working with me and my needs. The facility was clean and I felt safe and so glad to see it was bug free and clean everytime I came. Thank you for such a good storage facility and hiring the best in personnel. I highly recommend Uncle Bob's [Life Storage]!"
"I did not have a good experience. I believe that the service was Overpriced and I did not appreciate the staffs attitudes and inappropriate responses to certain situations. The Area Manager Did help me but I believe that the staff there needs some serious extended training in customer service."
"Particularly pleased with the service I received when I had to relocate my boat from one space to another. The Bob's associate worked with me for a half an hour or more trying different alternatives until the new spot worked out perfectly. "
"You helped me decide what size I really needed. And since I already have 2 units with you (I was getting a 3rd to store my college student's belongings for the summer) you graciously let me use a coupon that saved me 50% on 2nd month rent."
"The staff, especially Sherry was awesome and always willing to help. Sherry always made me feel comfortable anytime I had a question or concern. I would highly recommend you guys...and already have"
"The manager at the Bush River Rd location was THE reason I rented there. She was very up front and helped me with what I wanted to. She gave me a great deal and even provided with a lock (which I returned). If every manager were this good, every space would be filled always."
"I live out of town so it is very important to me to know that the things in my unit are safe. Every time I am in the area and check on my unit, it is always very clean and secure"
"I had the most incredible experience as a customer of Uncle Bob's [Life Storage]. The manager, Sherry was simply marvelous all around.
Thank you for an awesome experience!
Sandra :)"
