"I can’t say enough good things about this storage facility. When I inherited a classic car earlier this year, I didn’t know what I was going to do with it while I made space in my home garage and got the registration/insurance worked out. LifeStorage to the rescue! Not only did this facility offer an extremely fair rate for enclosed vehicle storage, but they also had a great area in the back where I could drive the car every weekend without getting on the highway. This helped me keep the battery charged and running smoothly until I could bring it home. The employees were so nice and pleasant to deal with, and they really made this whole process totally painless. If I ever have a need for storage again, I’ll definitely go here."

"My mother in law rented last year. So we used them. Norma the manager is very helpful and always pleasant. My boyfriend and grand baby had a issue with the elevator.But thank God everything is good and running just fine.I will definitely use them again."
"On the good side it's very new and clean. On the bad side they don't have enough carts. They raised my rent pretty soon after I moved my things into storage. And the one time that I know of that the elevator broke, it didn't get fixed for weeks. Maybe it was a one off situation."
"Staff at Life Storage are wonderful and helpful!
I visited the office on 4/05/21 to discuss options for possibly downsizing my unit. Scott N. was wonderful and I enjoyed talking to him. He provided me with options so I could empty my storage unit. I had stored items for a renter who did not remove all her things like she was supposed to.
When I initially rented the unit (3/07/21), Norma, was also very accommodating after a long day of moving items into the unit. I will always go to Life Storage whenever I have a need for storage space.
Thank you Norma and Scott!
Karen C."
"We have rented several units at this location and have found them to be reasonably priced, clean, and convenient. Norma, the manager, goes above and beyond to be helpful and kind, making calls to other locations for us, checking prices, and ensuring we have what we need. They are great about masks and safety protocols. I can't think of any way it could be better. I would definitely recommend renting here if you need storage."
"We've rented several units at this location and Norma, the manager, has been exceptional. She's been very knowledgeable and helpful, making calls to nearby locations, checking prices, just going above and beyond. The units and grounds are clean and neat. And they are very conscientious about masks and safety protocols. Five stars--highly recommended!"
"Norma was amazing! She made the experience seamless. She made sure we could rent the truck when we needed and even brought us water when we were out in the heat!"
"Norma at Life Storage has gone above and beyond for us while we organized our move from Texas to California. She was professional and responsive and made a potentially stressful situation easy. She even agreed to accept an amazon package with a padlock, set up the combination and then put it on the pod unit when it was packed up. Shes really been instrumental to us since we were organizing our move from out of state. I really appreciate Norma and Life Storage for taking good care of our items and then helping us get everything ready for the move. Thank you!"
"I was rushing to get to the facility before they closed at 6pm. It was 5:45pm and the door was locked, the clerk was making his rounds the sign stated. So when Scott appeared at 5:55pm. I thought he was going to say they were closed. But, to my surprise Scott told me to come right on in, he was pleasant, professional and inviting. He took his time to make sure I had the best experience possible! Also, Norma was was awesome too!!"
"Just came in from North Dakota. The most friendliest man (Scott) came to help us. Extremely helpful. Our apartment fell through he helped us figure it out. Full of information on area of Austin and around. Just like an Angel. Best experience ever. Thank you Life Storage for making things easier."
"This place is really lovely for my family. when we need some space for extra items to keep safe, I would definitely recommend this specific LIFESTORAGE!!"
"Norma is an amazing manager who goes out of her way to help her customers. She keeps the property so clean and always makes me feel welcome when I visit. I highly recommend this place!"
"Hate this place and I hate one of the ladies ( the older one ) who works at this location she is rude and her comments she makes are going to get her laid out on the ground one day they were and are simply distasteful ( but I would not expect anything less from white trash )."
"the property is neat and clean always, but the Staff is AWESOME. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I appreciate both on-site and over the telephone."
"Not quite sure of the Customer Service Representatives on the 1-800#, I spoke with (2) women and I don't believe they need training in effective listening like yesterday.
I gave my email address twice, I gave a description of my furniture to no avail I first described all my furniture to be stored a possibly 10 boxes. I was given a description of a 10×10 & 10×14 and neither storage unit would have fit my items. Also my email address wasn't anywhere on quote paperwork ati the location I visited (that's why I called customer service in the first place), but Henry was very helpful to add my email address and Scott was alright too. I pray this is the place to go for moving and storage by 2/16/2019.>=

"The manager (or Vice Manager, I can't remember) was extremely helpful. She called me early the next day, and I had just submitted my application around midnight the previous night. She was very prompt, very professional, and somehow made me excited to rent space there! Also, she was able to help me get a bigger space once I realized the smaller space was just too small. She really was an amazing person to work with, and I feel bad that I don't know her name, but I would know her face. The storage facility was extremely clean and gleaming, not like other places I've seen at all. I will never use another storage place. This one really set the bar."
"The questions I had were answered before I had a chance to ask. I was carried down to the storage space, shown how to use the lock on the storage to make sure I did not leave it open. Very well knowledged employees. I appreciate them."
"The unit is affordable and clean, the moving truck was super convenient. The associate was helpful and attentive. The lot was messy on the outside due to construction"
"The Manager and Asst. Manager were very knowledgeable in storage safety and container sizes. The size they recommended was a perfect fit. They were friendly and overall pleasant to work with. This was my second time utilizing Uncle Bob's Self Storage and I will use them in the future because I enjoyed the outstanding customer service I receive on each occasion. "
"You are a storage facility and they are more or less the same - the only difference is price and location, really, so long as I can get to my belongings during the posted hours of operation and the facility is well-maintained, which yours appears to be, I am very happy with the quality of service. I am not sure how to exceed my expectations. Cake? A free bottle of bourbon?"
"My only suggestion would be to have some flag or other sign to signify when your office is closed during the day. If something by the road could be flipped up so people in the area who do the personal pay thing could see not to stop at that time. I understand that you would probably be the only business that does this, but it would be helpful to old-schoolers like me. I couldn't be happier with the way things were run otherwise. If all businesses and our government were handled in this manner, we would all be much better off. Thanks. Good people in the office made it happen."
"so far we've had no problems with uncle bob's storage. we're very happy that our things are well secured even thou it might not mean much to others but to us it does. we are very satisfied wit Uncle Bob's "
"Unfortunately, it has been couple of weeks and i've already forgotten the name of the associate who helped me, but all i recall is thinking, "this guy's customer service is like that of a 5 star restaurant." Great guy, very patient, knowledgeable and accomodating to my circumstances. I really appreciated him offering, withough me asking, to be given overnight access, when he noticed that i was pressed for time and had a flight to catch the next morning. Offering a bottle of water was unexpected, but will always stand out as testiment that Uncle Bob [Life Storage] is serious about customer service!!!"
"The manager and asst. manager are awesome!! The office was extremely nice and neat.. The asst. magr Crosby was extremely nice and professional!!
The manager was also extremely nice and professional!! "
"I appreciate the concern about my indiviual needs, and the friendly approach to address them. I appreciate this company for helping me at a time I need help. I was going through a rough time things will get better Thanks so much!"
"Uncle Bob's is off the chain! I've been with this organization for 6 yrs and I am completely satisfied. I wish there were some incentives for membership other than the referral program. But I'm cool. Thank you for your good customer service."
"I didn't just mark all 5's to just get through it, the location I was at the staff is AWESOME. Always very nice, very professional. Truly a nice experience.
And the location was always neat and clean. "
