"I stored my items at uncle bobs on south 1st street in Austin Texas. Sterling and Peggy were unbelievably helpful and extremely tempermental even when I did the paper work for one unit and then requested a bigger after I realized it was too small. They were super friendly and I was pretty blown away. Being in the service industry I'm always hoping to have good service wherever I spend money. Will definitely store with you guys in the future. "

"Two employees - both have different answers to same question and when they finally agree on what "policy" is, they can't get the "computer" to accept their input. Always try to make it MY misunderstanding, not their misrepresentation."

- Alfredo from Buda, TX
"I am very satisfied with the whole experience using storage for the first time. I did not expect a good experience thinking that it would be like trying to get your vehicle that had been pounded. I feel that other storage locations would not had met my expectations even though I had lower them in my mind. I would rather return to Uncle Bobs instead of risking in having bad experience with someone else. Thanks!"

- Anthony G. from Austin, TX
"I think your office should be open all the time during duty hours. Im sure you guys are losing business b cuz of the paper clock mounted to the door. Thats what I almost did cuz we waitedfor 45 mins before the attendant came back and they were even 7 mins late but I stayed. Other than that everything else is fine."

- Joseph from Austin, TX

- Scott from Austin, TX
"being limited by a 9 P.M. lockout made it difficult to complete my move in, At check in I was told with prior arrangements I would be allowed to enter the complex after 9 P.M.. When I tried to arrange this I was told it couldn't be done, which put a strain on my limited time to accomplish the move."

- Consuelo from Austin, TX
"I had to move unexpectly and was an emotional wreak. The 2 gentlemen that served me were extremely professional. They were patient and helped me find what I needed. I have been in the service industry for over 20 years. I worked as a manager at a restarant in a high profile 5 star hotel. You either have an amazing training program, or you just hired great employees. Thank you."
