June 02, 2014"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!"

April 03, 2014"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."
February 27, 2014"The entire process was smooth and easy. I recommend Uncle Bob's to everyone i know. "
February 13, 2014"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."
January 30, 2014"Everything was handled in a very courteous and professional fashion, above and beyond expectations."
January 25, 2014"Doing business with Uncle Bob's Self Storage has been a wonderful and rewarding experience. I will certainly recommend Uncle Bob's to anyone I know is looking for a good storage facility. "
November 24, 2013"You exceeded expectations because all the other storage places I had visited were 180 deg op of Uncle Bob's [Life Storage]."
November 18, 2013"I wish there will be rental truck at every Uncle Bob's Self Storage like the place that I rent in Austin. It was convenient and cheaper than U-Haul."
September 30, 2013"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."
