These spaces keep your items cool in the summer and heated in the winter, and are ideal for protecting items such as wood, electronics, and plastic that can be damaged from temperature changes and extremes.

"The pricing, while in-line with the pricing of the area, is a little steep. I wish you were a bit more competitive with the pricing."

"I would like to commend whoever hired the staff at the manchaca/slaughter area. Preston is a wonderful and genuinely great person and you can tell he takes pride in his job. Every time I have gone in, he has been more than helpful, going beyond expectations. I have 2 units there, plus I have referred 2 other people for 6 units. I tell people about your business all the time over u haul and other brands. I trust that Preston will take care of my needs and help me out anytime I have a question. The other staff are very polite and enjoyable to greet. Storage is not a place you frequent but it's always enjoyable to go because the staff you have hired is awesome. As long as I need a storage unit, it will always be with Uncle Bobs [Life Storage]!! It's funny because amount my friends, we are all like, "yea Preston, he is really cool.""

"Everyone was so kind even though we were not a paying customer. Uncle Bob's [Life Storage] was generous to donate a storage space for our 501c3 non-profit (The Adventurers Academy of Lifelong Learning) to store garage sale items for a month for a GIANT sale in March. We were allowed an extra month to get rid of items that were left over. We are hoping that we will be able to get a little more time BEFORE our sale and maybe a room up from a 10X10 for next year so that we can collect more large items. THANK YOU for being so kind and helpful! We really have appreciated your support!"
