"Ken is great! Very professional and helpful.
Also Caleb, very helpful.
I have been using this location for over 5 years, have had a positive experience."
"We have had a unit here for the last 3 years. In that time our unit has been broken into twice. The gate is always broken and open at all times. The cameras mean nothing. Go anywhere else but here"
"I chose to use another location with LifeStorage but Caleb was very friendly and helpful in finding a different location and pricing and ease of load. Definitely a great guy."
"Very helpful, took time to explain everything since I had no clue what I was doing as a first time renter. I will definitely choose this location in the future if need be."
"Everyone was always kind and helpful, the property was well taken care of from what I saw, and the entire process was simple and easy, from beginning to end. Shaneka was also very kind and made the process of ending our monthly storage space incredibly simple!"
"Everyone here was great. They helped me to vacate fast and easy! I would definitely come back to this location for my storage needs! Thankyou Life storage!!"
"Had to find a storage real quick. Looked up close location and found this one. Staff was awesome. Brittni was so helpful. If your in need for a good storage with great service, look no further."
"Yesterday 12-27-2021 I went into the office at Life Storage and Ken was so wonderful and had me setup in not time with my new storage unit. I have used this location several times and the management has always been very helpful."
"I'm very happy with this self-storage company and it's primarily due to their employees. They are very friendly and helpful and do what they can to make the experience pleasant. Aside from that, I like how they have modernized their systems to allow for completing *most* of the process online, to include completing the "sign out" process when you vacate a space. That is something that is especially irritating with some other competitors; they more or less make it an annoying/inconvenient process to move out. That said, I'm still a customer here, I just moved to a bit larger space and happily recommend it to those looking for a nice, save place to store their belongings."
"If you have ever had to move your things to storage, you know that it is a pain in the neck. But Brittany was such a delight that the process was made lighter. Thank you Brittany for all your help."
"I've been renting a space for several years, however, since management has changed it's gone downhill. Brittni is the rudest person. She has zero customer service. The whole row by my unit is pitch dark. I let them know the lights were burnt out last winter & now as the days get shorter they still have not been replaced. The bathroom is locked after hours (after 6) andt it NEVER has toilet paper or paper towels. Signs were posted with long lists of "to do's" for tenants treating us like children but nothing gets cleaned up or repaired. There is so much more but you get the idea. Oh & the prices keep going UP & UP & UP even pre pandemic."
"Brittany has no customer service skills. She called and wanted a late fee today, even though payment was made on the 5th. Get there she is gone until 11. Makes no sense. Needed the code to the gate, and she wants to see an id. You didn’t want an id when I came in to pay."
"Very helpful and cheapest pricing iv found yet. Storage was clean and had no issues storing my stuff for over a year and half. Everything was left just as I remembered."
"I came in had a really good experience here at this place the girls Jamie and Brittany are really sweet people they helped a lot and really complement the place here I would recommend my friends to come and rent a storage here"
"Jaime was amazing. Very very helpful and informative. She helped me find the unit that was best for me and the baby and made sure we got the best price. Very good customer service 🤗"
"COLTON BURKETT CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS WERE IMPECCABLE. HE WAS COURTEOUS, PATIENT AND VERY UNDERSTANDING. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION TO ANYONE. THANKS COLTON."
"The storage area here belongs to buddy of mine. I was helping him out the other day and was very impressed. It has coated lock gate up front, security cameras out the Yazoo and it was awesome very clean and neat on the property. Price tag he's paying for his storage a hell of a lot less than my storage and that's definitely something you need to take into consideration also."
"Came in today to rent out another unit.. Brittni Garcia has been ABSOLUTELY AMAZING today like she is everyday she is here since I met her years ago. She works way too hard for her own good! Explained everything precise and nothing was misunderstood. She gave me access to all options available and even made sure to anwser all questions I had before I left, shoot, she drew me a map to my new unit. Brittni deserves a raise & promotion! Thank you Brittni! You rock girly!"
"They only want money....
I started a new job and my pay day got bumped 4 days later. I'm a teacher therefore I get paid once a month, so I went and talked to the office about it and Brittany told me there was nothing she could do to help me keep from getting a late fee even though I talked to her about my new pay schedule. Sure enough I not only got a late fee, but they also put a red lock on my unit... I went ahead and paid it, but was then told that she wouldn't have timebe able to unlock it until the next day be cause she had too much paperwork to do. 😑"
"5 star service especially by Brittni completely professional and efficient with all your needs for your process to run smooth I would gladly recommend going here thank you Life Storage and thank you Brittni for all your help. :)"
"La manager bueno disque manager es muy rasista con los hispanos uno llega a bajar sus herramientas y dise lla muévete que invades el camino un paga para guardar sus cosas salir o entrar pero si uno no pagar no tuviera que tragar por nosotros tiene trabajo mejor les remiendo los siguientes storage 8600 Spring Valley Rd, Dallas, TX 75240 es una morenita y es bien amable.."
"The good manager dial manager is very straightforward with Hispanics, one gets to lower his tools and designs move that you invade the road a payment to keep his things, leave or enter but if one does not pay, he does not have to swallow for us, he has a better job, I will patch them up. the following storage 8600 Spring Valley Rd, Dallas, TX 75240 is a brunette and is very kind."
"Fantastic storage unit and very helpful employees! From my move-in date to the day I vacated my unit, staff members were available to answer any questions I had."
"Competitively priced with decent security. Limited hours and the layout took some getting used to. A little tricky getting in and out but that can add to the security."
"I've been a tenant for almost 5 years and i finally found a place called to let them know gentleman said it was ok would prorate rent a few days later I went to pay but when i was told by manager it was past the 5th so i paid 142 for the whole month.I also told manager i was leaving she ok be out before the first. I get a call the next month about why i did tell anyone from same manager she lied and said i said nothing raising her voice to me. This conversation alone made me regret being there she was rude
A Dupart"
"I had a great experience at Life Storage. Colton was knowledgeable, as he answered all of my "first time renter" questions. Also, the store manager, Brittni, was helpful. Overall, I like this place. I feel I have made a good choice."
"We are auction buyers, this was the best service we ever had. The manager had all the paperwork ready when we got there. Super busy place but she was so professional and organized. Thanks again, Sherry Robbins"
"Cut off my lock and didn't notify me, as a result things were stolen out of my storage. Management shrugged at me when I informed them.
Edit: area manager called me back on 4-9-2020 about incident in December to let me know they didn't care about my incident. === this place is a joke very unprofessional I do not suggest you trust them with any of your personal belongings."
"12-11-2019 Cut off my lock and didn't notify me, as a result things were stolen out of my storage. Management shrugged at me when I informed them.

"Do not ever use this space. I was a great customer for 5 years and they will treat you terribly if there is ever an issue. When I vacated the space, I even sweeped it and now I'm wondering why. I left some items for a charity to pick up by the elevator because it doesn't work (they have had several problems maintaining their lifts) but due to Coronavirus, they could not immediately. Now they are harassing me and my "emergency contact" to try and hustle us for money to use what they call an expensive service to get the items and want to charge a fee and more rent. A referral that they previously gave refused to help. They are trying to profit off of a national emergency and will be reported for it. Their demeanor is terrible and they should be ashamed. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone ever now."
"Between your competitive prices, friendly and competent staff, secure storage area, location, and tidiness of the entire property, this is the best storage experience I’ve had. Keep up the good work."
"I wish to commend the gentleman that manages the property. He's attentive, knowledgeable, and se sensitive to my time. He deserves to be acknowledged, as be always goes above and beyond."
"We had a last minute need and they were very accommodating. Brett was helpful and pleasant, even when it started to get busy. We have only been with them for a short time, but are happy with the service. I also think the pricing is very fair for the size unit we needed."
"I hav been here since 2015. Unfortunately I am having to move but Spencer has been a great help through everything. When he took over you could tell he was more proactive on keeping everything. Clean. Always see him on property. If I find myself in the area again, I will be coming back to Life Storage."
"I'm a mover, I've been to many storage places in the ten years I've been doing this, for convenience, this is the worst one, the ramps are hard to get up with dollies, the elevator only works if you walk upstairs and call it, and it doesn't fit anything remotely big, so every heavy piece has to be carried upstairs, if you're hiring movers, please save them the trouble and go to any other storage"
"We rented a unit at Life Storage (Richardson) for the summer of 2019. When we returned in August to retrieve our possessions, we discovered that everything that touched the floor of the unit had been either destroyed or badly damaged by water and mold. Life Storage charged us the full rental fee for our use of their facility in spite of this. Store manager states that this is company policy. Our insurance may cover some of the damaged items but it does not cover rental costs or the cost of the hours that it took to deal with insurance claim. DO NOT USE THIS STORAGE SITE IF YOU VALUE YOUR POSSESSIONS OR YOUR TIME."
"Friendly staff, neat environment. don't get fooled by the small front office. the inside area is huge , several hundreds unit inside. plus this location is cheaper than the one down east."
"Spence and Brett are the two realest guys here. They hooked me up and gave professional fast service while keepin conversation. Told them about my situation and they good people who actually care. Cant say that for most these places round here."
"Spencer is the absolute best. Every time I come in hes always friendly and jokes around with me. He needs a raise; he definitely one of the biggest assets to your company. I love the friendly atmosphere and the promptness. Thank you so much for everything you all do."
"I used this place a while back. The staff was friendly and it didnt take long before I was given a storage and able to move my half of the house into it after the divorce. Thank you for making this process a smooth one, cause the divorce wasnt haha"
"Dave was great, friendly and helpful as well as the young African American lady (sorry I forgot your name) she also help me out a lot with some savings when renting longer. Thank you both."
"Couldn't have gone smoother...maybe a little faster as there was a trainee in the mix, but since I was not in a hurry I was glad to be patient. Overall a good experience."
"I am very happy with everything except that my storage unit is very far from the elevator. It was all that you had at the time, but I would be interested if a unit became available in the same size that is closer to the elevator or entrance. I would also like one on the ground floor if possible."
"ThIs was my first opportunity to use use Uncle Bob's Storage. I have used U-Haul in the past and was happy with their services. But after this experience with your operation, I will prefer and will return to Uncle Bob's in the future for my storage needs. Thanks!"
"Al at the Richardson Texas location is great. I have my boat stored there. Al went out of his way to call me and tell me my cover had blown off of my boat. I really appreciated that. "
"My father passed away several years ago and it has taken me almost 3 years to be able to deal with it. I've had to store the most important items from his estate. They helped me by being kind and understanding of this painful process."
"I was happy with everything your company showed me as a customer. I was helped well beyond expections. Sandra was great to me. Very helpful and pay less."
"My location has a great gentleman named Mel working there. He has always been the best with me, and my off and on Uncle Bob [Life Storage] 13 year relationship. No matter where I go, I always store at the same location. DEE, ON THE OTHER HAND, needs some extreme sensitivity training in my opinion. Every time I have ever had to be stuck with her helping me, it has always erupted into some sort of personality degradation, with her. I have no idea why that is the case, I try always to get along with any relation that is deemed to help myself....especially in a billing situation. They are taking care of my stuff, after all. Who knows? Mel is awesome, Uncle Bob's is awesome. Guess I will always store there as long as Mel and Uncle Bob's remain attached. Thanks again! "
"I have been at this facility for quite a few years, and I plan to stay for as long as I need storage. Mel and his wife are wonderful. They always check to make sure my health is going well (kidney/pancreas transplant) when I come into the office or even when they see me somewhere on the property. Everybody waves and smiles and says hi. That right there, really makes me feel welcome and that I chose the right place for storage. I couldn't ask for a better facility or better and more friendly people. KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK!!!"
"Would it be possible to have more than one four-wheel dolly available in building "A"? Occasionally there is a need for more than one at the same time and it is time consuming to move the one dolly from side to side."
"It would be helpful to change automatic payments over the phone since I don't always live in the city my storage unit is in and credit cards get hacked relatively frequently. Otherwise, great!"
"It is because of Mel, Bea and their staff that everyone that I know with storage needs are at Uncle bob's Storage on Centennial in Richardson Texas. "
"Mel is a great manager, he stayed 20 minutes late to get me signed up, and has encouraged me to sign up for auto-debit to help me avoid late payments. The folks here are super sweet and patient with me. "
"The staff was upportive and underst, very and understanding. I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend the facility to anyone. Great, great management."
"We have rented from Uncle Bob's several times and have not been disappointed which is why we go back to there. Our experience with management has been above satisfactory which is why we are there."
"Mel has been fantastic! He greeted us promptly even though he was very busy with several other customers and still handled our transaction quickly and efficiently. Every time we have gone in to see him or called, he has remembered us and helped with everything we have asked for. Mel is great!"
