"I feel like I am part of a family. The store and staff always consider my well being and are very kind and considerate. I can't ask for more while they take care of my things. They make me feel like family. In this day and age we are living in, that to me, is priceless!! Don't change a thing. In fact, maybe other stores should model my store. "

"I have had bad past experiences at other storage units and Uncle Bob's Storage definitely changed that for me. I will always go back and refer friends and family. They were courteous in some situations about my payment. If it wasn't for a friendly reminder phone call I would have been late but they went above and beyond to reach out to me to let me know my payment hasn't been made due to a new debit card. So I thank them for that. "
