"The employees were ALWAYS kind at that location. When the system was down at another location where I wanted to make a payment so the associate at my location made a note of it so I wouldn't get a late fee and I was able to drop off payment that night. They never gave me it's your problem attitude, always willing to help, even when I was in error. "

"My transaction was handled very professionally with kindness and respectfully in the office. However I did have two concerns: 1) I had to wait to be helped because of previous customers which was fine, however I am disabled and was recently released from the hospital. It just would have been nice to have a chair or bench to sit while waiting. 2) When we went to the storaged assigned to us, it had a lock on it already which required more waiting."

"Having suffered a stroke and having to move unexpectedly during my sister and nephew's short visit from North Carolina to accomplish my moving to her house, I was extremely pleased when I asked Bart if I could borrow a broom from the office to sweep out the two spaces I was vacating and he responded by saying not to worry about that, that they would take care of it. It had already been a long day for me and I had been on my feet for many hours though my limits at that time was only 20 or 30 minutes without being tired.
Many thanks and just letting you know you have a wonderful caring staff there. Thanks again."

"I stored my car at Uncle Bob's for a 9 month deployment. Upon returning, the battery was dead. The owner Bart used his own cables and vehicle to help jump my car. Even when it turned out that I would have to get my car towed to have the battery replaced, Bart was very helpful and went above and beyond in his customer service, which is rare this days. If I ever needed to use storage again, I would definitely go to this location."
