I had such a great experience today and especially want to recognize Kelsey! He was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful from the moment I arrived. He even stood outside and guided me as I carefully pulled my car into the storage unit to make sure I didn’t hit anything. He also noticed that my phone was dying and offered me his own charger to use while I was there. Those may seem like small things, but after a long and stressful day, that level of kindness and thoughtfulness meant so much to me. Kelsey truly went above and beyond to make sure I and my car were taken care of. Excellent customer service from a genuinely kind person. Thank you so much, Kelsey!
