I’ve been a tenant at Smart Stop Storage, and I want to recognize one employee in particular who truly stands out — Judah Munoz. Judah is easily one of the best employees this property has ever had. From the moment you interact with him, you notice his kindness and genuine care for people. He treats every customer with respect and patience, and he always makes you feel like you matter. What impresses me most is how much pride he takes in the property. The facility is always clean, organized, and well-maintained, and you can tell Judah is constantly checking on things, observing, and making sure everything is running smoothly. He doesn’t just do his job — he goes above and beyond. Any time I’ve needed help, Judah has been ready to serve with a great attitude and a willingness to assist. Employees like him are rare.

I recently rated this storage place at two stars because of an increase to my unit within a short span of time. The manager Jonathan, reached out to me personally to help resolve my complaint. As a loyal customer for years, I appreciated his dedication in solving the matter. It’s not often I write a review and get an immediate response from management. He truly cares about his clients and I’m glad I was able to keep my unit. ... Read more

It was a smooth process with Jason. He did not rush us and took us to show the unit before we agreed to rent it out. He made sure to inform us with what is included in the package. He was also very accommodating throughout. ... Read more

This review is specifically for Jason, the employee who assisted me with a myriad of issues.Throughout every step, Jason kept a cool and calm demeanor. He was respectful and always responded to all my questions. Jason provided exceptional customer service and clearly communicated to me my options. This was a tough case, I inherited two storages and it was a bit overwhelming to deal with while living hours away. Thank you Jason for your amazing service and support! ... Read more

The onsite jonathan had just closed for sunday: he still answered my questions. I called the next day and a phone rep professionally gave me exactly what I wanted. Then onsite jonathan patiently walked me through the online contract process. Jonathan also said he will attempt to get my locker light functional. I will have only positive comments to express relative to my experiences with your business. ... Read more

Was helped out by Jonathan at the front desk . Was really indecisive on which storage facility to choose from but Jonathan made my final option really easy to pick smartstop shelf storage , from showing me the storage unit without me having to ask , getting into details that were worth mentioning up for future references , to having an honest and genuine attitude with me and my wife . Made my decision on picking out this storage facility from all the other ones way easier due to his great personality and extensive knowledge on the storage business . Would recommend this storage facility to my family and friends due to my experience with Jonathan . 10/10 service 10/10 attitude 10/10 all around person . ... Read more

I was really apprehensive when I walked in the office. However that changed quickly, I was welcomed, my questions were answered, and I appreciated the tour of the storage area and unit I was looking into. Johnathan was awesome, he made me feel at ease and took the time to explain the rental process. My husband and I are now discussing moving his things from his Gilroy storage to SmartShop Self Storage. Thank you again for a positive experience. I will definitely recommend this location. ...

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that SmartStop Self Storage - 2487 Alum Rock Avenue has to offer. These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Onsite Manager, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Elevators, First Floor Access, Multi-Level Storage and RV Storage. Most of these amenities can prove to be very useful depending on what you need to store. For example, climate-controlled units can come in handy for keeping sensitive items, drive-up access can make your loading and unloading process easier, and extra security measures will ensure your items are kept safe at all times.

The storage units offered by SmartStop Self Storage - 2487 Alum Rock Avenue can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 25 to 300 square feet. You can go for smaller units if you don't have a lot of items to store, while choosing a larger space is recommended in case you need to store a lot of furniture, bigger items or even vehicles.

The unit size that you should choose obviously depends on how much stuff you need to store. On the one hand, you should think of smaller units (5'x5' or 5'x10') as closets – they can be used to store chairs, lamps, moving boxes and sports equipment, along with smaller pieces of furniture, books and documents.

On the other hand, the 10'x10' and 10'x15' spaces are good for storing larger items of furniture, bicycles and a larger number of possessions. If you need even more space, then 10'x20' and 10'x30' units can easily accommodate the contents of an entire 3- or 4-bedroom house.

Storage units offered by SmartStop Self Storage - 2487 Alum Rock Avenue come at a variety of prices, starting from $78 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $696 a month.

We know that when it comes to self storage, there is nothing more important than quickness and accessibility. Drive-up access is an extremely convenient amenity, as you can park your vehicle right next to your unit, making it significantly easier to load and unload the items you will use storage for. However, drive-up storage units tend to be outdoors, so you might consider indoor storage spaces with climate control if you're looking to keep temperature-sensitive items in peak condition.

Yes, you might, depending on what you need to put in storage. Climate-controlled spaces keep temperatures and humidity levels consistent all the time, which means they are perfect for storing sensitive items. Seeing that a whole host of things can be damaged by varying temperatures and excessive moisture, many people choose to rent climate-controlled units for personal items such as documents, photographs, paintings, collectibles, electronics, wooden furniture, antiques and even vehicles. If you're looking to store such items that are valuable to you, consider renting a climate-controlled unit!
