    When calling for a storage unit I had no idea what to expect. I have had such bad experiences with anything involving customer service. To my pleasant surprise a kind and charismatic woman answered the phone she introduced herself as Stephanie. Stephanie was helpful and quick to accommodate myself and my boyfriend. Stephanie was at the Montgomery location and was quick to accommodate us offering to drive to the Cardenas location where we were hoping to acquire our storage unit. I did not get the impression like her job was just a paycheck to her.Caring for people as individuals in an effortless and nonjudgmental manner came naturally to her. A few times I had to change the size of my unit and the inconveniences to her did not change her mood or the atmosphere. Which consistently stayed positive and friendly. We need more people like Stephanie in Customer service positions. I would recommend anyone looking to get a storage unit to rent one from aaa ulockitstorage it based on my experience with Stephanie alone. ... Read more

    This company is something else every a couple of months they will raise your rent by $20 it's not a lot but it's enough and they will threaten you to pay by saying there gonna auction it off but haven't done the proper procedures to do so the staff is very rude and lately I haven't been able to get into the gate to access my storage unit. I can't wait until I can get my stuff out of there so I don't have to deal with them anymore. ... Read more

    Can’t never get a hold of them to return the unit! Called, e-mailed, messaged, never get a reply then continuing to bill me monthly for the empty unit. Management please do better with communicating with your customer. ... Read more

    Yes it would be great if they didn't close at 6 in the winter and otherwise 7-7, and Sundays would be great, but the staff (Alma and Alyssa) are so helpful and the prices beat Extra Space etc, that they are a wonderful choice. :-) ... Read more
