    I love my Public Storage facility here on 183 in Austin. I’ve dealt with Tommie here for a little over 4 yrs. He’s top notch. Always pleasant and wonderful to deal with. PS is so lucky to have him for customers at this location. Thanks for all your help Tommie. Most appreciated. ... Read more

    Absolutely amazing customer service from Tommie! I didn’t even have to ask for assistance, he immediately stop to say hi and to provide assistance. He showed me my unit, how to work the locks and the easiest area to unload my belongings. Thank you, Tommie! This is my first storage rental and right off the bat I know I did the right choice by selecting this facility! ... Read more

    Very pleased with the space I have rented. We started with a 10 x 20 and decided quickly to add another. We felt like the pricing was fare and affordable, good location, well kept spaces and good security... Really appreciate all the attention to detail that Jimmy the site manager puts in. He has been very helpful and is a delight to deal with. Highly recommend this storage location... ... Read more

    Tyler H. - 6 May 2026
    Hello, I have been renting a space here for about four months since I moved. The manager, Tommie, is very approachable, professional, and friendly. Whenever I have a question, he is always willing to listen and respond. Recently, I talked to him about switching to a smaller unit, and he kindly showed me various options and provided helpful advice. Having a good manager is definitely a bonus when renting a storage unit. I truly appreciate his excellent customer service. ... Read more

    My company has had a storage unit here for several years. While there have been price increases over that time that have been a bit hard to stomach, the manager on-site Tommie is super friendly and was very helpful today in assisting us and providing options. The facility is well maintained, feels very secure with unique customer access code required for entry and exit, and we haven’t had any safety or security issues in the years we’ve been storing here. ...

    Don’t waste your time calling customer service!! call the site manager. Tommy is a manager that goes above and beyond. I had a terrible experience with calling in and getting the unit situated and I requested to cancel however, Tommy reached out and called me today, providing me options and information. Everything he said was simple, made sense, and offered solutions. It’s rare to find somebody motivated by helping out the best interest of others. Not only is he an asset to his company, but he’s expertly efficient at Storage consultation and account management. 10/10 I’d like to leave a different review for the corporation however as long as Tommy is there, I’ll be there public storage over the phone as a hassle. The guys at the location are a lot better just rent from the managers. ... Read more

    Title: Outstanding Service from Tommie at Public Storage I had an excellent experience at this Public Storage location, thanks to Tommie at the front desk. He was incredibly attentive from the moment I walked in. While I waited for my moving truck to arrive, he offered me water and made sure I was comfortable a small gesture that meant a lot on a hectic day. What stood out even more was how often he checked in on me. He didn’t just set me up and disappear he made sure I had everything I needed, answered all my questions, and made me feel like a valued customer the entire time. Tommie’s professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail truly made my moving process smoother and less stressful. I really appreciate the level of care and customer service he provided. Highly recommend this location thanks to him! ... Read more

    A big thank you to their representative Tommie for providing me with a seamless and downright pleasant rental experience today. He was incredibly helpful and obviously takes great pride and care in his employment and the service he provides for his customers. As a business owner myself who has employed many people it’s always great when you receive genuine quality customer service and professionalism from someone who cares about what they do no matter what it is and cares about the customers he provides service. Any business would be lucky to have an employee like Tommie representing them and if he consistently performs with all his customers as he did with me I hope his employers makes him feel as valued as he did for me as their customer. ...

    COMPLETE SCAM STAY AWAY. I was given a space that is completely inaccessible. I was told someone would be on site and not only is no one on site but their phone system doesn’t work so you can’t get ahold of the property manager. They refused to refund me for the space and only said they would “put in a request”. Do yourself a favor and don’t do business with these people ... Read more
    Carrie M. - 26 July 2025
    I am in-between moves and I needed a storage unit fast! I loved that Public Storage has hours of operation and is incredibly secure. Tommie has been absolutely wonderful- he showed me the unit I reserved and has been not only a friendly, familiar, face, but also knowledgeable about every question I might have! I have no idea how much longer I’ll need this unit. But, for now it’s perfect, clean, and dry, and if I need one in the future I know where to go! ... Read more
    Heidi G. - 15 April 2025
    This location is so convenient and easy to access. I just moved back to Austin and needed a small unit to store my washer and dryer. When I arrived, Mr. Tommie was extremely accomodating and informative, he really is such a sweet person! He helped make my move that much less stressful with his kindness and helpfulness. I am happy to have chosen this location! ... Read more
    Raven S. - 1 April 2025
    I’ve been using public storage for about 6 months now due to a sudden mv and dramatic decrease in available space. My rate started at 83 and was increased suddenly last month by $27. I called and spoke with Tommie about it but he was having an issue with his system at the time and was unable to pull my information up. He then promised to call me back within 1 1/2 hrs. An hour later he called back and explained that rates are raised periodically and anytime that happens to inform them as they won’t necessarily see the increase. He then requested that my rent increase be delayed since I’ve been using the space for a while and hv great payment history so my rent is now back at $83. I appreciate you Tommie for your professionalism and courtesy throughout the process. You tha Man!!! ... Read more

    I've used this location a few times before. Both short and long term. Tommy is very professional, kind, and will help you get exactly what you need for your storage needs. Easy transaction makes for an easy move in. ... Read more
    Luke Z. - 26 February 2025
    The property here is easy to access, and online pricing is generally lower than other storage companies. I have rented a couple of units, and not all have been in good repair. However, the property manager Tommy is always very responsive and helpful, so that makes up for it. ... Read more
    Kara N. - 22 February 2025
    Mr.Tommie has patience, I kept changing my mind about what supplies I wanted. I also forgot my wallet. When I returned all the items I picked out were waiting to the side for me to purchase. He helped me pack my supplies to the car. His customer service is very calming and helpful. He also smells really nice. ... Read more
