Michelle W | Overall ExperienceNothing.
Dan SA-1 does an EXCELLENT job!!! Store with confidence!!!!
Kent B | Overall ExperienceAn in person walk thru the truck would be helpful. It took me a few minutes to figure out some basic things, like how the haul/tow light works on where to activate it. Also getting the gear out of park was tough. A little in person reassurance / how to would go a long way.
Christina PAbsolute best storage facility in the area. We’ve rented units several times now to store college student’s belongings for the summer. Super clean. Zero bug or critter issues. Amazingly helpful staff. Cannot say enough good things!
Tanya C | Overall ExperienceFound 2 soda cans in the side pockets.
Charles MThere needs to be signs directing you to the parking area. The key drop box didn’t work, so if you drop off when they are closed, you cannot leave the key.
DANIA MNa
Heather AGreat folks to work with. Felt like my belongings were safe. We had rented another storage unit previously and it got broken into and our things were stolen. We felt like we had to drive by every day to check our lock! This unit was much more secure. Would gladly use them again.
Terry C | Overall ExperienceThey ladies were so friendly that help me , I want to thank them
Jerry MExcellent location and staff. Truck worked wonderfully. 5 Stars!
Durwood BService was above and beyond! The U-Haul I had requested was still not back but Janet went above and beyond to put us in a larger U-Haul at the same price to keep us from waiting. I will definitely use this place if we ever move again.
Clyde CThis was a wonderful experience all the way around. The staff members were some of the most friendly and helpful I have ever dealt with anywhere. I definitely recommend dealing with these fine folks.
Jeff S | Overall ExperienceThe app would not work when I returned the truck. Extremely frustrating!
Mary HAt another U-Haul site, the vehicle I had reserved was not physically not available.
Timothy GThe first truck’s check engine light was on and had to be exchanged. Couldn’t get into the return location because it was a garage with no parking available. Had to travel 15-20 miles to return and then had to pay for the extra gas it took to get there.
Amanda KWe love the lady who runs the office. She is awesome.
Craig MI have rented from A-1 self-storage for 15 years for my business. They have been fantastic to work with!
SWVA H | Overall ExperienceIt was hard to know where to drop off the uhaul. I wish there was better signs
Melissa MI researched all facilities in the local area and A1 storage had unbeatable prices. Not only were the storage units in a great location but they were well maintained and clean. The ladies at A1 storage are so incredibly helpful and friendly. I highly recommend doing business with them!
Tawny S | Overall ExperienceI highly recommend A-1 Self Storage! The units are immaculate. The office staff are amazing. We rented a unit to store our student’s college dorm items and vehicle for the summer. We inadvertently rented a unit which was too small… and within an hour they had us switched to a larger unit. Additionally, their attention to detail and true concern for security is unmatched. When we moved out, I was waiting to call to let them know we were out of the unit… but literally within one hour of us removing the lock and emptying the unit I received a concerned phone call. They noticed the lock was gone and unit empty and wanted to make sure we were aware. Super happy and will absolutely be renting from them again next summer!
Tanya C | Overall ExperienceI had a reservation at Chilhowie, 2 trucks, I said any size, were to be back at 5pm Friday. They never showed up, I had everything scheduled, movers etc. Frantic called Ftiday night numerous times told 1 would be in Abingdon Saturday morning. Clerk said don't want you to drive all that if they don't show up? Uhaul needs a better system. Will not recommend uhaul.
Jackie DThis location was the complete opposite of the pickup location. The young lady was very fro and helpful.
John SBe sure to keep Jessica as your employee; she puts the customer first and gets you on the road as well as anyone I've ever experienced - politely and cheerfully, too.
Charles CI received fantastic service and would highly recommend this location.
Scott BHad to drop off here, because again, there wasn't enough gas to even make the move to begin with.
Cerella BWasn't sure I was at the right place, until a saw the small sign on the door that simply said "Park the U-Haul truck around back!"
Peter VEasy to find, used mobile app to drop off.
Lee AVery friendly people and easy to work with.
Highlands C | Overall ExperienceThe representative who checked me in when I picked up the vehicle was so helpful and nice!
Eden CThe staff was very helpful and friendly..love the people there. Unit was very clean, well lighted and secure.
Euva S | Overall ExperienceA-1 storage great folks to work with
Steve MI was told since they was closed on Thursday n Friday I had to pick up the uhaul on Wednesday n return it on Saturday then on my paperwork they said turn it in on Friday I think it’s unfair I was charged after being told this by the lady in abingdon va she said I would not be charged for thanksgiving now they took 94 dollars out of my account and to beat they it was taken back on Friday evening at 830 no I would not recommend uhaul to anyone for simple fact I feel I was done wrong
Venus ACheck tire pressure. Service was excellent.
Floyd SI would definitely recommend this facility to anyone. Great location and locally owned!! Great staff that were always ready to help and answer my questions. Thank you.
Whitetop S | Overall ExperienceThe storage facility was excellent and clean. We closed our shed and we would recommend the location. Thank you, Greg Scrivener
GREG S | Overall ExperienceWonderful personnel. Would highly recommend. Thank you for helping me recover an item I left in the truck!!!
Harry RStaff were very helpful. Units were clean.
Randal K | Overall ExperienceJessAnn was excellent to work with.
Marion HNo issues at all!
Anthony LMy pick up location was a self- storage facility. The receptionist was a very nice older lady, but did not have a lot of knowledge about the truck.
james kEquipment was using too much gas & needed transmission work I think. Lower cost per mile $.79 mile plus gas is a price too high. Moved a sofa in 16 miles total cost was $52 plus $10 gas $62 for a sofa only 16 miles total. Too high per mile plus gas. A1 is great but UHaul milage is just too high with gas hog trucks. The small 1 studio truck. Not well serviced at 7 miles to the gallon with very light load. Service equipment lower prices per mile.
DONNA SOverall a great facility. There were a bunch of spider webs on my things when I came to pick them up. Not sure if there is a way to prevent this for other renters. Would use this facility again!
Olyssa H | Overall ExperienceThe facility was clean, safe and secure. The staff was super-friendly. I was satisfied with the arrangement and would recommend the facility to others.
Will S | Overall ExperienceAnd have recommended to two friends, who are currently using it. It's a nice option for the Abingdon and Bristol area. Limited hours on weekends makes planning a bit tricky, but a dropbox option for keys and notes. Usually quick response to phone calls or messages.
NORMA P | Overall ExperienceThank you!
Amanda & | Overall ExperienceThe woman who runs the office is very nice and efficient. This is my favorite location to use in the area. She’s extremely helpful
TIFFANYJ SWell let me say that I was just happy to be able to get the truck without a reservation even though expressed I only needed 10ft truck a because I only had 5 large items to move and asked if I could get the $19.99 rate because my total move was only 31 miles round trip and only had the truck just over 4 hrs but still had to pay the $29.99 or $39.99 rate and I checked the gas hand before leaving the lot and when returned the truck I was charged a $10&odd cent for fuel charge I put gas back in the truck and the gas hand was slightly more than I when I got it so I questioned that and asked why that the total fee of $87.40 and was told because it had slightly less gas than when I bought it back I told the rep.that wasn't so and wish I had her physical look at the gas hand before I left in the truck because it was back in the same place after me putting gas in it off interstate nextdoor to them but was told again it was slightly less when my brother and myself know better because we both said well least it has the same amount of not slightly more but definitely not less and the fact I couldn't get a discount on the larger truck I didn't need I was ok with that but then to beat me out of extra fee for fuel as high as fuel is really ticked me off to be honest because my brother said had I not even put fuel in there because u couldn't really see that the gas hand had moved at all that had I not put the fuel in there and said I did she would have charged me the same price and have to agree that being said I would only use that same U-Haul facility or recommend it if they were the only game in town or may even put it off for another day until I could get what I need to begin with but lesson learned for sure..
charles wThe truck parking area is cramped for bigger trucks, so please have available trucks backed in and ready to pull staight out. We had difficulty backing out such a large truck from a small area - especially since we had not drive a truck that large before.
John DGreat service, will definitely consider using this location again. Super friendly and professional.
nick sThis whole experience was a bust! Though the young lady working here was super sweet, the guy I spoke with about the rental messed everything up... overbooked the 15' truck, booked me at the wrong location and I'll never book U-Haul again!
julie mUhaul rep a local office super friendlyz
Kevin TIt was 3 years ago that after a bundle of nightmare's of why I was on they doorstep hoping to save the content's from my 2br. apt. in Lebanon looking for a 10x10 & reaching out this far not knowing I was about to be Respectfully Welcomed & Assisted by answering all my first time experience questions and to go along with a Awesome staff at A1 the units are well kept in good maintenance, the grounds kept very clean, Security access Gate was a plus assurance and upon my departure on 04/04/22. I left with a smile. T.y. A1 Self-Storage in Abingdon, VA.
William L | Overall ExperienceCheck that trucks have been cleaned out!
Ron ROver all decent place to store your belongings, but it appears a mouse was in the building and chewed on my belongings a little. However the staff was very helpful and pleasant.
Christian J | Overall ExperienceThe experience was friendly & the easiest I have ever experienced.
Steve SWas closed when I arrived. However a cleaning person was doing the windows… She even called the manager to confirm drop off directions! Simple easy and I was very impressed with the online drop off! U-Haul has it going on!!!
Joseph JThis is the best storage place I have ever seen/been to. It definitely sets the bar high for other storage places
BRITTANY W | Overall ExperienceThank you So Much
Margie E | Overall ExperienceI've had a great experience with this facility. The staff has always been super helpful and nice. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs a storage unit.
REBECCA S | Overall ExperienceWell pleased
Susan S | Overall ExperienceJust had to find a larger unit. It’s location for me was very convenient
ARTHUR S | Overall ExperienceI have been very pleased with A-1 Self Storage and would recommend this business to my friends and family!!
FRANK B | Overall ExperienceVery friendly and helpful staff.
Cantrena S | Overall ExperienceIt was after hours when I dropped off the uHaul. We walked the entire area looking for the drop box for the keys but there wasn't one. I called the toll-free number that was in my text message and the man I talked with told me to leave the key over the driver's side visor. I asked about my liability and he stated he could already see that I had done the check-in for the return so I was ok. This felt very insecure since the grounds of the storage facility were open to anyone driving by. I would not use this location again nor do I recommend it to anyone else until they can get a drop box installed for the truck keys.
TANA LSo horrible. Call me 804 896 4840

Reba F | Overall ExperienceExcellent facility, clean and secure and the staff were friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this self storage facility.
Donald B | Overall Experience. Uhaul should learn to take customer service lessons from Jess at A 1 storage her skills were superb!
Samantha MI thought I'd receive a security deposit back ( 20.00) when I checked out. Was I wrong about that? Mike Gentry 540-998-5945
Mike G | Overall ExperienceSuggest including a reminder to customers to verify return location and directions by personal contact prior to dropping a return. GPS systems still inadequate in rural locations.
Robin BHave used your company several times and will use again soon. Jessica has made it easy to get in the units, thank you!
Margaret B | Overall ExperienceThe facility and staff were very accommodating and helpful in every step. We had a total of 3 units at one point.
Kim N | Overall ExperienceWe were very pleased with our storage site. Access was good & the staff very helpful whenever we had a question. Thank you Gail Moore. (Unit #133, A-1, Abingdon)
Gail M | Overall ExperienceFacility is very clean and secure. Always very friendly staff. We had to move in very quickly due to COVID and my daughter leaving college. We stored items there in the past but the staff went above and beyond to help us get a space and access a unit within a short window. The school gave us very little notice of moving out and only a couple of hours to move out. We live over 3 hours away and they helped us make it happen. Thank you!

AMY S | Overall ExperienceGreat facility and friendly staff.
JESSICA S | Overall ExperienceFriendly staff! Access to unit was always clean and clear! Never experienced any issues!
SCOTT M | Overall ExperienceAll around a very positive experience. The only negative is they “do not participate” in the free months rental of a storage unit as advertised by uhaul. The staff is friendly and efficient.
Cody B | Overall ExperienceOther than the bird droppings all over the floor when we moved in, I don’t have any other complaints. The lady that worked most Saturdays was very friendly and welcoming.

Privacy R | First ImpressionsNice staff and a great facility, no issues there. Disappointed that the facility does not honor the free month promotion. Wish the roads had been plowed snow through the facility.
Privacy R | First Impressionseasy to get to from I-81.
Privacy R | First ImpressionsI asked for a 5x10 unit and only the 10x10 was available, which costs more so I`m upset. After, the unit had a stain on the ground and clearly had not been swept of cobwebs in some time
