I was told that the truck was cleaned, however, it was not and I had to clean it first to be able to move a mattress in the truck. I took pictures with my cell phone if you would like to see them. You can reimburse me for the additional cleaning that I had to do. Also the requested furniture pads were not available.
Ingrid S.Nothing to do with the location but the websit would not let me check in once I arrived. The link kept taking me in circles
TARA S.Friendly Automotive definitely lives up to their name! Everybody is very kind. This was my first time renting a cargo trailer from U-Haul and the entire experience was a breeze. From the rental, to the pick up, to the drop off it couldn't have gone any smoother. I rented a 5 x 8 enclosed trailer to haul a couch and it was the perfect size and the trailer was very east to tow. I will definitely use the U-Haul location at Friendly Automotive West next time I need a trailer.
peggy K.I Was unable to get in the truck due to a lack of adequate steps on it's side. Had to let my son in law take it.
JOHN M.My only complaint with the location is the truck parking area. There is really no area. For the average driver, it is impossible to back it in to on of the spots. Having a bigger parking area would make it easier for the customers to park when returning the truck. Truck was very clean, customer service was very friendly. ps, I didn't even try to back it in.
Erin C.Chelsea was fantastic!
Sharon B.Just the right size truck in just the right location. The daily charge is reasonable, but $1.59 per mile seems steep.
Mike W.Very friendly and helpful.
Stephen M.Felix was fantastic!
BRUCE L.U-haul per mile rate is to high.
JOSEPH B.Had no problems at pick up they hooked everything up them selves I had to do nothing but drive away.
JERRY O.Rental went great. Truck was there and the guys at Friendly Automotive were nice and prompt. Would do it again.
Brenton V.Very nice people. Thank you for making it easy.
Carol M.This location does not support 24/7 pickup despite what UHaul says. I wasted an hour waiting for the owner of the location to arrive before I could get the keys to the truck.
Noah B.I spent a half hour trying to upload a photo of the odometer on your app. It wouldn't let me upload a photo and the photo I took with the app didn't upload. I ended up going to the website to manually upload it. Using the app wasn't easy at all.
NATHAN DANIEL S.Everything was great!
BOBBIE F.Everything went great from pick up to drop off!
SaraBeth D.I had some difficulty with the before hours pick up and after hours drop off.

STEVEN JAMES P.On property personal vehicle parking.
MARK H.Very positive experience. I will rent again and not buy that expensive pickup!!!
jeri J.The system was down so they didn't have my credit card information onhand. The staff weren't very friendly perhaps because the system was down.
Colleen C.I was very happy with everything. Close to where I live and that is nice. Very happy with the service. Gary Allen
GARY A.Good location close to my house, but for a trailer, kinda tight. Also, tried to return last night but didn't see any cameras. I was worried about the trailer getting stolen, so I kept it until morning.
Ryan V.They were very nice and helpful. Had everything ready to go when I got there.
David T.The person at the front desk was not wearing a mask. They have a pet bunny in the building, cool, but bunny crap and pee everywhere. Disgusting
HOLLIS H.Horrible location to drop off a huge uhual truck
Justin C.It's hard to back anything into this super small place. They have to many junk cars sitting around. They didn't help us hook the trailer up this time.
HEATHER H.Loved the rabbit. The young lady is also great and friendly. I will rent there again when I rent. Bill Hackett
WILLIAM H.This is the second time I've had the pleasure of receiving Chelsea's stellar customer service for Uhaul rentals at Friendly Automotive in Yakima. She is knowledgeable, personable, and efficient. I consider using Uhaul for future projects because of the quality service, products, and pricing. Thank you.
Erin W.Great place to visit for automotive or U-haul needs.
RON M.The whole experience was horrible. We reserved a truck to be picked up in Ellensburg , they called the day before and said they didn't have a truck and we would have to go to Yakima to pick up I don't feel like we should have tp pay the mileage between Ellensburg and Yakima and the additional mile as from Ellensburg back to Yakima ( approx 80 miles ) this was Ellensburg U-Haul error. Furthermore when we picked up the truck in Yakima we said we only needed it for 24 hours we asked the owner what time we Need to have it back on Sunday he said it doesn't matter because we aren't open anyway. When we got the bill we were charge for today. I feel we are due a refund for the 80 miles and a refund for 1 day . Also when we made a stop after picking it up we noticed the gas cap was not secure there we were losing gas. If I don't here from you within 24 hours I will be filing a review on yelp as well
ROBERT S.Not a reflection on Friendly Automotive (who were professional and prepared), I would never recommend U-haul to a friend due to the reservation policy (it is not a reservation, despite the name... Only a "request"). You are not guaranteed a vehicle, truck size, or location... And they will not notify you of the lack of availability until 24-48 hours prior to pickup date. Which means, if you have a set moving date, you are just out of luck.
Laura G.The pick up location was great. However, U-Haul overall was not helpful. I had the worse experience. I was called the day before our rental and was told the only truck available was located 2hours in the wrong direction. I then received poor customer service from the U-Haul rep. This was an extreme inconvenience. The fact that you say a truck is available and then its not but then you don't offer any other help is just unacceptable.
Jason W.The mileage was written down incorrectly. They were closing and didn't go over the appearance or the miles before we had to leave.
Chad P.Very friendly and easy to work with.
Charles M.The lady that helped me, I didn't catch her name, but she was extremely nice, extremely helpful and all around amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone that needs a uhaul
Deanna P.Absolutely nothing!!!

PATRICK M.It was all great.
RICHARD J.Not much I can think of. Loved the experience.
AURELIO B.All the people were very helpful. The kid did a great job hooking the trailer up for me.
Steve H.quick explanation of your COVID requirements would be helpful. Do I need to clean the trailer in some way prior to return? Do I need to wear a mask in your office space?
JAMES L.Easy, easy drop-off.
Jennings R.Owner Felix is awesome . Good communication when needed.
John R.I only used 1 dozen pads, which are neatly folded. The other dozen are unused, still sealed in the bag. I'd like a refund if possible. Thank you.
