I paid my storage fee on the 5th since I forgot to pay on the 1st. I paid because I was moving out on the and was told there will be no prorate being paid back. So I basically paid $75 for a few ours or if you include the first I paid $75 for 5 days to be told I will not get anything back since I was moving out.

THE VEHICLE WAS DIRTY WITH MICE/RAT DROPPINGS. THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE CLEANED.. THE VEHICLE VEHICLE NEEDED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT ASAP. THE VEHICLE NEEDED A OIL CHANGE ASAP. THE GAS WASN'T WHERE I WAS TOLD IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE VEHICLE NEEDED A TUNE-UP ASAP. THE VEHICLE NEEDED BRAKES ASAP. I HAD TO DRIVE EXTREMELY SLOW ON THE EXPRESSWAY TO BE SAFE. I WAS DRIVING UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT WITH MY HAZARDS ON. I WAS INCONVENIENCE ON HOW TERRIBLE THE VEHICLE WAS. I HAD TO DRIVE 20 MILES AN HOUR WHICH MEANS THAT I PUT EXTRA MILES ON THE VEHICLE WHEN I INITIATED THAT I WANTED ONE TO TWO HUNDRED MILES ON THE TRUCK IN THE FIRST PLACE. I AM A UNHAPPY CUSTOMER..😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

The staff was very friendly and professional, the facility was always clean and well-lit. I never felt unsafe considering the location of the facility. It would have been helpful if the storage facility was opened on Sundays . The limited hours was a issue..

I did not use the South Shore storage unit rental. When I went to load my first storage unit over on South Stony Island, they informed me that additional units were indeed available for rental, which I was informed the day I made that reservation that there was only one open at the Stony Island location. So I did all of my Uhaul business at the South Stony Island location.

When I returned the moving truck to the rental location, I was informed that I would be charged for the fuel used. I initially didn’t have an issue with this until the salesperson checked the fuel gauge and told me there would be a 28.00 dollar charge. I disagreed with the salesperson with the amount of fuel I used for my 19 miles. I checked the fuel gauge before leaving the lot and once I returned the vechile and the fuel gauge was only slightly less than when I returned. The salesperson was adamant I used more fuel than I claimed. I eventually went and put more fuel in the truck, needless to say I will not be using this location again nor will I recommend it to anyone.

Overall, the employees at this facility were always pleasant. However, the unit itself was less than adequate. For example, there was water leakage in the unit itself, soo much so, that some of my items were damaged, also, huge water bugs, and rat droppings! Now, I'm aware it's hard to control rodents, in a large older building, but, there was no bait set out for either pests'. The facility also needs to adjust the hours to benefit the client as well...like being open on Sundays, would be one suggestion. Also, the lighting is poor, the motion sensors for the lights, simplly don't work like they should. Hence, overall, for what is charged each month ($52.00/5×5 per/mo.), the conveniences simply don't match the services, too expensive for what you get!! I definitely would not recommend this particular facility for storage!!

This storage facility is good if you are looking for a low-cost storage that you will use periodically. I had no major issues at this location; however, because of the entryway, it is less accessible. This is an old-school storage, with little electric anything. Your items will not be temperature controlled, and you must physically open the doors as to drive your vehicle in for loading. There were some hiccups, but overall I understand that you get what you pay for. Not a high-quality storage facility, but will definitely fit your storage needs. Would recommend!
