The process of getting a storage unit was quick and easy. The property manager, Laurie, was able to accommodate all my needs and answer all my questions thoroughly and kindly! 10/10 recommend this location.

I went in because we are moving out of our apartment in a few months and we are in the process of packing up. Our small house doesn’t have room for extra boxes, so we got a 5x10 unit. I stopped in and Irene was so kind in explaining the whole process. I told her that we only needed it for a few months and she said that was fine. It’s so easy with the mobile app too!

I went in today and was helped by Yasenia. It was my first time renting storage and I didn’t know the process. She kindly asked me my needs and showed me storage units on site. She explained the advantages/disadvantages of choosing my storage in person and online. After doing my research I got the best unit for my money. I highly recommend this store. Thanks for all your help Yasenia.

Don’t leave reviews much. Been coming here a lot since early last year, and I gotta say I enjoy stopping by whenever I need to. If you need help or anything, get in touch with Irene, she’ll figure it out. Very helpful. Keeps the place comfortable during these unpleasant times. Would not want to use another location 10/10

I went to the location on chicago street and Sherise was an amazing 🤩 help!!! She was very kind and patient helping me figure out if my items will fit in a 7.5 x10 once we realize it wasn’t. She helped me look for another public storage in the area with bigger size and cheaper rates. Luckily we found one Sherise took her time to reach out to the other storage on big timber and spoke with Jesse who was also freaking amazing. Jesse explained everything in complete details that way before I left I understood everything. Jesse was also very kind and patient as well while I was able to attend to my 1yr old (who likes her as well) Thank You Jesse and Sherise for making me feel Welcome Y’all rock ❤️💪🏾

I’ve been a customer here for roughly a year now, and it’s one of the few places I can say I’m pretty comfortable visiting. I’ve gotten to know Irene, the manager, and I have to say she runs this place well. If you have any issues she will handle them quickly. I’m not the type to leave reviews but this place is great

I sold my property and have been looking for storage units for my stuff until I find a place to settle. I was cheerfully greeted by Lori at the front desk. She was very polite and informative concerning the size of the units, what was available and the prices. She was helpful & very thorough in answering all the questions I had. Lori is an asset to your company and I feel confident in the safety and security of the facility at 665 big timber Road in Elgin.

I am looking to sell my home and stopped in this past week and spoke to the Property Manager Irene about renting a unit. She took the time to answer all my questions and even took me out so I could see different size units. I was so impressed by her knowledge and expertise.The property was very clean and nice. As she walked me back to the office I told her in September when my house goes on the market Irene will be the lady I rent with.

I usually deal with Irene who is great but yesterday I dealt with Sarah and I must say she was amazing. Not my first time having her help me either. Very nice, friendly, caring and compassionate. I was going in to make a payment and was having a bad day but by the time I left it was turned around. She made my day all the better. I have seen the reviews on her and I must say they are all good and all very true. Public Storage did good in hiring her and Irene both. Customer service is above and beyond with them both!!!! They aim to serve and please their customers at this location!!!

I started renting from Public Storage today. Paula was the employee that helped me. I found her to be kind, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with. I like that there is secure access and indoor storage. They use some good locks for the storage lockers as well. Most importantly, Id say, is the good nature of the employees here. I hope that they are treated well by the company. Ive read many other good reviews about this storage building and especially, its employees.

Excellent customer service, professionalism, clean facility! Debbie and Laura Jo were helping me set up. Both were very knowledgable, very friendly, pleasant, and understanding. Debbie gave me a tour of the facility and helped me pick a storage unit based on my needs. I am very happy with choosing the Big Timber location. Given my circumstances the two ladies made me feel at ease and I always look forward to seeing their happy faces when I need something from my storage unit. Thank you Debbie and Laura Jo!

One thing i can say that is 100 percent for certain..The manager really does care about her job and customers and that is a fact...we had a misunderstanding and i was alittle upset ..I dont know many businesses nowdays that could give a care about troubles in your personal life but i can say that she does ..i dont know any businesses nowdays that WOULD even bother to give you a call to hear what you had to say but she did!!!.....I really really admire a person like this !!!....its too bad that most companies in the world today have forgotten about customer service and satisfaction and only worry about the bottom line....its nice to see a manager who cares about both.....so if you have a problem i would want everyone to know this...just CALL HER AND EXPLAIN AND I BELIEVE FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN FIRST HAND THAT SHE IS A REALLY CARING PERSON AND WILL TRY HER BEST TO REMEDY THE SITUATION ....

I am a long standing customer of Public Storage and am grateful for the opportunity to acknowledge the property manager, Laura Jo, at your Big Timber facility as one of the most terrific people I have ever had to work with and that is what she does, work with you. In addition she is always upbeat, friendly, courteous and willing to go out of her way to help. I smile when I walk through the door and see her behind the counter. I have also seen and heard her interact with other clients and she has the same demeanor with all of them. You are fortunate to have such a great employee.

Our company has rented storage units/parking spaces here for several years and we have been very satisfied. They do a great job managing and maintaining this facility which provides us with the best possible sense of security, and that is the most important thing we look for in a storage facility. Laura Jo has been excellent to work with in all of our experiences here. Based on our experiences, I can easily recommend this business/facility to anyone with storage needs.

I would rate my experience with public storage as a 4.5. Great atmosphere, well informed. The representative (laura Jo) was very helpful . It is obvious that she knows public storage very well and is great personality. The explanation of how the $1 rent works was easily understood and explained in a timely manner without all the red tape. I definitely would recommend a friend to use public storage as a great option for their storage needs.
