Customer Review for A-1 Self Storage in San Juan Capistrano, CA

Cori Garrod August 29, 2016 Customer Reviews

At A-1 Self Storage, we sincerely value your patronage and your thoughts. Our goal is to ensure we provide quality products and the high level of customer service you deserve. We encourage our customers to provide feedback, so we may continue to provide the best experience possible.

Teddi O. recently submitted her “A-1 Story” about her experience at A-1 Self Storage in San Juan Capistrano, CA.

“I live in Arizona and visit my daughter frequently. This visit, however, was going to be a longer visit. We planned on doing a number of craft projects together. I decided to pull my cargo trailer to have better access to my supplies. I parked my trailer in my daughter’s apartment parking using her extra parking pass. No problem for the first two weeks. Then I was told that trailers could not be parked there and that I had to move it within 48 hours. I offered to pay for a space, but my offer was rejected.  I planned to return home early. I asked them for an additional 18 hours. I was told that towing had already been scheduled for the 48 hour deadline. Boy, was I unhappy.

I had rented storage once before with A-1, so I headed there [sic], San Juan Capistrano location. Alysa had been pleasant the first time around, but this time she turned a very stressful, unhappy situation into something easy and calm. I drove the trailer home, stored my supplies, and returned to stay even longer. First time around..good. Second time..more so. Would recommend A-1 again and again.”

We’re so glad to hear that we were able to help, Teddi. Thank you for sharing your story with us!
