Do not come here!!! They break your stuff and dont care. They tore my daughters bed up. I didnt have the tools to take it apart so I left it in the area where my unit is. No I did not call I figured they were closed and no one would answer. Instead of just waiting for me to come back first thing in the morning they broke her bed beyond repair. This is the last thing I have of my daughters and now its ruined. They told me I should have wrote a note or called.

This place is unprofessional. DO NOT rent or try to rent a uhaul from this establishment. The worthless individual that tried to help me could not run the payment, would not accept cash and then pushed me out to help another customer. …

There were some issues with the U-Haul rental website on the day of the rental. The employee tried the best they could to resolve the issue in the moment by called the U-Haul reps. Unfortunately, we are a third party dealer for U-Haul and only have access to so many options.

Don't do it! We used this place for 2 months. Initially it was great, staff friendly. Then the July 4th, 2026 storm came through and flooded my son's unit, losing everything from his kids beds, bedding, clothes, dressers etc. And Insurance refused to pay out because it doesn't cover flooding, but it covers tornados and windstorms but they have so many loopholes that they get your money for the insurance but loopholes keep them from having to paying out.

I have stored here for many years - other than Jeff (the first guy) who was great - it has steadily gone downhill since. Other than a few pleasantly rare exceptions since Jeff, this place has become very fee happy since then. After the pandemic, good luck ever getting a fee waived. They even create ways to charge you a late fee that really walks the line of being within reason or not.

Kristin- After looking at your account, it appears that rent hasn't been paid for some time. You can reach out to the employee onsite to see if a payment arrangement can be made or [email removed] - The AMSS Team

When a single woman, traveling alone, had a flat tire outside of this location (which is located on a very busy street) and subsequently pulled in here to change it, one of the workers came running out and told her she had to leave immediately. Completely and totally unacceptable and dangerous!

Jennifer- I have watched the video footage of the incident you bring up. Our employee walked outside because three cars pulled into the opening of our property and blocked the very small space we have there as well as the gate that … More

If I could leave zero stars I would. Months ago we reserved a uhaul truck from this location and hoped things would go smoothly. Confirmed the night prior. Showed up to this location during their hours of operation and no one was to be …

Taylor - I have looked into your issue. It looks like you made a 24/7 reservation on Uhaul. We are a 3rd party dealer for Uhaul products. When a 24/7 reservation is made it not something our employees have to interact with or set up. The Uhaul corporate office handles it all.

The couple that runs the storage are very good people!! The husband and I can sit there and shoot the breeze probably all day long but, we don't get to cause he usually gets a phone call that he has to take. His wife is so sweet she is easy to talk to as well. I definitely recommend this storage company to all my friend's and my family! American Self Storage #5 is the Best!!!!

Very nice people. The lady I spoke with over the phone made frequent attempts to communicate and inform me of things pertaining the storage space policies and perks. The payment process was easy and she was very polite, sweet and helpful. I also enjoy the discount opportunity if you recommend a friend !
