A-1 Self Storage - Self Storage Near Me - El Cajon, California

This is Debbie Scott again; your loyal customer for 6 yrs. I have already left a review and my "Thieft Issue of over half of my Storage locker nor have I received a call from your head office." The Most Important Fact I Failed to Mention in my first post is that, "I NEVER RECEIVED A KEY FROM A1 STORAGE WHEN THEY CHANGED THE LOCKS IN NOVEMBER 2018 WHEN I MOVED IN, THEREFORE I HAD ZERO ACCESS TO MY STORAGE UNIT; ONLY THE EMPLOYEES OF A1 STORAGE DID. I really hope that this horrific event doesn't happen to anyone else and I am only following up because no one from their Company has reached out to me to do the right thing. I NEVER HAD A KEY! read more

Great experience everything went smooth! Service was helpful and professional had no problems with anything

A-1 Self Storage - Front lobby - Self Storage Near Me - El Cajon, California

Clean place to store your items. Property is gated so it's tough to get in if you don't have the code, which I prefer. They keep the storage area nice and cool. Also, it's right off the freeway so it's easy to get to. read more

Ariana was very helpful and polite! she assisted me with a unit that best fit my need and was in my price range!

This is by far the worst storage place I have ever done business with!! I was given a price and by the next month it gone up 25 bucks. The place closes at 5 o'clock or 6 o'clock on the weekends. That's when everybody needs to move their stuff. Why have it so early then if you're late, you have to actually call to get out of the place cause you're stuck in the place yeah it's the most ridiculously run place ever highly recommend not using this place at all. The manager Crystal is rude as can be. She should be flipping burgers instead of communicating with people. read more

Getting storage was an easy process! Jessica was super nice helpful and professional :) I def recommend this place read more

A-1 Self Storage - Ask for Jessica she is awesome. - Self Storage Near Me - El Cajon, California

See all

I'm writing this review on behalf of my uncle. He had a storage unit here for 7 months and the last few times he's gone his stuff has been ransacked. Boxes have been dumped over and the tape has been removed and out back on. You can definitely tell someone has been in there and he is the only one with a key. They've also increased the price 2 times without any notice. I wouldn't recommend this storage unit at all. read more

Jessica was very nice, reserved my unit online and went to the store and check in was easy. Jessica took the time to show me the unit and explained everything to me . read more

Super nice people! Gary, especially was most kind to us! Very clean and organized. Good parking. They know what they are doing!!

Very pleasant and helpful experience! Staff was extremely helpful! Was fully pleased with the amenities and customer service.

They raise their prices a lot every year, so you're stuck paying unless you move your stuff. The staff is so-so, not super friendly. It does have better security though since nine units were broken into a few years back. I would recommend looking elsewhere. read more

This is a fantastic facility! Clean units and courteous staff is always a plus. This was a very simple fast and user friendly storage rental process I have experienced. Cris was exceptionally helpful and has wonderful customer service. He made a stressful move much less hectic and went above and beyond my expectations to make sure I had everything I needed for this move to go smoothly. Thank you A-1 And thank you Chris! read more

Units are infested with critters. They also went up on the rent for the unit. The price isn't worth it.

Gary was awesome! Spoke with him on the phone and then walked into the facility. He was very knowledgeable, efficient and courteous. Great place with great staff. read more

I came in from out of town and Jessica (&Team) were great. Created an account online and they were ready and waiting for me. Paperwork was simple and fast. read more

Needed storage space for a couple months and A-1 delivered exactly as advertised. The manager Jessica was very professional and gracious! My unit was on the second level, right next to the stairs, which made loading and unloading relatively painless. Be aware that any lock type other than a cylinder lock won't work - bring your own or they can provide one. read more

Thank you so much to Gary for showing me around the facility. He was very nice and was able to get me the right unit at a great price. The place is safe, secure and and clean. read more

Thank you Jessica & Gary. Renting a storage unit online was easy and the assistance you provided me was amazing. I greatly appreciate your patience while I understood the process in accessing my storage unit and competing the lock for me. Thank you !!! read more

I had a great experience with A-1 Storage. Philis was great. The team in El Cajon has great customer service. They were more than just employees but social workers as well. Lol I'll miss them!!! read more

We stored items there for almost five years. Just recently we traveled to San Diego to retrieve them. First things first. Phyllis, the manager, and Patrick, an employee, were great. We have no issues with them. Secondly, we have no issues with the unit itself. Our issues stem with exorbitant rent costs, which increased almost $30 in the time we were there, from $65 to almost $95. Ridiculous and, in our opinion, borderline criminal. We investigated and found that the owner was about to give us another increase to almost $119 had we stayed another month--on a five-by-eleven unit! What's worse is that he has apparently begun employing a computer program to randomly charge customers, and then randomly increase their rents. When computers run the show and human beings are factored out, then what you've got is truly faceless and, in the end, evil. We assume the corporation itself employs this program everywhere now too. So to the owner we say this: May your greed destroy you. To the corporation we say this: May your greed destroy you. To Phyllis and Patrick we say this: May the greed of those who employ you not destroy you but empower and enrich you. So be it. Take our advice, folks. Avoid A1 Storage at all costs. They just aren't worth it. read more
