Here's what I didn't experience at All American- I didn't have roaches after storing my whole apt for 4 months while I left the Bay Area. When I have used other storage facilities in the past, after bringing everything out I will bug bomb my boxes and things. But I haven't seen any evidence of roaches (or other annoying pests)- That's pretty incredible for a storage place and worth 5 stars alone. What I did have was peace of mind! A friend recommended All American and even though I thought the pricing might be a bit high, I am glad I chose All American. I really liked working with Shylo, she's a gem- very professional with excellent customer service skills. Even though I hope to never need storage again, I highly recommend All American Self Storage! read more

The folks at All American Storage were great to work with. They showed me the units that were available and helped me decided which one was the best for my needs. Ben was very helpful and informative. The units are clean and the area is well maintained. I hope to have a good relationship with them as I start to move my things. Toy read more

Great customer service. Clean and well laid out facility. Highly recommend! (Plus=candy and coffee in lobby!)

Prices have doubled in the 6 years I've had my things in storage. Inside it's gotten very sooty and there is evidence that rats have been in my unit--paw prints and tail marks on the dust. I never intended my stuff to be stored for so long but they're a bit predatory with rate hikes, recently adding a $15 "insurance" what's insured I have no idea. I'm working to GTFO there read more

I was looking for a storage unit for my business. I had called the day before and spoke with TJ. He was extremely helpful in helping ascertaining what size unit my business needed and invited me for a tour. I dropped by the next morning and TJ was also very helpful in showing various units. There was one specific unit I really liked and I should have signed up right away but I wanted to check out another storage facility first before committing to a lease. Big mistake on my part! When I returned, TJ told me the bad news and showed me another unit. I immediately signed up and TJ was awesome in explaining everything. I will write a follow-up review in a couple of months about my experience here but it's been a very excellent start. Thanks TJ! read more

All American self storage on Detroit drive in San Mateo is excellent I would say five star absolutely Shiloh took my reservation and it was so wonderful that I decided to rent the larger space with the roll up door and I am pleased that my 10x25 is large enough that I can reorganize the things in life that are important to me. I'd like to use an additional paragraph just to say that this place is brand new I didn't see any roaches anywhere I didn't see any mice anywhere I was impressed that the building was so shiny and new even the floor was absolutely perfectly clean and so not only are the people here perfect but the building is perfectly new I can recommend this place to anyone anywhere with confidence amen I give it my highest rating without a doubt. I love the free pen they gave me it lights up read more

Loaded my truck wit's all my stuff today but nothing locked in yet as far as a storage unit. I called 5 places and they either didn't have anything open or were ridiculously expensive. Then my last call was to All American Self Storage. Shiloh was super friendly on the phone and super helpful. They had exactly what I needed for a great price. 20 minutes later I was there and 10 minutes after that it was all squared away. The gentleman in the office that helped me do the paperwork was awesome as well. Will be my future recommendation to everyone I know place when it comes to storage. read more

This place is very organized and neat. As a first time costumer i get $50 off my first month! . The area is located is away from the city, less traffic. We also get complimentary coffee and snacks! Great service overall. Thank you! read more

I got my first storage locker with All American Self Storage in 2001 and today I rented a 2 unit with them today. I wouldn't trust any other place with my stuff. It's helpful that the staff is really nice and helpful when you have questions. The prices on the units are really good so that's also a big plus. read more

I needed a unit closer to home and at a better rate. With gas prices rising, I need something closer to home. I've passed by this place for years and always thought about moving units. But the thought of moving all my stuff was definitely not appealing. Finally, was fed up with my belongings being 5 miles away, opposed to around the corner sounded way better. I saw the reviews on this place and requested a quote. Which happened to better review wise and value. Thank you Shilo for getting back to me promptly and also thanks to TJ for the informative and great customer service. Also thanks to the guy that showed me the unit. My apologies for forgetting your name. Thanks for your help! I can't wait to finish moving my stuff .5 a mile away from home. read more

Very friendly staff, clean place. Recommended! Also near by my place so very convenient

TJ and Jose were both very helpful! Made us easy for me to rent storage on the spot! Thank you both! :)

All American Self Storage - Self Storage Near Me - San Mateo, California

I have used all American storage multiple times and i could not recommend enough for short or long term storage needs. Safe and great hours. Thank you TJ for all of your help !! read more

Started my relationship with All American because I was looking for a larger storage unit, and one that accepted the occasional deliveries from FedEx and UPS. While they did not have one available right away, All American did call me back after a few weeks to let me know they had a storage available for my size. Shiloh was fast and friendly, helped me set up everything for my new unit. It was an easy transition from my previous storage unit. Highly recommend! read more

I sold my condo and needed a place to store my things for a few months until I bought a new place and rented a unit here since it was right down the street from my house. I have nothing but good things to say about the staff and the facilities! Shilo and team were always super helpful with all my questions and when I needed to move to a larger unit after a few months, they made it so easy! Once I was ready to move my things out, they were prompt in sending me a refund check for the overpayment amount. Thanks to the team for taking care of your customers! read more

I am so Blessed to have found this place, it's such a good location and everything looks so clean! The best part is how friendly and helpful all the staff are, specially T.J. who had kindly showed me the available units. I definitely recommend "All American Self Storage", look no further!!! read more

Great service on our first visit. Quick service and fast procedure. T.J . Was awesome and explained everything.

Their prices is a little high but I guess you get what you pay for . They have secure cameras all around . Makes us feel safe using their location . Their wait list is long this means people trust them . The girls at the front desk is very courteous and friendly with the customer s always ready to answer any questions we have . read more

Great customer service as we arrived and quick to find what you're looking for and gates all around to keep your things safe!

Clean and secure storage with a friendly staff that kindly helped me manage moving my belongings while I was abroad, including helping me estimate my storage needs. read more

I just completed a move from Chicago to the Bay Area, and I needed a place to store my belongings while I look for an apartment. It was easy to reserve my storage unit online, but when a sudden car accident happened on my way to San Mateo, I had to postpone my rental. AASS (specifically Mr. TJ Saba) were incredibly understanding, friendly, and supportive. Today when I was finally able to access my unit after a significant delay, I was able to meet Mr. Saba in person, and it was a breeze to get set up with my unit. I would highly recommend All American Self Storage to anyone who requires some additional space for their belongings for any duration of time! read more

Having to rent a storage unit is not one of my favorite things to do, but it was unavoidable when we made a big move and needed to store the contents of our 1-bedroom apartment. We chose All-American based on the excellent Yelp reviews and convenient location. The units are very clean and well-maintained. We went with an interior 7x10 unit, which are carpeted and with good lighting, practically like a hotel for your stuff! The manager Shylo was very helpful to us when we became concerned a few days before our move that everything would not fit in the unit, saying that we could rent a second smaller unit (5x5) if it didn't fit. That is in fact what happened, so Shylo saved us on moving day. In hindsight, it was an ideal arrangement for us, because now we are whittling down our stuff and hope to ditch the 5x5 unit, leaving us just with the 7x10 unit long term. We have now had our storage units for 3 months, and our experience with All-American has been nothing but positive. The management is always helpful and kind, and the place is impeccably clean and dry and feels very safe. Highly recommended! read more

This is the measuring stick as far as self storage is concerned in the peninsula. Been to a couple of storage places and seen others around and by far this place is the standard as far as service and security. (What else could you want??!!) Well maintained and managed, I'd definitely recommend All American Self Storage above the rest! read more

All American Self Storage is the best storage place I've ever rented from. The facilities are clean, each unit is alarmed, and there is a security gate. Their customer service is truly exceptional and go out of their way to help. Their prices are a good value for all they offer. They're truly "5-Star" and I highly recommend as the outstanding choice in the area. read more

Had to rent a small storage space here today. My friend (who has a chevy 1/2 ton truck) took my things there today & I signed the contract. Pat (who I believe is the manager or owner) runs this place like a well oiled machine. Lol. Reasonsonable rates. Great customer service. read more

I'm sad to say that I moved out today. I'm sad because I really enjoyed doing business with All American Self Storage and the staff there. I moved in about January 2013 after shopping around at a couple other places in the area. Their monthly rate was the lowest of the three places I called. When I went in to take a look at the available units, the front desk staff was top notch - super friendly and professional. Another reviewer said that the people there really care about their customers and their experience, and that was absolutely true for me. They always have some positive uplifting signage out on 3rd Ave. Today's message was "Celebrate Life". They change up the sign once in a while. I also found out that they send care packages to some of their customers around the holidays. The front desk guy gave me one when I expressed interest. It was a big envelope with a ton of awesome uplifting poems and positive philosophical messages about life. Anyways, I'm bummed that I have to part ways mostly because I wish all businesses were run like theirs. I know some of what I'm saying sounds ridiculous since this is a storage facility - you get your unit, you move in, and that's about it. It's just that I spent a bit of time chatting up the staff the few times I've been in the office. They're just awesome good people. I saw Todd's review and there's NO WAY based on my experience that what he's saying could be an accurate account of what happened. If you go in and meet the staff or phone them and talk to them, you'll know right away that you're dealing with stellar top-notch people. They're not just nice to you when you're shopping around for a storage unit. They're the type that are consistently kind because that's just the kind of people they are. And, I just remembered that I saw a sign out front that they were awarded 2013 Small Business of the Year from the San Mateo Chamber of Commerce. Another reviewer said they also won 2012 as well. If the location works for you, there's no way you could go wrong with All American. I'd give them 10 stars if I could. :) One more thing, contrary to what Inigo's review says, their gate closes at 9PM. They open at 7AM. They have some of the longest access hours of any storage place I checked out. read more

Great service! Great reception! Great people! Shylo Byard and T.J. Were the best! We need more customer service people rocking like these two! read more

I *love* All American Self Storage. I have had my items 'living' there for nearly 8 years now. My personal items are safe and secure, and I feel confident that they will always be. When I looked into storage units 8 years ago, All American Self Storage had the best prices, and were the closest place to where I live, so it was a win-win all around. Over the years I have down-sized my storage needs, but keep my unit for holiday decorations, books, photo albums (yes, I still have photo albums), and miscellaneous clothing items I am not willing to part with. I love knowing the units are monitored and the gate is locked with a key code. The owners are very professional, and give back to the community on a regular basis - i.e. Toys for Tots. I have recommended this place to other people who have moved into the area and needed storage space, and will continue to recommend All American Self Storage to those who need storage solutions. read more

Giving 5 star for excellent customer service. TJ's very pleasant, professional and made the process of renting storage seamless. Jose's helpful as well. Thank you TJ!! read more

This is a great place. Very friendly staff - I was taken care of by Matt at the office. I reserved a unit and came by on a Sunday afternoon to sign the paperwork. We were done in 15 mins. Place is clean. Secure with alarms in each unit. Happy camper. read more

All American storage is one of the best places where you get what you paid for if not more! They recognized me from a few years back and welcomed me in like I never left! Highly recommend if you need space in your home! Thank you Marisol and TJ! read more

I have been a customer with All American Self Storage for 4 years now. When I was in need of somewhere to store my stuff in a hurry they were right there for me. They explained all of the units to me showed me what was available and helped me decide what was best suited for my needs. Their hours are very convenient I have not experienced any problems since I have been a customer. Easy online payments , refer a friend and you both get $50 and if you pay before the 1st you are entered into their monthly raffles. I haven't won yet but I usually pay after the 1st read more

I've had numerous units since 2006 and have never had an issue. Most of my stuff is packed in plastic as opposed to boxes. Problem with any storage unit is that you can't control what others bring in. read more
