    Chewed through wires costing $6500 in repairs that Private Car Storage will not cover
    Jen W.

    WARNING: THIS GARAGE HAS A RAT PROBLEM! RATS CHEWED THROUGH WIRES CAUSING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE! We've kept our brand new SUV with private car storage for almost a year while we settled in London. The first couple of times we came back to CA there were no issues and everything seemed smooth. During our last trip back to California, we planned on selling my brand new X7 M50i. When we picked the car up we noticed the engine sounded like a lawn mower. We decided to bring it to the BMW dealership straight away and have it checked out. They found that rats had chewed through the wires in the engine and that they would have to remove the engine in order to replace the wiring. Needless to say, we could not sell the car and the damage done was over $6500. We tried to be reasonable and ask private car storage to cover the cost of the repair only. The manager, Stephanie Mui told us that our insurance would cover it and not to worry. Well our insurance will not cover the full cost of the repair and there is a balance of $4500. Not surprisingly, Stephanie has been stringing us along as if she is willing to take responsibility for the damage. It's been 4 months and she's still telling us that she needs to "talk to the board to get approval." We've hired a lawyer and will take them to court for not only the damages done to my car but also for the all the expenses associated with our travel back and fourth to deal with this mess. Needless to say, you cannot trust private car storage with your car. There are plenty of reputable and ethical car storage facilities in the area. You can even check with your dealership for recommendations.

    My car in storage at PCS.

    After finding PCS online, I scheduled an appointment to tour the facility. I spoke to Stephanie and she got me right in for a tour. After my tour with Derrick, I was sold. The combination of facility, staff, and price was unmatched by anyone else in the area. For the next few months, while my car was in storage, the actions of the staff continuously reminded me that my decision to store my car with PCS was a great one. I never lost an ounce of sleep with concerns about the care of my car. Additionally, they were always very gracious and helpful when I needed access to my car. I will absolutely use them again in the future. For all of the reasons stated above, but mainly because of the exceptional staff. The team at PCS is second to none.

    My 1967 Camaro at Irvine location. Always covered, clean and safe. Kevin and the crew always went above and beyond.

    Reasonable price, secure location and they take good care of the car including car wash and covering the car for a charge. Will recommend.

    I have used a lot of storage units back in my day as a college student, but this storage unit has…read moreto be the worst possible storage unit place EVER. 1 - ALARMS Why are there alarms in place that go off seemingly at random? I was never told about this, and EVERY SINGLE TIME I went to move an item out or put an item in, this LOUD ASS ALARM would always go off and scare the ever-loving life out of me. I STILL have NO IDEA why the alarm goes off, and it was never communicated that you had an alarm of any kind. Does it go off because of noise? Or because the office is closed? No idea, but it went off every time I went to this place. Please let us know if there's a lunk alarm like a Planet Fitness! I would've loved to know that before signing on. 2 - PRICES WAY TOO OVERPRICED for what you're getting. You're telling me I get to pay $200 a month to get my ears blasted off every time I come by. I asked about downsizing, and their prices are still crazy for even a 5 x 7 unit. I could get the same storage for half the price at Instorage in Yorba Linda, AND I won't get the shit scared out of me every time I go in there. 3 - CARTS Generally speaking, most storage places have carts or rollers that you can use, these places make it especially hard for you to use these features. They require that you walk to the front desk (which, if it's far from your unit...good luck) give them your ID or keys, then they give you a key to unlock one particular color-coded cart that is even further from your storage unit. Once you walk all the way back to your unit after walking from the carts,,, after walking FROM the office. You can use the cart. Don't worry. Once you're done. You're gonna have to do the whole process in reverse now just to get your ID back. SERIOUSLY need to rethink the way you give out carts. The staff was fine overall, but they never really "helped" when I actually needed help. For a place that was charging so much, you guys could've been a little more helpful, especially with communication regarding that stupid god forsaken alarm. Can you tell what motivated me to write this? Overall,,,would give 0 stars if I could. Never had a worse storage experience than this place.
