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.

See all

Excellently convenient, great service and reasonable rates (about $7/day). How can you go wrong with that? Highly recommend.

We had a very good experience using AAA Quality Self Storage. We moved from a large home to a much…read moresmaller place and had to rent 3 storage bays! Josie worked with us to get the best possible location and was patient with us while we made our decisions. Another GREAT thing they offer is the one time use of their moving truck. That was SOO helpful for the larger items! Every time we go there, we are greeted with soothing music, the place is clean, and they always have moving carts available to use. We also appreciate their nice big, tall elevators. The in and out is very easy as well, especially with the app, where you can open the gate with your phone. We were able to downsize to 2 units and then 1, unit, each time applying any time already paid for, to the remaining units. That was a very nice feature. We also always felt very safe, even on nights and weekends. The place is very well lit. I would recommend AAA Quality Self Storage to anyone looking for a good, dependable storage facility. Top knotch!!

I can't recommend this storage facility after the second time storing here. They have outrageous…read morepolicies like they must have a 14 day written notice to vacate.. i've never had to do that with any other facility and I wish they would tell you that upfront. They are impossible to get a hold of and they give you the run around. The upstairs units are supposed to be temperature controlled but they are lying through their teeth, every-time we went to our unit it was stuffy and hot as heck up there. They also don't manage the space and tenants well, often times I would come and someone would be blocking the gate or taking up the entire loading area even though you can easily fit two cars. There's really no other parking for when you just need to grab a thing or two which leads to that issue as well. Overall awful experience. Dwight was the only great thing about this place as a he was very personable and helpful in getting us set up this time. Very expensive for no temperature control, it's a lie.
