The experience at this location, along with U-Haul's call center and the original rental location in Northridge, was disappointing.
The background with the experience at Reseda Wireless is that another U-Haul location in Northridge gave away the moving dolly that was a part of my moving truck reservation. This happened the night before I had a 9am move-time coordinated with 4 other people. So the initial error was due to another location, hence the 2 stars instead of just 1 star. But there were issues with the truck rented by Reseda Wireless as it was out of alignment and had no windshield fluid. I had to deal with this for over 500 miles. And despite it being marked as half-full of gas, it was completely empty when I picked it up which created problems when returning the truck at the receiving location.
I was directed to this location which is not open on Saturdays... I tried to avoid that incase there were any issues. When I finally got in the truck and opened the back, there was no dolly to be found and no employees that could help. So I was forced to go to a Home Depot in Van Nuys on a Saturday morning, where at least a dozen workers in the parking lot tried to solicit work from me entering/exiting the store. My girlfriend was visibly uncomfortable due to the attention there. I ended up spending $175.18 on a dolly because they were picked over. This entire ordeal made me over an hour late to meet the rest of the group, negatively impacting our move schedule.
I actually made 3 attempts with U-Haul to try to find some kind of resolution before any online action was taken. In the end, U-Haul's representatives didn't think my time and trouble were worth anything more than $50. I would have gladly paid $50 to avoid putting my girlfriend in that situation, having to spend $175 on a dolly, making us late and forcing 4 other people to wait on us. read more
