It is difficult to write a review for a company that has so many good things to say about it without it turning into a book! I left Oregon and went to Oklahoma for a year and one of the first things I did was look for a place to store my things that offer reasonable rates. I found that Smart Storage in Tualatin has the lowest rates offered by all competitors in the area hands down. The day I secured my unit at Smart, I was immediately struck by the outstanding service I received by the young office manager, Joanna Brands. That first encounter consisted of one accommodation after another; for example, I had not purchased a lock and that was no problem. Joanna furnished me with a heavy duty lock and keys at no cost! I left the responsibility of my monthly payments with my two daughters. Well, everything did not go smoothly in the area of making the monthly payments on time. At one point my daughter who has a very busy schedule working to put herself through college totally forgot that she was supposed to be making the payments! I was almost 2000 miles away and thank God for the diligence that Joanna Brands exercises in doing her job, she not only sent me an email to notify me about it; she called my cell phone number and left several messages to inform me that payment was not being made on my unit. It turned out that my daughter had not made payments for four months! The payments increased because of the late fee for all of those months and the current monthly payment was also due. I was going through a family crisis in Oklahoma, Joanna negotiated an arrangement with me to just pay all of the rent for the months past and due minus the late fees! I have returned from Oklahoma and am happy to report that my things are still safely stored in the unit I rent. I had come to the conclusion that this storage facility must be a family owned business and that Joanna must be the daughter of the owners. Not true! To my surprise, this is a corporate business. I have stored my things in other storage facilities throughout the years and never have I had such an overwhelming experience with the quality, price, off the hook security measures, and easy access to my unit that includes accommodations that assist me so that I do not need help from anyone to get my items in or out of the unit. But the most rewarding asset of all is Joanna Brands, the people at Smart should know if they don't already, that Joanna does not perform her duties as if it is a job, she performs her job as if she is an owner of the company. read more
