Mandy at the front desk was extremely helpful and friendly! Provided great customer service and walked me through all the details of renting a space for my boat and how I could get the best deal that fit my needs. Couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful, answered all my questions and concerns. Glad to know there will be great customer service available if I have any concerns in the future!

I called the Johnston Extra Space Storage this evening (evening shift on 10/16) with a concern about my storage rate increasing from about $98 to $138 after three months. I hadn’t realized the original rate was promotional.
The young lady working this evening was extremely professional, patient, and thorough. She clearly explained how the promotional pricing works, why the rate adjusted, and what options I had moving forward. She even went above and beyond by offering a partial discount now and letting me know that a potentially better discount might be available if I waited for a follow-up call tomorrow.
I really appreciated her empathy and the way she provided multiple solutions rather than a one-size-fits-all answer. She made the whole experience easy to understand and left me feeling valued as a customer.
I didn’t catch her name, but I want to make sure management knows she was the representative on duty during this evening’s shift, she deserves recognition for her excellent service.
