Mark & Leonard at the Busse location go far beyond their call of duty and excel at customer service. Exceptional care of their customers seems to be their main focus which is a nice change from my previous experiences w/other storage companies. They are on site every day & are easy to reach when you call. Both shared rates & gave me a tour of the facility ensuring I had chosen the best size and were generous with their time- I never felt rushed. They have convenient payment options, great rates, and accommodate your needs beautifully. Every time I’m there, Mark says Hello & asks if I need anything. Truly remarkable storage rental experience! I highly recommend Metro Storage on Busse. Place your belongings in good hands w/Mark & Leonard!

Have had a storage unit for a number of years at the Des Plaines location. Some of the previous managers have had less than ideal people skills.

I needed to store some household items so, following the advice of a good friend, I visited the Metro Self Storage facility in Des Plaines. Mark, the gentleman who manages this facility, was extremely helpful and quite professional. He provided a tour of the facility; detailed the features and benefits of Metro’s property, parking and available storage units. Once I decided on a unit, Mark thoroughly explained the rental policies and pricing and demonstrated how to access the building from the door nearest my storage unit. I couldn’t be more pleased with my decision to rent from Metro Self Storage in Des Plaines.

Mark was wonderful with the entire moving process. He showed me all the possible storage units and gave me recommendations based on how many items I would be storing. He also gave my fiancé a referral discount. He was very patient with us despite multiple phone calls, thanks Mark!

Moving, in general, is stressful; but Mark was a total professional and made this part of the process as stress-free as possible!

I had a very positive experience dealing with Marc. Very exceptional customer service. I had a client who was frantic about getting a storage locker to put her belongings in while her condo was under remodel. Marc took it upon himself to make sure she was provided enough storage for her belongings, reassuring her that her stuff would be safe and worked with me, her contractor to get her all set up for the movers to bring her stuff. He was very accommodating especially when we were in a hurry to get this all set up. The move in and move out was made easy and very appreciative. Marc was always available to answer any and all questions. I would highly recommend the DesPlaines metro storage. Working with Marc was a pleasure.

Vincent is the best. He is professional, knowledgeable and courteous. He goes beyond as well. He cut his lunch short to help me. He even helped me fix an issue with my paperwork. After an exceedingly frustrating day his assistance was outstanding. The facility itself is nice. Located closer to everything than one would expect. The layout seems efficient. I have no complaints.

Eliza, the manager, was exceedingly professional, yet friendly, and patient with my many questions.

Really nice and clean facility. I spoke with a polite man named Vincent who called me and stayed an hour later for me past the closing time !
