Tried multiple times to rent from this location. Even got approved multiple times . I had to reach out serval times over phone I was always given the run around . As if they don’t have anything in stock or can’t make delivery, very disappointing

Friendly. Had to wait for them to get off phones upon arrival. Then we had a deposit issue that they did not hesitate to take care of! I enjoyed our mini conversation. I don’t like calls from any company but it’s expected at least one time but several is a bit extreme! Other than that.. I would recommend

I’m begging you do not rent anything from this store. Please choose another store to go to. The staff is simply incompetent and lack the basic skills to even put your information in correctly. Then when they find out that they messed up they avoid accountability at all cost. If you do go just avoid Andrea as she is the one who couldn’t simply meter information correctly.
