I had a great experience with Rent-A-Center in Chula Vista. The staff went above and beyond, especially Julio, Jose, and Elsa, who provided outstanding customer service from start to finish. I bought a sofa that may not fit in my living room , but instead of leaving me without options, they immediately worked on solutions and recommended a replacement sofa that better fit my needs. What really stood out was their commitment to customer satisfaction. They not only found the right alternative quickly, but also managed to arrange delivery for the very next day—something they originally said might take longer, but they made it happen. Their teamwork, communication, and willingness to help made the entire process smooth and stress-free. They made me feel valued and treated me like family rather than just another customer. I truly appreciate their professionalism and care, and I highly recommend this location for anyone looking for reliable service and genuine support.

Horrible customer service I’m currently renting out a phone that was supposedly new and the battery life is worn out, I talked to Elyssa store manager to talk about pricing as I thought it was unfair to pay such high price for a refurbished item marked as new. The moment I walked into the store she was rude and unprofessional. I work at a rental business myself and could not bring myself to give the level of attitude and entitlement Elyssa has. I asked for a contract transfer to the national city store and the manager said “I won’t do it return your items and get something else with them” absolutely horrible way to treat a customer. RENT A CENTER DO BETTER

Don't recommend this store. The manager Lisa is terrible. They have terrible customer service. They cant even call with a courtesy call on whats going on with your stuff. They picked up my units to supposedly fix and I never got a call not once. According to her units are out of warranty. Im sure she does not know how warranty works. Obviously warranty is only for manufacture defects. She deleted my contract never told me never bothered calling me I had to reach out after a whole month. Don't waste your time coming and getting stuff at this location. Never had problems at other location. They do really shady things over here.
