Mya, you rescued my Thanksgiving! The Chula Vista location had failed me with their over-promising and under delivering. However, Mya and the district manager exceeded expectations the day before Thanksgiving. They managed to transfer my items to this store, assemble the table, and deliver everything within a few hours. Such exceptional customer service is indeed a rarity. My 12 guests and my family extend our heartfelt thanks! Thank you to the delivery team, the store manager even came to help deliver the items, white glove service all around!
Best Service I have seen in a very long time. Juan the Store Manager is the best of the best and is always there to make sure you are treated like family. And answer every question I had I will always recommend this Rent ACenter Location. Topic Notch, Wish I could make it 10 stars.
This was my second visit to this Rent-A-Center and both times were a pleasure thanks to the staff ESPECIALLY the acting manager. Her knowledge and expertise made me as a customer feel at ease and reassured about the process. The rest of the staff was just as friendly and helpful. Will be coming back whenever I need a gaming laptop for work trips.
