I have been a customer for almost 2 years. I have always paid on time and kept my 2 spots I rent clean. I have been passed over on the list for a pull through spot at least once. I called in to prepaid for April rent and was talking to the lady on the phone about the pull through spot I wanted. After paying for my 2 spots and talking about the pull through spots she reluctantly said there was one available. I went in to look at the pull through spot and finalize any paperwork that was needed. My previous 2 spots cost me $125 per month and the pull through was $100. I suspect that was why I was passed over before. Keep in mind I prepaid for April and today is March 31st. I was all ready to move my boat and trailer to my new pull through spot when I asked for my $25 credit to just be put toward May rent. The woman told me she would not credit my account. When I asked why? She told me “I’m doing you a favor.” I normally don’t get upset but I couldn’t believe she was basically going to take my $25 and not credit me. She offered no explanation other than that. I made a comment to her”In what way are you doing me a favor? I’m a paying customer who provides you with a job, are you moving my boat and trailer to the new pull through spot? “She then told me not raise my voice ( I didn’t)She then threatened to call the police on me. I calmly said yes please call the police so I can tell them how you’re stealing my $25 right now. She didn’t call the police probably because she realized what a shyster she was being. In the end she would not give my money back. I told her I would remove my boat and trailer and go somewhere else. I can’t believe a place would treat a consistent paying customer in such a terrible and unnecessary way. ... Read more

I called to ask a few questions and right off the bat the lady did not sound too happy to answer my call. Then continued to to laugh at me when I asked to get pricing on storage. Then when I told her what I needed she said outside storage only. Which on the website it specifically shows indoor storage. Just from the phone call I will never bring any of my business to this place. Very unprofessional! ... Read more

Even though I didn't end up renting from them this place is great. Pat is so nice and will go out of her way for you. Really great service with the customer in mind. Spaces are set up well and it had large file ways. Reasonably priced and plenty of security cameras. It's clean and they are constantly upgrading their facilities. Very impressed. The only reason I didn't rent was due to proximity, buts it's not far very close and easy to get to from VanDyke. ... Read more

Have there been any complaints of theft? A: With the help of our elaborate security system, we pride ourselves in being one of the area's only storage facilities with zero thefts. In fact, some local police officers are customers and will often visit at all hours of the day. I guess there is always time for a first complaint - Sometime between the end of September and the beginning of November – someone crawled underneath my motorhome and sawed off the catalytic convertors from the exhaust system. They also did the same thing to the motorhome parked next to mine. If you have a vehicle parked at the storage yard, you may want to verify that your exhaust system is still intact. I filed a police report with the Shelby Township police department, and they will be investigating further. I visited the office and told the person inside. She informed me that there isn’t anything that they will do, since I don’t know when the issue occurred. They only look at the backup security camera footage if someone informs them within a 2 week time period, due to how they back up their system. I was told, that I should look into filing a claim with my insurance company. Been storing with them for over 2 years - no problems until now. Not sure who monitors the gate, but people can tailgate each other in pretty easily. The "walk in" gate at the rear outside storage area is easily accessible - because it is never locked. When do the security tapes get reviewed?? I shouldn't be the one informing you, that you had a problem. Not a happy camper about this. I hope changes are made, and security processes are improved. ... Read more

I wanted to rate it a 4 or 5, because I really do like the place... and the staff is AWESOME, However I did have a fairly severe problem. THERE WAS A TON of mice in the units... I had 2 units there for a LONG time, almost all of contents of one of them had to be thrown away due to mouse damage... (Mouse Feces and I'm assuming Urine) Even though I put traps and repellents in them... Didn't really help. And NO I did not have any food of any kind in the unit. It was kind of a bummer. I was afraid to look in half the boxes because they had holes chewed in them, and some ended up having dead mice in them... Bummer... ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

Storage units available at Universal Storage - 12222 West 24 Mile Road include the following amenities: Climate-Controlled, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Credit Cards Accepted and RV Storage. Depending on what you need to put away in storage, you can discover there are some things you absolutely need, so make sure you check with the facility manager that you'll find everything you need on site.

You already know how much stuff you need to put in self storage, so figuring out the unit size you need is the next step. Smaller units such as 5'x5' or 5'x10' spaces can usually be filled with the amount of items you would normally store in a closet: a few chairs and lamps, sports equipment, garden tools and some boxes.

Moving on to larger sizes, imagine the 10'x10' and 10'x15' units as similar to a bedroom or a living room – larger pieces of furniture, sturdier equipment and bicycles can fit here. Finally, a 10'x20' unit has enough space for the contents of a 3-bedroom house, while the larger 10'x30' space easily accommodates the contents of a loaded semi-truck.

Accessibility and quickness are key when it comes to storage, so drive-up storage units are generally regarded as very convenient. Pull your car right up to your storage space, load, unload, and you're good to go! However, if you're mostly storing temperature-sensitive items, you should rather consider indoor storage units.

Climate-controlled units maintain consistent temperatures and humidity levels all year round, making them perfect for all your sensitive items. Moisture and varying temperatures can damage a whole host of things, and that is why a lot of people choose to use climate-controlled units to store items like wooden furniture, electronics, artwork, documents and photographs, collectibles, antiques, etc. If the belongings you're storing are important to you, you should consider renting a climate-controlled unit.
