SoCal Self Storage – McGee’s Closet

This is one of the most convenient storage locations in Sherman Oaks. Right off Ventura, not too far from the 101 or the 405.
But it’s the customer service that stands out above all the rest. The people there are fantastic, always willing to help out the tenants. Glen in particular is always a smiling face, a friendly voice on the phone and the best representation of everything good about McGees Closet.
One of the more affordable storage places in the area, they also boast their own truck and a huge industrial elevator — larger than most of the units. You can back the truck right up to it. In fact, my only complaint is the fact that on rare occasions, you have to wait a few minutes for someone else to clear the elevator so you can use it, but that’s minor and rare.
Plus, there’s a Goodwill donation spot right around the corner for convenience when you’ve got a few extra items you don’t want to keep.

Glenn & Kathy were both very helpful. I have a few comments about things I wasn’t happy about BUT I’d still recommend this business, hence the 4 stars! They provide free water and sweet treats at reception: o)
There were a few things I had an issue with like the elevator not working properly one day when I needed to get some stuff out of my storage unit but Glenn did his best to assist me and he managed to get it working eventually — it’s a very old piece of machinery so it’s to be expected that it will break down from time to time, though that’s small comfort if you have to haul your things up the stairs!
My other two gripes about this location:
1) I’m from the UK and storage businesses there always refund customers for when they vacate early, provided you give them notice. So I wasn’t very happy to discover that I wouldn’t get a refund for the 8 days I had left on my month’s rental. That being said, I was given a refund on the van hire because they didn’t have a van available for me on the day I moved in.
2) The opening hours were a problem for me. Again, in the UK I had 24 hour access to my storage unit and there were a couple of times I needed to get something out of storage and wasn’t able to get there before closing time, or they weren’t open early enough on the weekend, and that was frustrating. It would be great if there was a way for them to make the building accessible at all times of the day.
A useful point to note, I rented a larger unit because I didn’t want to risk my stuff not fitting in and could easily have rented a smaller unit because the ceilings are so high — so as long as you have the ability to reach up, you could actually stack your things upwards without any fear of touching the ceiling!

From the moment you enter and are greeted by the manager you know you have found the right place. While the location may be incredibly convenient it is the service that goes unmatched.
We cannot reccommend this facility enough.
Service, cleanliness of the facility and prompt, undivided attention is what you can expect.
Glen has made this transition much smoother and much less stressful.
5 stars!!!

Highly recommend! We have had a unit there for years. Staff are friendly and helpful. I appreciate their consideration when we have needed assistance with various things. The facility is clean. I only wish there was more lighting.

I had a great experience with Mcgee’s! Great customer service, and Thanks to Glen, my move was extremely smooth. I would definitely use them again.

I was looking for a storage unit to store all of my precious belongings for a month, while I looked for a new place. I knew someone who had a horrible experience with Public Storage (his unit was broken in to) so I was definitely not going that route. After researching my area, McGee’s came up with incredible ratings. Glen and Cathy did not disappoint. They are incredibly kind and accommodating, and their building and services are exceptional. I couldn’t recommend them any more!

This past summer my big to SF was made easier, thanks to McGee’s Self Storage. Glenn Bute, the manager, was especially helpful. Glenn recommended the right size of storage — not just the most expensive — and made himself available by phone, if questions ever arose. I’ll definitely use McGee’s again if life brings me back to LA.

So Cal Self Storage — McGee’s Closet has been a pleasure to do business with. The facility is clean & well organized. The building is easy to get in & out of with a HUGE freight elevator for simple loading & unloading. There are dollys & ladders available for customer’s use.
Glenn Bute, the manager of the facility is fantastic! He is friendly, kind & accomodating.
My elderly mother recently moved into a small condo & is having a difficult time pairing down.
Glenn has been so patient with her & has offered to help wherever he can. He also gave my mother a great deal on her storage locker :)
Thanks, Glenn! You are awesome!!!

I used McGee twice. I recommend that clean and safe place. Glenn is very professional and answer all your questions, his customer service is excellent in person and by the phone.

Our experience with renting a storage unit at McGee’s was great! Glenn is the best! He is so friendly & provided us with wonderful customer service! I would definitely recommend McGee’s to anyone needing a storage unit.

I used SoCal Self Storage for over 4 years after I moved. The service here was excellent, when I moved in, they had a special where I could actually use one of their trucks to move my stuff in (which was awesome), the storage space was pretty big and totally secure. I never had any problems getting stuff in and out of the facility. When I finally decided to move out, Glenn was awesome and made the whole procedure very easy! I highly recommend McGee’s storage!

Thank you for making renting a storage far less difficult than one could or would even hope for! The staff that runs McGees are a pleasure to deal with and would make this place worthy of 4 stars even if the units were awful — WHICH THEY MOST DEFINITELY ARE NOTTTT!
I rented a fairly small unit here to keep 7 – 10 plastic boxes for 2 months while in between apartments. They had a special that made both months ½ price — technically, it was pay one month get 2^nd month free — either title and you still get the same outcome: a great deal!
I was on the 4^th floor which would’ve been a nightmare at public storage but thanks to their badass freight elevator and super convenient free to use (without leaving your ID as collateral) «furniture dolly» (or as I eloquently called it «that thing on wheels they let us put our boxes on so we didn’t have to carry em ourself?») it wasn’t even a half-​mission to make it up to the unit — and we got it all done in a single trip!
Really didn’t expect renting a unit and moving a huge van’s worth of boxes up all those stories to take less than 20 minutes but this place is killer for lazy people like me.
Clean units, helpful friendly staff, and affordable units have made me a very satisfied and impressed customer! I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a short term place to store your furniture/​boxes/​etc.

Glenn is the absolute best!!! He is so caring, attentive and always ensures he is giving the best possible price – and believe me, he is!!! His outstanding customer service and all around caring attitude is what makes me a loyal customer to McGee’s Closet. If you are looking for a storage facility that is not going to treat you like just another number, then look no further. Glenn treats you like it’s your home away from home. I’ve had years of experience with storage units in the past; I previously used Extra Space Storage as well as Public Storage, and they all fall short in comparison to McGee’s! This place is the best, and it is because of Glenn!!! He is awesome and they sincerely treat you like family. I have already referred three friends to McGee’s, and I highly recommend it to everyone! Thank you again, Glenn! You are truly the absolute BEST!!!

I can’t recommend this place highly enough. Glenn and the whole team were super-​helpful from beginning to end. The facility is easy to use; the rates are reasonable; the service is friendly, professional, and efficient. Grab a space while they’re still available.

This place is bomb. Everyone is always so helpful, especially Glenn who assisted me in paying only a few days extra instead of another whole month when I was ready to get my stuff out. I highly recommend it. Super clean, there’s always parking near the elevator, and I simply trust them with all my valuables.

Like all of the reviews before me, I want to thank Glen for the excellent experience.
I needed a storage unit last minute, due to a stressful move, and decided to call McGee’s Closet Socal Self Storage. Glen answered my call and, needless to say, was extremely professional, friendly and gave me the best price! The facility was very clean and practical. The paperwork process was super easy and I was able to get my things in and out stress free. I highly recommend this facility to anyone who is looking for a no-​hassel, friendly environment with competitive pricing! Thank you again Glen, companies need more people like you!

Just want to rave about Glen and Ryan, they are fantastic! I’ve been in storage three times before and never had such a nice experience. Moving is so difficult, and then to have somebody pamper your exhaustion is like a godsend. You just don’t expect those types of personalities working in a storage facility. From the first phone call to the final papers being signed I was treated with enthusiasm and understanding, and truly appreciated after a full day of moving to be sent out the door by Glen, feeling secure and peaceful along with my tremendous exhaustion!
Thank you both…

First, I’d love to give two huge thumbs up to Glenn @ So Cal Storage. He was fantastic! After we had closed the unit, he helped us out with some final billing odds and ends and really came through. He went over and above for us, and his follow up and follow through were incredible. Imagine the business calling to follow up with YOU about crediting your account instead of the other way around. Great service and a great guy.
The storage facility itself is very well maintained. Its clean, well lit, temperature controlled, and well stocked with plenty of dollys. Load in is SUPER easy into the elevator to get onto any floor so don’t let that deter you from getting a unit here if hey don’t have any floor level available. I was worried, but they make it so very easy.
A quick note — they are only open during business hours, so you can’t access your unit after those hours.

I’ve been a tenant here for about two years. We actually just got a second unit we love the place the so much. However, the main reason I’m writing this is to offer the utmost praise to the staff.
I had to move out of my office. The deadline was a Friday. I had a car packed full of stuff as I sat nervously in rush hour traffic, unsure if I would miss the access hours and be forced to… I didn’t know what I would do. I took a chance and called McGees. Glenn picked up the phone. I explained that I was rushing to get there but wasn’t sure I would make it in time before they closed. With zero apprehension in his voice he said «Come on down man, I’ll wait for you.»
Glenn stayed at work 30 minutes after closing time just to accommodate my move, and didn’t seem put off in the least bit. ON A FRIDAY! It really saved my butt and I don’t know what I would’ve done if I hadn’t been able to empty my car.
This is the kind of incredible customer service you can expect at McGees. I was happy before with the clean storage spaces, the endless supply of cold water bottles and the convenient location, but it’s staff like this that will make me a tenant as long as I’m in need of storage. Thanks again.

Glenn was nothing but tremendously helpful. I only needed the unit for a few months, the price was fair, the facility was clean and the employees always friendly and again helpful. Highly recommend this place
