Bad muffler or exhaust pipe causing the mileage to go to around 7.5 mpg, very costly for the 171 mile trip, took 21.5 gallons for the trip along with driver door being bent and having to slam it a couple times to get it closed. Funny part is it had a Uhaul passed inspection sticker and person who did inspection. So I probably won't go there again and may not use Uhaul again, there are other companies out there. About a 5 hour rental for 171 miles and 15 for the insurance was around $181, and the gas was $72 for the trip. Way to much gas for the vehicle, should've been around $35-$40 because most of it Hwy.

Very friendly and service was great
Augustin ZamoraThe staff here was helpful, but the Uhaul process itself was a mess, confusing, and irritating. The staff here were not aware we would be dropping off. Again, this was not the drop-off site I chose online, but we were redirected there on the day of the move. It was not helpful or convenient on what was already a busy, stressful day.
Theresa HaerleAlways Great. Thank you.
AMON THOMASThe location was great. The U-Haul App, however, SUCKS. Freezes, lags, doesn't complete the pickup/return process but then just registers as picked-up or returned even though all the info/photos weren't entered. Multiple errors, had to reset the app several times before I got it to take. The website is just as bad.
Tyler BenjaminThis location had the friendliest customer interaction that I have ever had in my UHaul experiences over 5 decades.
Terry ClampitSecond time renting from this location. Both experiences are above my expectation. Friendly and helpful staff. Also booked movers they've partnered with. Hoping I wont need to move again for a while, but if I do, I would rent from them again!
Pauline ConnorThe APP is very buggy....it wouldn't load pages after I selected the continue buttons. If there is a location with less than average cellular coverage, the APP is ineffective.
William BrudenellMatt & Tom, were great! Everything went smooth - thank you

SUE SMARTTom made everything so easy for us when the uhaul mobile check out wasn’t working and accommodated a few changes in our schedule!! Thank you!!
Gina WieremaTom the owner ,Matt and Mike make it seem less and such a no stress process I will always rent U-Haul from this location , perfection realized ...👍
Ronald CastroThankfully the owner of the location was there otherwise we wouldn't have been able to access the keys to the truck. The code that the Uhaul website provided was a number code and the lock was a word code. We waited for a half hour on the phone and simultaneously using the chat feature. We spoke to one person on the phone and the person over the chat feature seemed condescending. Neither person helped us. To clarify, this is NOT a reflection on Advanced Autoworks. I have used their uhaul services before and have been very happy. This is the first time I have used the online service at their location (I HAVE used it elsewhere), and I was very unhappy. Thankful the owner stopped by!
Jessica BerlinghofGreat location. Friendly people to work with.
Trevor RoathThis was one of the easiest rentals I have done both pickup and drop off, the staff was fast and courteous, and the equipment was well-maintained I will be using them again.
Kevin MurrayBoth employees that I worked with were excellent! Competent, knowledgeable, friendly!
Andrew BuzinskiUsed after-hours drop off. Would have been nice if your system automatically sent text or email confirming that I dropped vehicle off at location at the time of drop off. I did receive confirmation first thing in the morning.... but it would be nice to know immediately that your system recognized my location.
James ZradickaThis owner is always very helpful, no regrets ever.
DON NELSONLove thus location. Always amazing customer service and always a pleasure to work with them.
Victor GoltzI’ve rented quite a few vehicles from uhaul and this was the worst one I’ve ever used. The brakes were really bad and when you were stopping you had to put both hands on the steering wheel because of the terrible vibration that was occurring. I have to rethink about ever using this company again I know that they don’t care what is reported I bet they rented it out right after I left
William MilbratzThe person who assisted us is very courteous and professional. He did a stellar job. I think his name is Matt and he is a nice guy too.
Lea MartinI won't go anywhere else. Tom is an absolute professional and goes out of his way to help the customer and provide excellent service!
Victor GoltzGreat experience. Very knowledgeable people. Definitely would recommend to all of my family and friends.

MICHAEL VARACALLIGreat service as always!
Gene PaliyThe man who assisted me was rude, disrespectful, and made my rental experience at Uhaul the worst I have ever encountered. I will never use the Uhaul at his location in Lake Villa again.

Curtis GolmCustomer service was great!
BRIAN KEITHStaff was extremely friendly and helpful!
Erica LoibenA very tight space!
Michael McGowanWe had a bad experience with budget not having a reserved truck for us. My wife stopped at this location. The staff was so friendly! I will definitely use them again and refer people to that location.
John FalcusLeave the truck loaded with a full tank of gas so that i can easily leave it the same way when i return it.
BILL VASTISIt had lots of leaves and stuff on the inside We had to sweep it out when we opened it.
Mari KeyThe van I rented was dirty. There was trash in the driver area. The cargo area had broken glass and was generally filthy. The sliding door window was cracked. This rental location needs to do better.
