Without a doubt, the most stressful days are moving days - and this U Haul location does nothing to make them easier. From losing reservations to not answering their phones to renting trucks with bad transmissions to closing an hour early because they cannot staff their desks and the manager simply does not care enough to cover the shift himself, the place fits the definition of a mover's worst nightmare.
If you must use U Haul, please book in advance and don't use the website. Pick a location (anyone in the area OTHER than this one...I've had a semi-good experience at 1750 Bladensburg Rd: 202-529-4676) and call them yourself instead of booking through the internet. They give lower rates over the phone and you will have a better chance of getting the equipment you want instead of having some U Haul flunky farm it out to whichever location he feels like and then also charge you a $5 service fee.
Should you experience a nightmare like I did, if you report the specific location to the local Better Business Bureau, the national headquarters to the Arizona Better Business Bureau, and be sure to let the regional customer service office know you're doing this, it IS possible to get the entire cost of your move reimbursed and to get gift certificates for future moves as well.
I know what a pain in the butt they can be, and no one else should have to deal with them. So good luck.

This shop usually rates well with the Washington Consumer Checkbook. Basically that means they'll fix your car without cheating you. My experience has been that they're very honorable and pretty friendly. They're pretty busy, they're efficient, and usually it's hard to find a place to fit your car into their lot. Make sure your parking permit sticker is up to date.

my friend recommended me to this place years ago. I decided to get new windows on one of my old cars. I called around before I finally called Affordable auto glass and body works. They were the cheapest in town so I decided to go with them. I brought the car in and they said it would be a couple of days. They never called me back about my car and I had to keep calling them to check the status of the job being done. Finally I called one day and they said it would be done in a few hours and I said I would come by then. I did and got my car. They did an okay job and it was a great price.

i wanted to get the color of my car changed and i was calling a lot of places asking for estimates for that. capitol hill garage gave me the cheapest estimate for that and i decided to use them for that. they gave me a loaner car for the duration of the repairs and i was glad that they did. when i got my car back i was very happy with the results that i saw. they did a really good job. every small detail was taken care of and there was nothing left that had to be improved. i recommend them to anyone who needs work done on their car.

this is one of the best taxi companies that i have used. they have the friendliest despatchers and the most easy to speak with. they have the most well maintained cabs. the drivers are also very friendly and nice to travel with. i have never come across any cab company that kept such a good timing in showing up and picking you up. they have very low competitive fares and the drivers have the best information on local attractions. they are pretty good with suggestions too. i like asking them for what to do in town and where to go for dinner etc and they always have great tips.

After going to the dealer to service my BMW a few times, I found this shop to be the best in the area. The lead mechanic is excellent, very friendly and thorough with his work. I highly recommend this shop for oil changes to other work. I recently had a problem with my car and they were able to look at it that day and have it back to me in no time. There is also a nice shopping center with a CVS and a small grocery shop where you can spend some time while eating for your car.

I've been taking my cars here for years since it's hard to wash a car in the city. I usually go for the deluxe service and while they do a great job of the outside of the car, they don't always get the details on the inside. The last time I brought my car in I had to point out major areas they missed and have them redo it. Not bad though for a car wash and they do work hard for a reasonable price.

I have a limited experience with the Georgetown Amoco but I wanted to add my story for those considering using them. On my way to work recently, my tire blew. I was only a block away from Georgetown and was able to get it into this station. I thought they would tell me I needed a new tire, but within 30 minutes, they took me right away, patched up the tire and only charged me a minimal amount. The tire has been great since. I would highly recommend this shop based on this great experience.

I recently visited Washington Tires on Rhode Island Ave in DC when I discovered my automobile had a flat tire. The staff was very helpful, they were glad to look at my fat tire to see if it was patchable, thus preventing me from having spend hundreds of dollars on a new tire. To my relief they were able to patch my tire quickly for a nominal fee. I was so satisfied with my experience so the next time I need a new set of tires I’ll make sure to visit Washington Tires for a quote.
