winter storage places

I was wondering if anyone knew of any places in the southern burbs that has stalls big enough for a car that doesn't mind me tinkering on it. By tinkering I mean taking out my engine. Does a place like this exist?

Re: winter storage places

they do exist... they're called your own garage/shop

seriously though, I would highly doubt you will find such a place. even if you pay for the extra space, having access to your car is not something I would think most storage facilities will offer.

My suggestion would be to go to a mini storage facility and see what it will cost you for a large enough storage unit to fit your car. i think that would be your best bet

Re: winter storage places

Good luck. Storage places will never let you work on your car, nor do most of them have power either. Sometimes you can find a group of gearheads that rent out space, but it's not cheap. The last one I looked at was $350/mo.

Bummer. Looks like my apartment parking lot will have to do.

Re: winter storage places

I believe the main problem with them letting you work on the car is for insurance reasons. If the car drops on your head, there is a huge insurance liability, therefore pretty much all of them don't allow it.
Your own garage is the only way that will happen.

Re: winter storage places

I may have a spot in my garage for one car, but no tinkering with it - storage only. $175 a month. I just need to get a living room set out of there, which should be by the end of this month.
