Do you enjoy tinkering on cars but lack the automotive tools and space required to do so? Maybe you live in an apartment complex that doesn’t allow residents to work on their own vehicles, or perhaps you own a home but don’t have a garage. If either of these describes your situation, don’t worry, because there are plenty of places to rent a car garage for your DIY needs. You can find a DIY auto shop, peer-to-peer rental garage, storage facility, or parking lot that will let you work on your own automobile by the hour or day. Many of these locations offer specialized equipment, lift assistance, and even on-staff mechanics to help you with your maintenance tasks.
Depending on the location, some of these facilities may be climate-controlled. This can be a benefit if your vehicle or the items in your rented garage are sensitive to extreme weather conditions.
Another way to find an automotive garage for rent is by posting a listing on local bulletin boards at auto parts stores, service stations, or laundromats. Also, check online listings on sites like Craigslist or social media. You might be surprised to learn that you can find a car garage for rent near your place of residence or work.
Some national storage companies such as Public Storage and CubeSmart also provide garages to store vehicles. However, you must be careful when storing your own car in these spaces because they don’t have power outlets for working on the vehicle and they often don’t have full-sized lifts to raise the vehicle off the ground.
