Use a Storage Unit as a Temporary Garage for Working on Cars

by Nevaeh Schmidt

There are many people who work on vehicles as a side job because it helps to bring in a bit of extra income. If you want to work on vehicles in your free time, but do not have a garage available to you, consider renting a storage unit to use as a temporary garage. Learn a few of the benefits that come with using a storage unit as a temporary garage for repairing cars.

Ample Storage Options

Storage units are available in many different sizes to ensure that you are able to rent a unit that provides you with plenty of space to do the work you need to do safely. If the facility you are considering does not have bays available for rental, you could choose to rent two large units that are side-by-side one another. You can use one unit for storing your tools and equipment and the other unit as the bay where you do the work on the cars.

Comfortable Working Conditions

There are storage units available that have electricity running to them and are temperature controlled. This allows you to work in the most comfortable conditions possible because the air conditioning or heat will keep your unit at the perfect temperature to suit your needs.

Security of Items

Storage facilities are secured with alarms, fencing, and locks. There are even some facilities that have surveillance cameras all over the property so that no one can gain access to the facility illegally without being caught. Since you will have other people's cars in the unit, be sure that you find out what security measures the facility takes before agreeing to rent a unit just to be sure it is as safe as it can possibly be.

Affordable Rental Fees

Storage facilities charge very reasonable fees for the rental of units. If you know that you will need to rent multiple units, you may be able to get a discount on the cost of both units. The rental fees need to be paid by a specific date each month or the owner of the facility can put their own lock on the door to your unit and eventually auction off everything inside, if you choose to stop paying the fees altogether.

Storage units like LoDo Self Storage & Moving Center are easy to rent. You do not have to have great credit or put a huge amount of money down to rent the units. When you are able to buy a garage or no longer need the unit, you can terminate your contract and remove your items from the unit without having any penalties because most rental agreements are on a month-to-month basis.
