Car Storage

[OMG513]

Hi,

I won't have space for a special car that will be coming into my hands and don't have anywhere to park it.

Do you guys suggest any car storage places? anyone tried any? preferbly south west liverpool area but no drama if its further away but secure?

Thanks

Maybe somewhere like kenards if they store cars? We've been using a kenards locker lately between moves and the security seems pretty damn good...

[OMG513]

Thanks that's good to know as i have one down the road from me. I will give them a call tomorrow. Hopefully they will allow 24 hr access service. Are you allowed 24 hr access service to the lockers?

[Galois]

Yep 24 hour access, will be using it soon when we hire a truck for 24 hours to move from 3 places, including storage, into one. Kennards' are all over the place though, hopefully you'll find some space somewhere.

Hope you enjoy the "special car"

What was the price? I'm willing to bet there is no reasonably priced commercial option....

Yeah the Classic Throttle Shop down the road from my work offers this service including cafe / shower / lockers, and vacuum-sealed bubble enclosures for the car; they start from $300 per month.

If it is genuinely "special" these guys offer a great service and look after them through storage as well.

Hey guys thanks for the replies.

Duncan: The price for kennards was also $300 plus per month for a secure lock up garage type storage, but the price varied rediculously from suburb to suburb. E.g. Hoxton park was $875 and whetherill park was $310

[God_speed]

875?? Wow. Makes the CTS deal look like a bargain. They can trickle charge and even detail the car for you if you want (at some additional cost)

[OMG513]

Yeh i understand what you mean. Its stupidly costly

[God_speed]

$875 per month = $202 per week

For that you could have this (you may or may not be impressed):

You may want to check with your self storage facility near your house or just see if there are any short term parking spots within a maintained garage that you can secure a lot at. Most important is to make sure the place has a good security system and you've got insurance for the car coming in even if you're not going to be driving it gor a while. Good luck!

So long as you can secure the car eg clamp, some elderly people would love to have your car on their block of land to indicate that someone is 'always at home'.

I used to be able to park my car for free at someone's house when I did locum pharmacy wk at Shalvey and Lethbridge Pk. And they felt more secure with a nice car in their driveway/carport.

All it takes is some cold calling via a network. Yeah, I'd buy a gift now and then.

Lol. This was 3 years ago guys. I'm sure he has stored/sold the car by now
