Why a Storage Unit is Perfect for Your Collectible Cars

For car enthusiasts, collectible cars are more than just machines—they’re works of art, pieces of history, and treasured investments. Whether you own a vintage muscle car, a sleek European classic, or a custom showstopper, keeping your collectible vehicle protected and pristine is a top priority. That’s where a dedicated storage unit comes into play. 

At All Purpose Garages, our spacious, secure, and climate-considerate storage units are ideal for car collectors looking for the perfect blend of protection, accessibility, and utility. Let’s take a closer look at why storing your collectible cars in a storage unit makes so much sense—and how it can become more than just a place to park. 

Two classic cars in a storage unit or garage

1. Protection from the Elements 


One of the biggest enemies of collectible cars is the weather. Rain, snow, sun, and even humidity can wreak havoc on a classic vehicle’s paint, upholstery, and mechanical components over time. By storing your car indoors, you instantly remove those risks. 

Our storage units are built with insulated roofs and exteriors, offering a layer of climate consistency that helps guard against temperature swings. Keeping your vehicle inside means it’s protected from UV exposure, rust, corrosion, and other environmental damage that can quickly diminish value. 

2. Added Security for Peace of Mind 


Aside from weather, theft and vandalism are top concerns for collectors. Fortunately, security is built into the foundation of our facilities. Our units are located in a gated complex, monitored 24/7 with security cameras. With access control systems and automatic garage doors, only authorized users can get in—meaning your vehicle is safe and sound when you’re not around. 

You can also enhance your peace of mind by enrolling in our Tenant Protection Plan. It’s a smart choice that helps cover unexpected damage or loss, and protects stored items that may not be covered by your homeowner’s policy. 

3. Room to Store Multiple Cars 


If your collection goes beyond just one prized ride, a large unit can comfortably store multiple vehicles. Our largest unit, measuring 45 feet long by 20 feet wide and 14 feet high, offers ample space for two to three vehicles with room to spare. And if you want to maximize vertical space, adding a car lift can allow you to store up to four cars safely within the same footprint. 

Whether you have a pair of Corvettes or a combination of a classic truck and two convertibles, our wide units give you flexibility and efficiency—keeping your collection together in one secure location. 

4. A Private Workshop for Tinkering and TLC 


Beyond storage, one of the biggest advantages of renting a unit at All Purpose Garages is the ability to work on your cars in peace. Each unit has access to power (some with upgradable 30 or 50 amp outlets), so you can plug in tools, battery tenders, or lighting for detailing sessions. 

Need to change the oil, swap out some plugs, or polish the chrome? You’ve got a private space where you can wrench away without worrying about the weather, neighbors, or HOA rules. For many collectors, the ability to work on your car in a clean, secure environment is just as valuable as the storage itself. 

5. Flexibility for Long-Term or Seasonal Storage 


Whether you’re winterizing a classic convertible or just want to rotate your fleet, our monthly rental options provide flexibility. No long-term commitment means you can adjust your storage needs throughout the year. For seasonal vehicles, it’s the perfect solution—keep your cars protected in the off-season, then roll them out ready to shine when the weather warms up. 

6. Easy Online Booking and Access 


We know your time is valuable, which is why we’ve made it easy to reserve and manage your unit online. Our platform allows for quick reservations, payment management, and support. Plus, you’ll enjoy 24-hour access to your unit—because inspiration (and the urge to drive) doesn’t always follow business hours. 

Make Room for Your Passion 


Storing collectible cars at home isn’t always feasible—especially with limited garage space, zoning regulations, or shared driveways. A dedicated unit at All Purpose Garages solves those problems and more, giving you the freedom to enjoy your passion without compromise. Whether you’re just getting started with your first classic, or you’re a seasoned collector looking for a better solution, we’re here to help.
