Car and Truck Storage

Free up some valuable garage space!

Storwell has outdoor and indoor parking storage for cars and vans. Our outdoor parking spots are wide enough to accommodate vehicles of any size, and our units are all on the ground floor so that you can drive your vehicle right up to your unit. If you want to keep your vehicle indoors, our 10 ft x 40 ft units are capable of fitting a small sedan and our 20 ft x 40 ft units can fit a larger car or SUV. Our units are all individually alarmed and monitored by our video surveillance system as well as our on-site manager ensuring that whatever you store in your unit is safe. Our storage lockers also have power ventilation, which controls humidity and can protect your vehicle from rust damage. If you plan on storing your vehicle for long-term storage here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Wash your car before storing it away and keep it covered.
  • Change the oil before long term storage.
  • Don’t engage the parking brake when storing a car or truck for long periods of time.
  • Drive the car periodically, 15 minutes every week to keep the battery charged or alternatively remove the battery and store it separately.
