Storing for Restorers (and Collectors)

Is it Spring Yet?

We may be in the depths of winter, but if you’re a classic car enthusiast (like me), you’re already dreaming of spring and your first spin around the block – once the snow and gravel is gone, of course.

Until that time, however, you’ve got a shed or garage that’s being used 24/7 to store your classic vehicle. Let’s say you have another project on the go – are you thrilled to push your ride into the snow to free up space to work? I didn’t think so.

At Uncle Bob’s Self Storage, we like to think of our facility as a natural extension of your garage; It’s still your space, just out of the way. Although we do not allow automotive repairs or servicing on the premises, we do have bays capable of storing at least two classic cars at a time, and our ceilings are high enough to allow the use of temporary hoists, which can effectively double that number. That’s four cars safe and protected – and out of your hair for the winter!

Or, if you’re doing a frame-off restoration, you’re going to need to put the body panels, drivetrain or accessories somewhere out-of-the-way. Instead of stacking them against the wall of your garage, where they can be scratched or dented each time you squeeze past them, try putting these components in storage until you’re ready to take them home for sandblasting, painting or reinstallation!

Here are even more reasons why Uncle Bob’s Self Storage is a great solution for storing your classic cars:

  1. Security: Uncle Bob’s Self Storage is equipped with security fencing, cameras, alarms, and indoor and outdoor lighting. Access to the bays are restricted to those with the proper clearance, and all visits are logged. You can hibernate soundly knowing that your wheels are well-protected.
  2. Out of the Elements: Where indoor home storage can be inconvenient, we all know that outdoor storage can expose your car to rain, snow, hail, UV damage or the occasional bird dropping – even with a proper cover. The same goes for your dash and interior. Our units are all covered (even the RV units) to shield it from even the harshest weather, ensuring that it will gleam like it did when you put it to bed for the winter.
  3. It’s Convenient: Let’s not forget one of the main reasons why self-storage is so amazing – it’s easy. Come by whenever you like and take it for a spin, to a car show, or to the local drive-in for a milkshake. Then return it to the unit for safekeeping.

You’ve worked hard to keep your classic car in tip-top shape, and self-storage is an excellent way to help it stay that way. Protect your ride – and free up your space – with Uncle Bob’s.
