It’s no secret that space is at a premium around the Bay Area. Many residents have made concessions by paring down their stuff and doing without garages or even cars!
However, in general, most Silicon Valley locals need a car to get around, and they can waste time every day trying to locate a parking spot on the street near their home. Some even cover their vehicles and “store” them on their neighborhood street if they can. But in general, keeping a car outdoors isn’t great. California may have great weather, but we still have weather. Heavy rain and hail can wear down the exterior. Additionally, nighttime opportunists might break a window at 2 am, seeking food or a place to rest for a short nap. Face it, if a car doesn’t have a secure storage space, it’s vulnerable.
It’s why car storage in the East Bay is popular, too. Whether it’s a car, a motorhome, or a boat, the price of storage can be worth the peace of mind. And a few walls with a lock on the door might work for these types of situations. If you need storage for a classic car, the problem is very different. You don’t just need a secure shelter, but a ‘safe haven’ for that special vehicle. A YouTube video from Car Collector Enthusiasts provides a quick overview of what specialized classic car storage looks like.
The Best Classic Car Storage in the East Bay Pays Attention
A few key features of classic car storage involve spaces climate-controlled spaces. It’s not enough to put a classic auto in a garage and cover it up. Humidity and dust can cause severe deterioration to a vintage sports car, so top-of-the-line equipment used for temperature control is imperative. Also, robust 24/7 video surveillance inside and outside the storage space is invaluable too. Because special cars are also on the radar of thieves looking for an opportunity!
