Parking and Vehicle Storage

Your vehicle, be it a car, truck, or motorcycle, takes up a lot of space on your property. It can take up a large portion of your driveway, yard, or garage and you may be thinking the space it is in can be better used. It’s a good idea to store your vehicle if: 

• You barely operate it
• You are moving
• You want it to be better protected
• You want to keep it in good condition

 A storage unit can free up space in your lot and keep it safe from harm and away from the elements. It’s a great idea to consider storage if any of the above reasons resonate with you and your vehicle.

At Amy’s Attic, we provide 24-hour surveillance cameras and top of the line security measures to ensure your vehicle remains safe. You’ll have peace of mind knowing that you chose to park your vehicle at an Amy’s Attic Self Storage facility. 

Parking Tips For Your Vehicle

Parking your vehicle may seem simple on paper, but there are a lot of ways that it can go wrong if you don’t consider many different factors. Below are some tips for how to properly and easily park your car, truck or motorcycle:

Car:

• Set your parking brake
• Hang a tennis ball from the ceiling of your garage so you know how far to park
• Use apps such as SpotHero to quickly find a city parking spot
• Avoid parking on end of lots where people turn

 Truck:

• Park away from shopping carts
• Your vehicle is bigger than you think so use your mirrors for spatial awareness
• Park away from other cars if you can and if you can’t, make sure there is space to avoid getting hit by opening doors

Motorcycle: 

• Pay attention to your kickstand and make sure it is on solid ground
• Be aware that low exhaust pipes can get scratched on curbs when tipping onto the kick stand
• Park near the back of the space
• Park on flat ground
• Use a motorcycle cover and lock system
