The Dangers of Not Parking in a Garage

I was driving around Columbus after a big snow storm recently. As I was driving, I noticed that a great majority of the parked cars were absolutely buried in snow and ice. Many of these drivers have a garage, but they keep their car in the driveway or park it on the street, because their garage is full of "stuff."

When I look at my neighbors' homes I notice that 2 out of 3 had their car parked on the road or in the driveway. Every home in my community has at least a 2 car garage attached. Of course, it is possible that my neighbors own 3 or more cars, but it's more likely that they just don't have the free space in their garage. I am sure it's the second one.

Leaving one's car outside in the winter time is a recipe for disaster. Just think, how does it feel to look outside on those cold mornings and you see your car under 6 inches of snow & ice? As if getting up early wasn't enough aggravation, now you'd have to get up even earlier to scrape of your car. Not to mention the fact that you have to then warm up the car and possibly even have to dig yourself out of a rut in the snow.

You know what's even worse? You may have to do this in freezing rain, and get all wet before you head to the office. Why would you own a garage, if you can't use it in the first place?

Sounds inconvenient? Let me give you five more urgent reasons why you should free up space in your garage and rent a space in a Columbus self storage facility.

1. Every year dozens of cars suffer serious damage from hail and thunderstorms. Golf ball sized hail will dent the metal parts of your car and break the glass and plastic.

2. Tree branches are prone to fall and damage your vehicle. Especially in the winter. Even in the fall and spring, just the sheer force of a thunderstorm can snap a trunk or branch and hurl it right on your nice new car.

3. Parking a vehicle under trees is bad for another reason. Trees ooze sap and drop acorns and things of this nature. Any of these things could come into contact with the paint job of your car and really do a number on it over time. Even worse, small berry like fruits growing on these trees drop down in autumn and make your car a gooey mess. They are very hard to get off your car and may even damage the surface.

4. Parking on the street makes your car susceptible to damage by other drivers. Even neighborhood streets are not safe. A stray baseball or basketball may hit your car and break your window.

5. Finally, there's always the danger of vandalism. This is not news to you I'm sure. Slashed tires, broken windows, & scratched doors have all been done before by unruly youths.

These problems may cost you thousands of dollars. Luckily though, the solution to these dangers is a simple one! Simply park your car in the place it was designed for-- your garage. Bring all the other items that accumulated over the years to a Columbus storage facility. They will rent you a 10 x 20 ft unit for around $120. That means you'll have plenty of space in the garage to park your car and walk around to your door, preventing all the aforementioned perils.
