Using a rental storage as a garage to work on BMWs

Mossberg128i · 11-04-2017, 11:13 PM

Like the title says, we are using a rental storage as a garage. Hopefully the space will be sufficient. Luckily we found a storage with electricity!

careful, that storage company will kick you guys out as soon as they get wind of it.

+1 They don't want the liability if the car falls on you / damage to the facility.

Ummmm

Dumb idea and violates rental agreement/contract.

RickFLM4 · 11-05-2017, 02:15 PM

Why not just rent an actual garage?

I'm betting the huge banners that make it look like an Al Qaeda clubhouse will draw more heat than whatever half-assed 'repairs' they can manage (unless the fumes from the plasti-dip and Axe ignite).

How can you work in that tight space?

Will there be any lifts or jacks used, if so how?

Bups · 11-06-2017, 03:15 PM

Damn 128i owners. Go buy a real BMW and a house with a garage.

Get a shed garage and pay monthly payments with financing. A rental unit you still need to drive to all the time and has potential of theft as well.

lsturbointeg · 11-09-2017, 07:31 PM

i was kinda in the same boat since i was living in an apartment and with the winters in OHIO i did not drive my car so i rented a storage for 3-4 months but during that time i would use it to detail my car and what not. the storage manager actually told me i couldn't use the storage as a garage and i asked if it was in the contract? she said no but it is being revised to include no repairs are allowed. that was last year but now that i'm in a house i don't have to worry about it

Tough crowd in here.

TheHouseWon · 11-11-2017, 09:06 AM

Just pay someone to do the work and save yourself from renting while breaching the contract... Also no bloody knuckles.
