Our facility, located in the (mostly) sunny locale of San Diego, offers secure and protective storage for your car. While we may not experience harsh freezes, our facility ensures that your vehicle is sheltered from temperature fluctuations and external elements.

Corrosion Defense: AAAA's Shield Against the Elements

Even though we have milder winter weather here in San Diego the region still presents unique challenges for your vehicle due to its coastal climate. The salty air and moisture can be subtle yet persistent adversaries. At AAAA Auto Storage, we understand the need for a proactive defense against corrosion. Our indoor facilities are offered with this concern in mind. Out of elements is where any nice example of an older steel bodied car should be. Ask about our indoor rates.

Special Consideration for Open-Top Vehicles: Winter Storm Protection

If you're lucky enough to own an open-top vehicle like a convertible, ATV, or motorcycle, winter storage becomes even more crucial. San Diego's mild climate doesn't mean we're completely immune to the occasional winter storm.
