I wanted to take a minute to give a big thank you to the fine folks at A-AAA Auto Transport. They have become one our most trusted vendors. Often times we have customers who want to ship their cars to store or out of storage to where they have moved and ended up. We have spent years trying to find a transport company that took their business seriously. With other carriers, our customers’ vehicles were picked up or delivered late…and…
Read MoreWe’ve stored a few Chevrolet Volts in the past. This is our first one of the new generation though…a very nice improvement over the outgoing first gen. You can watch all sorts of reviews here. But I wanted to make light of some of the storage modes on the car…yes it actually has modes for storage… The volt is a great in-between solution for the aspiring electric car owner with a bit of range anxiety: the car is driven by…
Read MoreWe’ve had quite a few electric cars come through our doors now. One volt had even been stored with us for two years with no fuss. We’d like to think we have these electrics figured out but we had a surprise with two Teslsas (oddly at the same time) while in our care. The Key fob had gone completely dead. These keys are expensive so you could imagine our panic, thinking we were going to have to buy two new…
Read MoreI decided to wake up at the buttcrack of dawn, clean my car and park it at the Outlets in San Clemente this past weekend. I am really glad I did. This is the cars and coffee for people who love everything. New Ferraris, Armored Cars, Off Roaders, Imports…everything. Best of all the owners are all super approachable and love their vehicles…no pretense, no snobbery. This is a weekly show on Saturdays from 7-9.
Read MoreI know its been a while since we’d last updated our blog. We undertook an extensive project to re-purpose some of our warehouse space for more cars! Over the past 2 months we demo’d a food processing plant at our Otay location. We now have an extra 10,000 square feet in which to house more civilian and military member’s cars and trucks. Heres a short video of us dropping the final vent ducts for clearance. A post shared by AAAA…
Read MoreWe have been gearing up for this day for the last several months…the USS Makin Island Battle group has returned from deployment. We took in over 80 cars from Marines and Sailors about 6 mos ago. After their tour of duty they arrived back on US shores today. Thank you for allowing us to take care of your cars, trucks, motorcycles. It was a privilege to do so!
Read MoreOne of the most important things to do on your car is to check your fluids. This is especially important for cars that we store! However with the mix of old and new cars out there, even something as simple as checking your oil can be annoying and confusing.
Read MoreWe MOSTLY store normal pedestrian cars. Some classics…and fewer exotics. However this one is rarefied air. The Ford GT is a throwback car. Its done in the spirit of the Ford GT40: The famous car that Carroll Shelby drove in the 1966 LeMans race. The 3 GT40s fielded beat all three of the comparable Ferrari’s. This was sweet revenge for Ford as Ferraris owners had backed out of an acquisition deal a few years earlier. As a matter of fact…
Read MoreWe often get the comment from folks that they didn’t even realize our service ‘was a thing!’
Read MoreAnother great car we have stored is up for sale by the owner and we are spreading the word…
Read MoreWe get lots of questions and often help with VIN verifications. I decided based on the dearth of knowledge out there to write a quick blog post about them in order to hopefully make getting one a little easier.
Read MoreSan Diego just became home to a the first ship in a new generation in Naval destroyers: The USS Zumwalt.
Read MoreAs we’ve mentioned in a previous post, we have a stunning 67 Continental in storage. The owner has decided to list it for auction on Bring a Trailer.
Read MoreTwo of Our Customer’s Cars are heading to Mecum Anaheim!
Read MoreWe have had quite a few interesting cars come up for sale recently: 993 Coupe, 993 Cabriolet, and a 1957 Cadillac Convertible. Now we’ve got something very special from the Ford Family: A 67 Lincoln Continental Convertible.
Read MoreWe store A LOT of cars….over 30,000 total throughout our 45+ year tenure in the car storage business. We take a vested interested in making sure our customers’ cars are safe when they come out of storage a go back on the road.
Read MoreWe convey through our advertising that we are car people. Hopefully through this post its even more evident that we are!
Read MoreAs a part of our inspection when a vehicle comes in, we will pop the hood, lift to inspect the engine bay/ battery, and then gently close it so that it stays ajar.
After putting the word out for the sale of that excellent cabriolet Porsche convertible 993, another customer of ours decided to put his car on the market.
Read MoreWe often get concern from potential customers about how their oil will hold up over the course of storage. Average stay at our facility for a vehicle is 2.5 years but even a 6 month stay can get people concerned.
