Im in a bit of bind, and need some help. Ive got my grandads 54 suburban, and like most gals her age, she's not running. I have her stored at a family members autobody shop in Chino...long story short, they're tired of it being there (not running) and they want me to get it out.
I live in Corona at an apartment complex, that has a fit if a car is on property and not running. SO I cannot park it here,
SO here is my question,
Does anyone know of any place I can use to store her at, I know the standard answer is an RV storage yard, but I dont know of any around that are reputable, and I'm looking for suggestions.
Thanks.
(and to add to the mix, now they want it out by weeks end)
Facepalm. Nothing is ever simple.
1954 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Took me 20 years, but I got it!
Had to take a couple steps back, but I am back to work on it.
First to get her up and running. Then Ill worry bout the body,
But man I am sure getting tired of hearing "How much you wanna sell that for, name your price, everything is for sale"
Nope, not this one.

I had inquired about storing a vehicle at a few mini storages locally (Houston, TX area) and the biggest hang-up for me was they wanted no gasoline in the car (mine runs, wasn't gonna be convenient, or I would have to lie). With yours not currently running, there's little need to keep gas in it. I had found a cheaper mom & pops run storage that rented me a space for $100/mo, and I used it to store other stuff for several months. I don't remember the size, but it should've been big enough to slide a decent sized vehicle in. 10' x 20' maybe? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 142 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 142 | Call me I'm close to Chino and have an acre where you can store it.323 799 5085. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 20 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 20 | I think the dimensions of it are like 16.54' long by 6' wide.
not running, empty of fluids and sitting on 4 original 6 ply flat tires.
Wirewizards, great. I will call you in a bit, I've got to run over to the hospital and check in on a friend. Spotty reception. If you get a text from a 562 number it'd be me.

Back on topic.. This may sound crazy but depending on how long you need to store it ask a local sheriff if you can park it in the "compound" for a month or two and you'll make a donation to one of their favorite charities.....that gets them every time.
Hope it all works out with echobravosierra. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 20 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 20 |
Found a place to park it at and a flatbed temporarily.
Now...if my home loan goes thru..faster...
