Post-Move: How to Organize Car-Related Supplies in Your Garage
Every car deserves a nice garage, and every garage deserves good tools and supplies. Organizing a new garage after your NYC move can be overwhelming and seem like a tough feat. You may not know how to effectively use the storage space to fit your car and other car-related supplies. If you are a car enthusiast and baby your car, then chances are you plan on working on your car at home. Here is everything you will need to get started on organizing your garage.
Car Tools & Supplies – It is only logical to store anything you use for your car, like wiper fluid and tire inflators in your garage. The garage is a good place for items you often transport in or on your car, like a roof rack or camping gear. Some other car-related items you are going to want to keep in your garage are a good car jack and stand, mechanics tool kit, air compressor, etc.
How to Organize Them…
Work Bench
Every garage needs a work bench to help organize all tools, drills, and other miscellaneous items and supplies. Workbenches can be used to organize tools on the top shelf, inside drawers, or hang tools underneath.
Bins
Bins are a must when it comes to organizing your garage for your car because they can be stacked on shelves, the ground or used as drawers. Instead of boxes or crates, we strongly urge you to keep smaller items such as wiper fluid, and tire inflators in bins. Not only will your items be much safer because bins are waterproof and crush resistant, but they are more durable.
Pegboard
An alternative to having a work bench or for more space is to have a pegboard. Pegboards are great storage applications that can hold any number of hooks, which are great for holding tools, baskets, etc.
Miscellaneous
Car enthusiasts are extremely particular about their cars and everything related. If you happen to fall under this category, then you understand the importance of having a neat and organized garage. Here are a couple things you can do to upkeep your garage for your car:
Paint/Coat the Floor
Coat your garage floor with an Epoxy coat which is inexpensive and easy to apply. Not only is this cheap, but an Epoxy coat improves the appearance of the garage, makes it easier to clean (does not stain), and provides a grippy surface for your car.
Roof Racks
If you have items such as roof racks, try hanging them on the wall or ceiling of your garage so they are out of the way.
