From Chaos to Comfort

Just like Andy’s toys in Toy Story, your garage has likely seen its share of transformations. At one point, it might have been a well-organized space where your car fit perfectly, but over time, it became packed with seasonal items, sports gear, and old memories. What was once a space full of possibility now feels more like a storage unit.

But, as with any great story, change is on the horizon. When you decide to declutter and reorganize, you’re not just clearing out physical space—you’re making room for something new. Your garage can once again be the functional, open area it was meant to be, and perhaps it's time to think about upgrading your vehicle to fit your growing needs.

Declutter and Reorganize Your Garage

Reclaiming the garage starts with organizing the clutter. By using smart storage solutions, you can create space you didn’t realize you had:

• Ceiling Storage Racks: Store seasonal items like holiday decorations or sports equipment overhead to clear up floor space.

• Wall Organizers: Use hooks, shelves, and magnetic strips to keep tools, bikes, and other frequently used items within reach but off the ground.

• Parking Mats and Guides: These tools help protect the floor from fluid leaks and ensure you park with precision every time.

Quick Tip: Label storage bins to keep your garage organized over the long term.

Enjoy the Space You’ve Created

After organizing the garage, you step in and notice how much easier it is to park, move around, and even access your storage. That extra breathing room makes life simpler, whether you’re pulling the car in or getting the kids' bikes out.

But as you load up the car for a road trip or errands, you may start to notice something else. Even though the garage is more functional now, the car itself might feel a bit cramped. Whether it’s the tight legroom, lack of storage for gear, or just the general feel, you might begin to realize that it’s not only the garage that needed a refresh—it could be time to reconsider the space and comfort inside your car, too.

Consider a Roomier, More Comfortable Vehicle

Modern cars are designed with more efficient use of space, offering greater comfort and storage options without feeling oversized:

• Fold-Flat Seating & Cargo Solutions: Whether it’s for weekend trips or daily errands, newer vehicles offer storage flexibility that older models often don’t.

• More Interior Space: Improved legroom, larger trunks, and versatile seating arrangements make every trip more comfortable.

• Parking Assist Features: Many new cars come equipped with advanced features like parking sensors and backup cameras, making parking in any garage—even a small one—much easier.

Now that your garage is organized and ready for use, a vehicle that provides room to grow might be the next logical step. Combining a well-organized garage with a car that suits your needs for comfort and flexibility will make daily life smoother, both at home and on the road.

Decluttering your garage is a great first step, but don’t overlook the importance of having space where it matters most—inside your car. If you’re finding that your current vehicle no longer offers the comfort or room you need, upgrading to a newer model could be the perfect complement to your newly organized garage.

Rust Never Sleeps - Is Your Old Car Keeping You Up At Night?

Have you lost sleep worrying about your old car breaking down or rusting away? Maybe you should think about trading it in for a newer model. When you do, you'll want to take steps to keep your new car from succumbing to the same fate as your old one.

Remember the better the condition of your car, the higher its resale value will have.

Here are some tips to prevent rust:

1. Check for rust regularly and treat it immediately

2. Wax your car regularly

3. Store your car in a cool, dry place

4. Avoid driving through puddles

5. Don't wash your car with harsh chemicals

6. Use rust-resistant paint on your car

7. Keep your car clean and free of dirt and debris

8. Treat minor scratches and dents promptly

Garage Kept Cars - Winter Warning

In general keeping your car in a garage year round is the best way to prevent rust, but there is a caveat during the winter months. If you live in an area with heavy snowfall, road salt and other deicing chemicals can splash up onto your car while you're driving. These chemicals will accelerate the formation of rust on any exposed metal on your car. You should also wash your car regularly, to remove any salt and other corrosive materials that may have accumulated on the surface.

Leaving your car parked in the garage as much as possible goes a long way in preventing rust but even that might not be enough. The best way to keep your car from rusting is to take some preventative measures. Here are a few things you can do:

Wax On, Wax Off

Another good way to prevent rust is to keep your car's paint finish in good condition. A fresh coat of wax will act as a barrier between the metal and the elements, helping to prevent moisture and other corrosive materials from coming from your car as soon as possible.

Don't Have A Garage - Cover It Up

You can buy a car cover specifically designed to repel water and keep snow and salt off your car. These covers can be pricey but may be worth the investment if you consider how much it would cost to repair rust damage. Also rust will affect the trade in value of your car when the time comes to sell or upgrade

Another alternative is to use a tarp or old blankets to cover your car when you know bad weather is on the way. This won't be as effective as a car cover but it's better than nothing.

If You Must Park Outside - Protect Your Car

The biggest majority of the time you will be parking your car in the driveway, street or other hard surface. Parking your car on grass, dirt, snow or surfaces that do not drain well can contribute to rust forming on the undercarriage, fender wells and other areas of the car.

If you find yourself in this situation try to park your car in a spot that is not likely to puddle after a rain or snowstorm. As the ground becomes soft from the moisture, mud, gravel and other loose material can pack into areas of your car that are hidden from your view. From time to time do a visual inspection to remove any build up in these areas.

3. It will be easier to find financing for your new car since dealerships have less inventory on their lot

You should also fix any cosmetic damage and have the car serviced so that it is in good working condition. Finally, gather all of the paperwork related to the car, including the title, registration, and maintenance records. This will make it easier for the dealer to process the trade-in.
