Heated Indoor Car and Vehicle Storage in Northville, MI
Dennis Merlo keeps a heated indoor garage in Northville, and he rents space in it to a small number of owners who would rather not leave a good car outside from November to April. It is the same garage a working detailer uses every day, on Seven Mile Road just east of Northville Road. The garage is at 43334 W Seven Mile Rd #500, Northville, MI 48167, and it serves owners in Northville, Plymouth and Novi. Heated car and vehicle storage there is $300 & up.

Store your luxury vehicle where the weather cannot reach it
A Michigan winter is not one long cold spell. It is a repeating cycle of thaw, refreeze, brine trucks and wet salt, and that cycle is what does the damage. A car left outside takes all of it.
- No road brine drying on the paint, the wheels, the brake hardware or the underbody.
- No standing water freezing inside door seals, trunk channels and window tracks.
- No snow load sitting for weeks on a convertible top or a fabric cover.
- No ice scraper going anywhere near the glass or the trim.
- No overnight swing from thaw to deep cold pulling at rubber, adhesive and sealant.
- Tires sitting on a warm, dry floor instead of frozen concrete or a rutted driveway.
- A battery and a fluid system that are not being asked to survive outdoor lows.
Indoors and heated covers both halves of it: the weather itself, and the temperature swing that comes with a Michigan winter. The swing is the part owners of collector and luxury cars tend to care about most.
Who uses winter car storage here
Classic car owners and collectors
The car comes out for spring and summer and there is no reason for it to be sitting in salt air the rest of the year.
Convertible and soft top owners
A fabric roof under snow for three months is a repair waiting to happen. Indoors it is simply a roof again.
Second and third cars
The daily driver earns the garage at home. The weekend car does not have to lose out because of it.
Condo and townhouse owners
Plenty of homes around downtown Northville and downtown Plymouth have one assigned space and no second one.
Owners leaving for the winter
If the house is closed up and nobody is moving the car, it is better off inside and in somebody's sight.
A car that will be sold in spring
A vehicle going to market in April should look the way it looked in October, not five months older.
Kept by a working detailer
The person whose building this is details vehicles for a living, and he is in the building anyway. Your car spends the winter where somebody who works on cars every day will see it.
That means a car does not have to go under cover dirty. It also means that when you want it back, the person handing it over is the person who cleans cars for a living and already has the car in front of him. What makes sense for your vehicle is worth a conversation with Dennis rather than a checkbox on a form, so raise it when you call.

Car storage near Northville, Plymouth and Novi
Northville
The building is on Seven Mile Road in Northville, a short drive from the downtown blocks, Mill Race Village and Fish Hatchery Park. For a Northville owner that is storage a few minutes from home, in Northville Township.
Plymouth
Plymouth owners come straight up Northville Road from the downtown streets around Kellogg Park. It is one road, which matters in February when you are moving a car you care about on a surface you did not choose.
Novi
Novi owners reach the building heading east on Seven Mile Road. Novi has a great deal of newer housing where the attached garage is already full, and that is usually the reason the next car needs somewhere to go.

What does a storage spot cost?
Storage is $300 & up. Call Dennis for the exact figure. He quotes it himself on the phone.
Can I get to my car while it is in storage?
Settle that with Dennis when you arrange the space. Ask the question on the call rather than assuming either answer.
What size vehicle fits?
Call with the year, make and model. If it is something long, tall or unusually wide, say so on the phone and Dennis will tell you straight away whether it works.

Yes. Store your car with us and we will detail your car for FREE. Ask Dennis about your free detail when you book your storage spot.
Can the car be cleaned before it goes in or when it comes out?
