There’s a moment many car owners will recognise. You find yourself looking at a car you’ve always wanted, something special, something substantial, and then reality bites: “Could my garage be too small for my car?” Whether it’s due to the sheer size of the vehicle or the number of cars already on your driveway, a lack of space is a problem that more and more drivers are running into.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. At Garage126, we offer vehicle storage in Milton Keynes for people who need a bigger garage but don’t want to move house or build an extension. Whether you’ve got one enormous Cadillac or a small fleet of weekend toys, we’re your extra space, just up the road.
When the Car is Too Big for the Garage
Some cars were never meant to be politely tucked into a narrow brick garage. Think Cadillac Eldorados, Dodge Chargers, Buick Rivieras, Lincoln Continentals, beautiful, boat-like machines built for cruising along highways, not negotiating tight turning circles outside British semis.
Take, for example, the 1973 Buick Riviera. It’s a two-door coupe, but don’t let that fool you. It’s as wide as a Lamborghini Diablo and a full 18 inches longer than a long-wheelbase S-Class Mercedes. These cars weren’t designed with practicality in mind; they were intended to make a statement. And they do, usually while sticking out of your garage.
Even modern vehicles are getting in on the size issue. Large SUVs like the Mercedes GLS or BMW X7 are pushing the limits of what your average UK garage can cope with. If you’re reversing into your space with mirrors folded in and fingers crossed, it might be time to admit that your garage is not the problem. Your car has outgrown it.
When the Number of Cars Keeps Creeping Up
Of course, it’s not always about the dimensions. Sometimes it’s about volume. One daily driver becomes two, then there’s the weekend sports car, the one you’re “fixing up”, and now your son or daughter’s first car is in the mix. And suddenly, the drive looks like it needs its own traffic lights.
This creeping collection happens to all sorts of car owners. Enthusiasts, families, and people who just love a good road trip car but also need something for the school run. Cars multiply quietly, but your garage doesn’t. Before you know it, you’re parking sideways across the lawn or rotating cars depending on who needs to leave first in the morning.
