Storing seasonal tires is more science than simple task

Are you using your garage space in Toronto GTA to store tires? This is the season when most people move seasonal car tires into and out of storage.  Toronto car dealers charge as much as $150.00 to store tires for six months. But at Jiffy Self-Storage, we  have the smarter solution for thrifty Toronto consumers looking for a cheap Toronto solution for storing seasonal tires.

Rent a 25 sq ft (5ft x 5ft x 9ft high) unit from Jiffy Toronto to store your winter tires plus other seasonal stuff inside one of our climate controlled storage spaces.  When you store your tires in your garage, your summer tires could be exposed to extremes of cold in winter and in the dead of summer, winter tires could be exposed to extreme heat.

The worst thing a car enthusiast can do is store tires standing up with no support. Tire experts agree that an unsupported tire could develop flat spots. At home, this happens often when storing tires in tight spaces. Often to save space, tires are stored upright with no position change for six months or more. When you store at a self storage facility like Jiffy Self Storage, one of our standard storage lockers is large enough to store tires flat and on top of each other. Since there is no weight on a specific portion of the tire, you do not create a condition for potential flat spots.

Besides storing tires that free up space in you home or garage, many of our Toronto storage clients use their storage space to store seasonal items. In summer, our Toronto storage clients use their Jiffy Self Storage space to not only store their winter tires, but store leisure items like toboggans, roof racks and roof storage, snow skis, snow boards, snow shoes, snow mobile jackets, helmets, snow-blowers and any other winter seasonal stuff in their Jiffy Toronto Storage locker. Sorry, no snow men allowed!

In winter, seasonal things that will take up room in our storage clients garage storage spaces are moved into their Toronto storage locker. Items that for sure would clog up a garage or a balcony do a lot better in a climate controlled storage space.

Take the example of an active family that likes to hike, camp, water ski and more. Naturally, they can store their stuff at Jiffy, as well as storing their boat in our gated and fenced in lot as well. So for just a few bucks a day, a lot of stuff that clutters a home or a garage can be stored at a self storage company like Jiffy Self Storage.

More families are starting to realize that using a home for storage is a very expensive proposition, especially in Toronto GTA where the average home sells for $450,000. Therefore, if a home space being used for storing  is the equivalent of 100 sq ft, that means that the space that is being used is worth $25,000. Why would anyone want to store this stuff in such valuable space? Start taking back your Toronto storage space and let your family enjoy their new found space to the max. Let Jiffy Self Storage look after your stuff for just about $3.00 per day. That type of logic is making a lot of sense to more Toronto families living in expensive Toronto GTA homes, apartments and condos.

So at $3 per day (minimum) plus tax $3.39 x 365 = $1237.35 a year to store tires? With zero installation service or delivery / pickup service? I hope it comes with a free moth ball.

25k/100sq. ft. I think is relative to the location but definitely agreed! Homes aren’t meant to be used for storage they’re meant to be comforting and beautiful! Who want’s to come home to a room full of boxes and tires?
