A local EMT has opened a first-of-its-kind auto facility in St. Pete. Car Locker, which celebrates its grand opening next week, is a combination luxury car storage facility, detailing shop, and consignment seller located at 1900 13^th Avenue North.

The three-tiered company is one of the only places to store your luxury car in all of Pinellas County, giving locals who live and play in St. Pete an option for car storage that doesn’t involve having to cross the bridge. Car Locker was founded on a passion for cars, and it’s that expertise that makes the new company so unique.

In addition to providing secure storage for cars, Car Locker wields its passion and knowledge to offer a full-service experience. Customers can call ahead to schedule vehicle check-ups and detailing services to ensure their car is tuned up and glistening inside and out upon pick up. And while the cars are being stored, Car Locker hooks them to battery tenders while not in use, to ensure the health and life of the battery.

In fact, the detailing services are available to anyone, not just those using the storage facility, as Car Locker specializes in care for luxury, exotic and classic cars. The service team offers interior, exterior, and engine compartment detailing services, promising to “take care of the B.S. so you can enjoy the ride.”

Car Locker gets the most out of St. Pete’s best rides

Of course, part of what of makes car storage so necessary for certain vehicles is the same thing that makes St. Pete so special. While we enjoy our salty air and warm seabreeze, those same factors (as well as the prevalence of street parking and regular flooding) can make the area tough on cars that deserve special attention.

To combat those issues, Car Locker provides a secure, climate-controlled storage facility that sits at 45 feet above sea level (and conveniently across the street from the St. Petersburg Police Training Facility.) Car Locker offers annual, six month, and month-to-month storage plans.

Additionally, Car Locker offers full-service consignment sales. They take the hassle out of selling cars by handling all the marketing, negotiations, and legal paperwork for sellers, as well as storage and showcasing. Plus, their indoor, climate and humidity-controlled showroom provides a perfect environment to show cars to potential buyers. No need to worry about the Florida heat or summer rainstorms preventing buyers from scheduling a showing.

While they’re already open now, Car Locker is holding an official grand opening ceremony on Friday, November 4. The family-friendly event will be a meeting of car enthusiasts, complete with opportunities to meet the founders, hear from special guests, check out the cars currently on consignment, and watch and listen to pedestal engines on display while enjoying food and drinks.
