When the first chill hits the air and morning frost starts forming on your windshield, it’s a sure sign that winter is just around the corner. For many Portlanders, that means it’s time to think about protecting your investment — whether that’s your everyday driver, your RV, your classic car, or your work truck.
At PDX Auto & Equipment Storage, we know how quickly our Pacific Northwest weather can turn. One minute it’s crisp and clear; the next, freezing rain, ice, or wind is wreaking havoc on vehicles left outside. Here are the top five reasons you should store your vehicle before Portland’s first freeze:
1. Prevent Costly Winter Damage
Cold temperatures, moisture, and ice can take a real toll on your car’s battery, tires, and fluids. Water expands as it freezes — which means small cracks can turn into big repairs come spring. By storing your vehicle in a secure, monitored facility, you protect it from rust, corrosion, and the wear-and-tear caused by freezing conditions.
2. Keep It Safe from Winter Storm Debris
If you’ve lived in Portland for a while, you know our winter storms don’t mess around. Fallen branches, flying debris, and even road salt can damage your paint and bodywork. Our double-fenced, 24/7 video-monitored facility keeps your car safe from whatever nature throws our way.
3. Protect Your Investment from Theft or Vandalism
Unfortunately, the dark winter months also bring an increase in break-ins and catalytic converter thefts across the Portland area. PDX Auto Storage’s bright stadium lighting, motion-activated cameras, and alarmed fencing offer peace of mind that your vehicle is secure — day and night.
4. Free Up Driveway and Garage Space
Need more room at home for holiday guests, projects, or your daily driver? Storing your extra car, RV, or boat keeps your property clutter-free while ensuring your vehicles stay in excellent condition. Our valet-style service makes drop-off and pickup quick and easy, so you can access your vehicle anytime.
5. Be Ready When Spring Returns
When Portland thaws out and you’re ready to get back on the road or water, you’ll love how smooth it is to retrieve your well-kept vehicle. No jump-starts, no moldy interiors, no worries — just turn the key and go.
Don’t Wait for the Ice to Hit
Once the first freeze arrives, everyone scrambles to find storage — and spaces go fast. Get ahead of the crowd and reserve your spot now.
