If you consider yourself to be somewhat of a petrolhead then it is likely that you have always dreamed of having a great garage as a space where you can work on your car.

Fortunately, this does not have to be too expensive or require a huge amount of work as there are lots of ways that you can take your garage to the next level and create a sanctuary which could become your new favourite place to spend time.

Cleaning & Organising

First, you need to take some time performing a deep clean and organising the garage. For many people, the garage is a dumping ground for clutter so you need to take everything out, deep clean the space and then work out what you need to keep and what can be sold/recycled/thrown out.

Install Automatic Garage Door

A great way to take your garage to the next level is to have an automatic garage door installed, which will add an air of luxury to your garage while also being highly convenient. If you plan on using your garage often and for more than just storing a car, an automatic door could make a big difference to the space.

Upgrade Tools & Equipment

Having a space to work on your car can make a big difference to your life and could also help you to make big savings on your garage bills. In order to carry out the work, though, you will need high-quality tools and equipment. In addition to a full toolkit, you will also want to invest in car maintenance equipment like trolley jacks so that you can safely lift the car to work on.

Maximise the Interior

You also need to spend some time thinking about how to create a practical, safe and stylish interior. You will want to make sure that you have adequate lighting and ventilation, smart storage solutions so that you can keep the garage organised and paint the walls. You may also want to have a desk area if there is space so that you can use a computer/the internet while you work.

Security & Safety

You must also consider security and safety when improving your garage. Having a security system is important to protect your garage, car, home and tools as well as to provide peace of mind. In terms of safety, you need to keep the garage neat and organised as well as have a fully stocked first-aid kit nearby.
