Narrow Garage?

The you need one of these

Kind of cool I think.

Interesting that one of their selling points is to reduce your insurance costs, yet every car I've insured as garaged has cost more to insure than one that's insured as private driveway.

And one morning it doesn't work. Or there is a power cut and you can't get it out

 

[Clarkey]

Plenty of specialist policies exist which require the car to be garaged, so that's certainly not always the case.

The product is a neat idea but I'd expect something that looked less 'cobbled together in a shed' than that for £2.5k+ though.

I have a parking sensor in my garage with foam pads on the wall for the doors. Does the job perfectly and cost considerably less.

Don't worry they also do one that uses elbow grease to winch the car in and out for you..

I don’t have electricity in my garage. Does MYPARKER platform still work?

Yes, although MYPARKER Platform is also available with a manual option. This method will require elbow grease to winch the car in and out of your garage,

But what's the point of being able to park if you can't open the door to get out of the car?? Unless you live in the car but then is your garage really a garage.. or just an umbrella for you house.

Hang a tennis ball from the ceiling so it touches the back windscreen when you are in perfect position and glue carpet to the walls where the doors might touch. If you cannot get it in square, hand back your licence

 

[Nasher]

Still can't get out of the car once you get in these tiny "garages" though.

The silly thing is they are being sold with a lot of new builds as garages. But when you want to sell the house yourself, you aren't allowed to officially list it as a garage because it's to small lol.

i'm sure i could knock something like that up for a fraction of £2500, it doesn't exactly look like it's been computer modeled by NASA or anything.

Or just spend the money on a garage extension

What a waste of money.

I give you the ultimate solution to a narrow parking dilemma:

I think some of you are missing the point.....

This helps people with a garage not wide enough to open their doors to get in and out to now be able to buy that McLaren 570S with gull wing doors...

Needs some brushes attaching to the underside so that the floor can be kept to the standards required in motors.

That would mean putting my garage sweeper out of a job sadly.

I am open to it, just need to sack him.

If you have the money to buy a 570S then you have money to put it in a proper garage.

Oh if life were so simple...

If you have the money to buy a 570S then you have money to put it in a proper garage.

but planning permission, listed building issues or (specifically in a city location) lack or available space for said garage, may cause problems.
