Hey all,

Moving to Boston and renting a house without parking for the first year. Anyone local know of any good winter storage or even better a rental space that has room to do work on the old girl?

Thanks!

I am in Cambridge and there are a few of us around. I street park my van, but I am on a quiet one way street.

Unfortunately, no rental spaces to speak of, but hit us up when you move up here, there are a few van owners in the area.

Hi welcome to New England! Two decent repair shops, Lien's in Attleboro off
I-95S sort of far from you and another is Greg's VW Repair in Natick which is closer. Greg is West of Cambridge off of rt. 9W on rt 27S

Extra Space Storage or Cube Smart Storage. If the do not have a garage big enough they might have outside storage.

Rule number 1, don’t call Cambridge Boston (as most of the rest Mass does) or you will be in trouble with the locals.
P.S. - look into West River Westies and Transportefest and the mostly N.E. Club LiMBO.
