In Amandas old age she did not like the cold weather. She always knew when the cold was coming; she could feel it in her joints. Her knees would start to creak, and her wrists would begin to stiffen up. People thought that she was crazy for living in Toronto and not liking the cold weather. Amanda however had a plan of escape. Her sister Pilar lived in Florida and every winter Amanda would visit her sister.

 

She had been migrating south for the winter for the past few years and she absolutely loved it. She got to see her sister and all of her kids. They would spend days at the beach and acting like they were young girls again. It was some of the best weeks that Amanda had all year. Plus she did not have to be in the cold and snow back home.

 

By now she had a system in place. Her neighbors would watch her house and get her mail. Their son would check her pipes to make sure that they were not going to freeze and keep an eye on things inside. Her car would go into a Toronto Car Storage unit for the winter so it would not just be sitting in the weather.

 

It was the perfect solution for Amanda. After Christmas she would return to Toronto. Get her car out of the Toronto Car Storage and go check in with her neighbors. She always made them a big dinner and her famous apple pie for thanks.

When we talk about Toronto car storage, it would be a good idea to think of our StorageMart location on Tretheway Drive. It is not uncommon that people see us in the yellow pages or online and decide to call us or come into our store. We feel that when it comes to Toronto car storage we are the ones people can count on.

 


In the economy today with people having to find the same solution they were looking for but for less money, customers find that they can come to us because we are very competitive with our prices. We do not feel that anyone can beat us when it comes to value.  Not only do we have the best when it comes to car storage we can also help people with their everyday storage needs. Many people come to us and we can take care of them without a problem.

 


When people are in crunch financially they do not want to play around with the idea that they will have to pay too much for storage. They want to look at how long they are going to stay with this car storage facility and see if they can afford it as long as they need it. Sometimes we have customers that can only stay for a couple of months and then come back at a later time. We have people that have been at our facility for over a year.  No matter what budget people have in their mind, we do our best to get them taken care of.

Judah agreed to help his grandpa clean out their Toronto Local Storage facility unit. His Grandpa Vergil and Grandma Anna had moved into Toronto several years ago to retire.
Anna had passed away a year ago and Vergil decided that he was going to go live with his son in Quebec City.

 

Judah had agreed to help him clear out the Toronto Local Storage unit and pack up what he wanted to take with him. There was not much that he remembered he wanted from the unit. Mostly pictures of Anna and him and their children.

 

Judah and Vergil began early in the morning and most of the things they were going to donate to a charity. Vergil was able to find all of the pictures that he was looking for and he also found something for Judah to have. In the back of the storage unit was a shoe box full of baseball cards that Vergil had since he was a little boy. Vergil told Judah that he could keep the box as payment for helping him clear out the storage space.

 

At the end of the day they had everything separated out. Judah took the things back to his grandpas house that he wanted to keep. Judah returned to his house to show his dad the baseball cards that he had gotten. They spent the rest of the night looking them up online to see how much they were worth. There were quite a few that were worth something, but Judah knew there was no way that he could sell them. In the morning he went down to a sports store and got protective covers for them. He planned to keep them nice, and they would always remind him of his grandpa.

Kevin and his brother Caleb had been sharing an apartment for the past five years. It came time for them to go their separate ways and while they were a little sad to be moving apart they were excited about their futures.

 

Caleb was going to stay in Toronto for graduate school. He was going to be moving into a smaller apartment that he could afford on his own that was close to campus. He was excited to continue his education and excited about the possibilities of his future. Caleb loved that his apartment was close to campus but he needed a little more space. There was not much storage space with only one closet so Caleb rented a small Toronto storage facilities unit to give him extra space.

 

Kevin was getting married in three months and he and his fiancé were moving in together. They had found a great apartment that was close to both of their jobs and close to the Toronto down town life. The one thing about his fiancé was that she had more clothes than one person needed. She also had more shoes than you could wear. To get basically an extra closet space for them they rented a small Toronto storage facilities unit. He was excited to be marrying the girl of his dreams and to begin their life together.

When someone wants to store a car at our facility on 555 Trethewey, we are more than happy to help. What we want the customer to know is that our facility it top notch when it comes to making sure their car is safe. We can not think about anyone who wants to come back to their car and it is damage or not here. We do not just let anyone come in and out of our facility. The customer will know by the end of our presentation that their car will be safe and secure. There is not a doubt in our mind that they will not want to shop around and inquire at the other Toronto Storage Facilities.

We know that our facility has some competitive edges when it comes to car storage than other Toronto Storage Facilities. We are able to give the customer the choice of parking their car inside in a garage type storage unit or parking outside. Most people like the safety of an enclosed unit while the others like the price of an outside space. It is totally up the customer what kind of storage they will want to store, but we like to give them the flexibility to do so. Sometimes the customer wants to chose one way of storage when they come in, and then change their mind when they drive their car in through the gate.

Toronto is the ultimate city when it comes to living in Canada. As the most populous city in the country, it houses many people, many businesses, but also several fun forms of entertainment in the area. With the amount of people that inhabit the city, it is easy to see that there would be a great deal of people that need to use storage at one time or another. Whether it is for a move within the area, storing extra items, or parking, customers want the best security and the best quality of service that the self storage industry has to offer.

 

When looking for the best overall value in a self storage facility, StorageMart is the name that is on the tip of the tongue for most people. StorageMart has been in the business for years and is known to have the best security and service that storage can offer. One facility in particular that is very popular within the Toronto area is the one that is located at 555 Trethewey Drive. Many people in the area trust the facility not only because of its reputable name, but because of the great security that the facility offers. Of course, they offer the StorageMart standard of video surveillance and an access controlled gate at the front of the property, but this facility also has door alarms on each and every unit throughout the property to send a signal if anyone should try and disturb the unit of any tenant. On top of that, this particular facility has guard and canine patrol at night, so that there is always something watching over the items that customers have in storage. Storage customers at the StorageMart at 555 Trethewey Drive get the same security and safety as celebrities at a low monthly rate.

 

This security is one popular reason that many pharmaceutical companies in the area use this location to store their products. There are several that are located within a few blocks of the facility and these companies often need climate controlled storage units to store their merchandise while waiting to sell it to potential clients. Medicine often has to be stored at a certain temperature because of chemicals in the drugs, and the companies that are marketing them want to insure that they will be in tact when they need to send them out to a buyer. By renting out a climate controlled self storage unit, companies can keep their goods at room temperature and access them when they need to. Since StorageMart has a wide selection of moving and storing supplies, they can help customers to box up the shipment and send it off as well.

 

Just like any other big city, entertainment is the big thing in Toronto. People want to go out at night and have a good time, and the night life in Toronto is great. People have the option to go to bars in the area, nightclubs, or they can choose to go the low key route and go to a sporting event. Canada is a big hockey town, and the Toronto Maple Leafs can always be fun to watch. Fans can enjoy the pastime of their country at the Air Canada Centre, and stop by their self storage unit if they need to on the way home. Or if the group is feeling a bit unorthodox, they can catch a Toronto Raptors game or a Toronto Blue Jays game. Whatever sport makes the night, Toronto has it here for its citizens and the city can turn any night into a late, great night on the town.
