Heated vs
Premium Garages: Which is Right for Your Collector Car?
Winnipeg
winters are no joke. If you own a classic car, summer convertible, or
collectible vehicle, you already know how damaging cold, ice, and salt can be.
The right winter storage makes all the difference in keeping your car safe,
protected, and ready to drive when spring arrives.
At The Toy Caves, just south of Winnipeg, we offer both heated garages and
premium garages designed for collectors. But what’s the difference between
them, and which one is best for your ride? Let’s break it down.
What is
Heated Car Storage?
Heated
garages keep your vehicle in a temperature-controlled environment all winter.
This type of storage helps:
- Protect your paint and finishes from freezing temperatures.
- Prevent battery drain and mechanical stress.
- Provide a safe, alarm-protected place for your car.
FAQ: What is heated car storage?
Heated car storage means your car is parked inside a secure, enclosed garage
that stays above freezing. It’s the most popular choice for collectors who want
reliable winter protection without breaking the bank.

What is
Premium Car Storage?
Premium
garages go a step further. These units include:
- Epoxy floors that are easy to clean, oil spills clean up quick.
- Constant power supply so you can plug in a battery tender.
- Alarmed, 24/7 gated access for maximum security.
- Oversized units to accommodate multiple vehicles or larger collections.
FAQ: Is heated car storage worth it?
Yes, heated garages are an excellent choice for most collectors. But if you own
a higher-value car or multiple vehicles or simply want the best experience,
premium garages provide long-term peace of mind and convenience.
Some collectors take it even further. Premium garages at The Toy Caves aren’t
just for storage; they’re also built for comfort. With epoxy floors, constant
power, and oversized layouts, many clients transform their units into personal
retreats or 'man caves.' That might mean setting up a workshop space,
installing shelving for collectibles, or simply creating a place to spend time
with their vehicles year-round. It’s storage, lifestyle, and passion rolled into
one.

high-value cars, or anyone who wants the convenience of constant power, epoxy
