    Hi there! I've bought a little Mazda mx-5, and am living in Drumcondra. I'm looking for a space for the winter that I can work on it, trying to learn some mechanics, as well as have somewhere safe to keep it!

    Would anyone know any garages in the area or where I should go about trying to find one?

    Cheers!

    I looked into this a few years ago; prepare for it to be expensive; lockups you don't have regular access to (go and get at the start of summer, drop it back in September) were €150+ per month.  I looked at a small garage next to a house miles from my house, €240 a month, and I wasn't going to be allowed to work on the car in it.
    There's a real market for something like the the motorgym that allow used to allow people to rent the ramp by the hour or day. I think insurance/liability is a huge issue here; novice drops car on himself or cuts off a hand with your grinder, and he's into you for hundreds of thousands in Personal Injury, instead of feeling the twat he is, he'll instruct counsel, this is the society we live in. :-/  This is why we can't have nice things.

    Maybe look into those 20/40 containers; cheap solution, but most don't have power, so you're looking at bringing a generator, plus fitting out with lots of lights.
