    In 2020, we opened Westside Collector Car Storage Playa Vista after a 4 year construction process. Within 6 months we had sold out and had dozens of happy long and short term clients. We needed more space, and there were other things we wanted that our single facility could not provide, such as room for larger SUV's and Sprinter Vans, and a large parking lot for events. So we found a second property in the South Bay in order to expand! Well after 2 years of construction it's finally here - Westside Collector Car Storage South Bay is open! Matt takes you through all the details of the new facility, discusses the challenges faced in construction, and shares plans for the future of the business.
