Conversion of a SS carwash to mini storage

[Roz]

Wondering if anyone on this forum as experience converting a self service carwash to a mini storage business?

We decided to convert a 5 bay SS location into various sized storage facility. The 5 bays have three walls so we are adding wind resistant roll up doors to each bay and then looking at making a pad for some shipping containers that have been cut up into various mini storage sizes.

Any self storage software management recommendations? There are too many options available.

Anyone have good resources for us to view for ideas and forms for a self storage business. I am using Google too but thought I would check in with folks here. Thx

How's this going? Seems like a great concept

Conversion process was easy. Takes time and more marketing to get the tenants. Still a work in progress.

I used to be a "Top 100 U-Haul Dealer" and know that if you befriended one (or three) near you, they could definitely send you some love.
Make your approach between Monday afternoon and Thursday, that's the slowest days of the week (the first of the month is a busy time too)

Hello, did you pursue this idea? I plan on investing with a friend on changing an auto car wash plant into self storage. Can you please let me know if you proceeded with it and how did it go for you. Which self storage software did you use?

Yes we made the conversion. Takes time to gain momentum but so far seems fine. We use an industry standard website system for $95/month to manage the process. You can see their name at the bottom of our website.

Hello, did you pursue this idea? I’m planning to invest with a friend to convert an auto car wash plant into a self-storage facility as well. I'd appreciate it if you could let me know if you went ahead with it and how it worked out for you. Which self-storage software did you end up using and would you recommend it? Any tips on what worked or what to avoid? Looking forward to hearing from you!
