FrançaisEnglishThe sun’s out, the temperature is just perfect, and a cooling breeze blows through your garage window and out the garage door. Talk about an ideal DIY day, right?
But what happens when the weather refuses to sync with your DIY plans? (Often the case in Canada.) Repairing and upgrading your vehicle in your dream garage is the ultimate approach.
Collecting your tools before you begin squanders precious time that could be spent on important work under the hood. A toolbox will save you that time. What type of toolbox does your dream garage have?
Maybe you’re dreaming of a one-size-fits-all tool box. You know the type: 72 in. long with 15 drawers, and 6 in. spring-loaded wheels to make moving it a breeze.
Or are you dreaming of a smaller tool box, one suited for a tight space so you can better maneuver around your vehicle? A 20 in. tool box with three drawers and a handle might be the answer.
Sadly, the weather doesn’t always cooperate, and you definitely don’t want to miss out on the rare perfect weekends we have in Canada. No matter if it’s raining, storming, or snowing, don’t let the weather stop you from working on your vehicle.
Top- notch lighting will help you see into every nook and cranny in your vehicle. A rechargeable shop light can give you hours of illumination as you adjust its position and angle just how you want it.
Need something that doesn’t require constant adjustment? A head lamp can brighten up exactly where you’re looking.
Another option is a hood lamp. When the hood up is up and your eyes are down, a hood lamp can shine a light on the full engine bay.
Repairing a vehicle rarely happens just by standing. Even if your job does require a good amount of time on your feet, you’ll want to rest a little here and there.

What kind of DIYer are you? Utilitarian, minimalist, or fix-then-entertain?
Every available square inch of your garage has potential, and you’re going to develop it. You’re highly organized, prioritize finding the right tool at the right time, and have a place for everything.
You’ll never drop new purchases on the work bench to be put away “later,” and you may even know the exact place for each purchase while you’re shopping.
Your utilitarian garage will be sleek and efficient.
You get by with as little as possible. You may even be MacGyver in disguise. Distractions? What distractions? You prefer a garage designed to support the intense concentration you thrive under when repairing your vehicle.
If you have anything new, it was either a purchase you spent months thinking over or a gift. Your interior décor tastes focus on uniform colour and design, with bare wall space left wherever possible. You want your garage to breathe so the focus is on your wheels.
Your garage serves two purposes: to work on your vehicle and have friends over for a beer. Your garage is not only well organized, but you have chairs, a bar fridge, and maybe even a TV in there so you can hang out and talk shop well into the night.
Stop by your local NAPA Auto Parts store or shop online to create the garage of your dreams. Our friendly automotive technicians will be happy to hep you.
