Our Auto Shop Storage Solutions

We design storage systems that solve the real problems auto shops face every day. Our cabinets are built tough enough for shop use while keeping everything organized and easy to find.

Tool Organization and Storage Systems


Auto shops need secure storage for expensive tool sets and specialized automotive equipment. Our tool storage cabinets feature heavy-duty drawer slides that handle the weight of tool chests and impact guns.


We design custom foam inserts and dividers so every tool has its own place and missing tools are noticed immediately. These systems help prevent tool theft and ensure mechanics always have the right tools ready for each job.

Parts and Inventory Management Cabinets


Keeping auto parts organized saves time on every repair job and prevents ordering duplicate inventory. Our parts storage features adjustable shelving that accommodates everything from small fuses to large alternators and brake rotors.


We add clear labeling systems and inventory tracking features that help you know what's in stock. Proper parts storage reduces the time mechanics spend hunting for components and helps you maintain optimal inventory levels.

Fluid and Chemical Storage Solutions


Auto shops use many different fluids and chemicals that require safe, compliant storage away from ignition sources. Our chemical storage cabinets meet safety regulations for storing motor oil, brake fluid, and automotive chemicals.


We include proper ventilation and spill containment features to protect your shop and employees. These cabinets help you stay compliant with environmental and safety regulations while keeping fluids organized and accessible.

Customer Service Area Storage


The customer service area needs organized storage for paperwork, keys, and customer belongings while maintaining a professional appearance. We design reception area cabinets that hide clutter while keeping important documents and customer information secure.


Our designs include locked storage for customer keys and valuable items during service appointments. Professional-looking customer areas help build trust and improve your shop's reputation with clients.

Our Custom Design for Your Shop Layout

Every auto shop has different space and workflow requirements. We work with you to design storage that fits your specific needs and improves how your shop operates.

Shop Assessment and Planning


We visit your shop to understand your current workflow and identify storage problems that slow down your work. Our team measures your space and notes where different types of storage would be most helpful.


We talk with your mechanics to learn what storage features would make their jobs easier. This assessment ensures our design recommendations solve your actual problems.

Workflow Optimization Design


We design cabinet placement to support your shop's workflow and reduce wasted motion during repairs. Our layouts consider how mechanics move between work bays and where they need quick access to tools.


We plan storage locations that keep frequently used items within easy reach of work areas. Good workflow design helps mechanics work faster and reduces fatigue during long repair jobs.

Space Maximization Solutions


Most auto shops need to fit a lot of storage into limited space without crowding work areas. We design vertical storage systems that use wall space effectively while keeping floor areas clear.


Our compact designs pack maximum storage into tight spaces without interfering with equipment or vehicle access. Smart space planning helps you store more without expanding your facility.

Materials and Construction for Auto Shops

Oil and Chemical Resistant Finishes


Auto shop storage gets exposed to motor oil, brake fluid, and cleaning chemicals that can damage regular cabinet finishes. We use specialized coatings that resist staining and chemical damage while remaining easy to clean.


Our finishes maintain their appearance even after years of exposure to automotive fluids. These durable surfaces help your storage look professional and last longer.

Heavy-Duty Hardware and Components


Automotive tools and parts are heavier than typical storage contents, requiring stronger hardware and construction methods. We use commercial-grade drawer slides, hinges, and locks designed for frequent heavy use.


Our hardware is tested to handle the weight of loaded tool drawers and parts bins. Quality components ensure smooth operation even after years of daily use.

Easy Maintenance and Cleaning


Shop storage needs to be cleaned regularly to maintain a professional appearance and prevent contamination of parts. We design smooth surfaces and easy-access areas that make cleaning quick and thorough.


Our materials resist absorption of oils and chemicals that could create permanent stains or odors. Easy-to-clean storage helps you maintain high standards of shop cleanliness.
