How can I fit two cars in a two-car garage?

My wife and I each have our own car, so it’s more convenient to run errands or pick up the kids from school. Although the garage can fit two cars, it’s very tight because I have a workbench. Is there any way to more comfortably fit two cars in my two-car garage?

It can be frustrating to fit two cars in a small space, but there are plenty of ways to make it easier! Use these tips to fit two cars in your two-car garage:
  • Make some space. Consider installing a fold-down workbench instead of a permanent one. Wall-mounted or hanging shelves can also help you save space by keeping objects off the ground!
  • Use parking aids. Marking your ideal parking spaces with signs, paint, or small barriers is an easy way to help guide you to the right place. If you’re parking in the same spot every time, you should both have an easier time fitting both cars in the garage.
  • Install better lighting. Lighting can help you and your partner see more clearly when you pull into the garage—hopefully allowing you to park more responsibly!
  • Extend your garage. If you have the time and resources, consider expanding your garage to fit two cars more easily! Luckily, you can start saving up for renovations by bundling
    your auto and home
    insurance.
