Auto Storage Systems

If you need to park in the area, they are great. Friendly, straight-​forward about their rates, accessible. I called in advance and they told me they usually have room on weekends and told me the rate (which didn’t change). I only parked for 24 hours but got my car right when I needed. I had a cohort of Brooklynites who came with me and they were all amazed at the friendliness, cheapness ($ 27 including taxes for 24 hours for a compact/​mid-​size), and convenience. I’ve had issues with garages before, but they were no problem.

Interacted primarily with Mr Yves (father) and William (son)
They are professional, and live by an old-​school code of integrity. More on that below.
Short and sweet: Service is excellent. Clear communication. If you call before you head over, they have your car ready to go. 24×7 availability.
Icing on cake
I placed a deposit and paid for 1 month up front. Two days into my contract period, called in, and said my circumstances had changed, and I only needed to park car for one month. So, in order to get my deposit back (required 30 day advance notification, per contract), did I have to send a letter in. Mr Yves said, «…you have spoken with me, that is enough.»
True to his word, when at end of month, I asked for my deposit, and got a check in deposit amount.
Also, I initially left my car for approx 10 days. When I came back, there was a circular bump on my front bumper (size of a ping pong ball). I pointed this out to Mr Yves next time I saw him. He asked William to look into it. William gave me an ETA of next Wednesday bc he needed to review video footage to determine if they were at fault. He called me on Wed and said he needed more time (lot of footage over 10 days, I presume). A few days later, when I enquired about it, they said they could not locate/​confirm that it was their fault, however, they would assume responsibility. I left my car overnight, they got it fixed. As good as new.
All this transpired AFTER I had told them that I was not going to stay on past first month. And, BEFORE they returned my deposit. If they were not utterly honest, they could have either not fixed my car (this guy is not returning, let alone we may not be at fault), or not returned my deposit (you never notified us (no paper trail)).

Chris and William are the absolute nicest people who offer an amazing service at a reasonable price. Pretty sure this is a family business. They are always available, always honest and always careful with my car. Their reasonable and accessible monthly storage made having my car in Brooklyn possible, which makes a huge difference! They even give us freezy pops when we drop off the car!

My wife and I have used this garage for the last year and have nothing but great things to say. The price was right and the folks running it are simply the best — always so kind and accommodating. Highly recommend!

I needed to park my loaded small Budget truck overnight before driving to Texas. The truck wouldn’t fit in the garage but William arranged for me to park outside the garage on the wide sidewalk where the night watchman could keep an eye on it.
I was very impressed by William’s professionalism and willingness to help me out.

SUPER nice guys! Great rates, 24 hour access, daily/​monthly parking and basically the best customer service I have ever experienced at an NYC garage. This, coming from someone who works in film and TV and parks vehicles all the time in the City.
I’d recommend these guys to anyone needing parking in Crown Heights. They’re good people who look out for good people.

Really nice guys, were a huge help during the craziness of moving to Brooklyn from Connecticut

I recently had to break up with Auto Storage Systems, only because auto insurance in NYC is insane and I need to get rid of my car. The owner and his sons are super friendly, and you end up chatting for twenty minutes every time you go and retrieve your car.

These guys are great. If you own a car in NY having such a good operation close is necessary. I park my car on the street usually but use this place when traveling. They always go the extra mile and even offer affordable rides to the airport!

These guys have always come through for me in a pinch. One time my registration expired and my car died on the same day and they let me park there until I could have it taken care of.
I Park here when there is a threat of major snow. They always try and make room when there seems there is none. Super friendly and affordable. I highly reccommend!

This was by far my best experience parking in New York. These guys were super friendly, the parking was very affordable ($ 14 a day for my hatchback), and they didn’t try to add any extra fees or surprise me with anything unpleasant when I came to pick up my car, which has just seemed to be part of the business model every time I’ve parked at a larger garage. The owner didn’t even give me any grief when he had to jump my car because it’d been sitting unused for a while – he just jumped it himself and told me to drive safely.
They aren’t very clearly marked, and their sign actually reads «Auto Babysitters.» Don’t let it stop you. I’ll use them again any time I need to park in BK.

I have been meaning to write this review for a year! So keep in mind I haven’t been there for a year… but this is what I can share:
At the time, I was in graduate school shooting a TV pilot for my thesis and I had a van with THOUSANDS of dollars of video production equipment inside. I needed a place to store the van for a little over a week where I would come and take it in the morning and return it at night. I also wanted to KEEP THE KEY for obvious reasons. This place was SUPER accommodating! They usually only do monthly car storage but they made an exception for me and gave me a very great deal– like $ 15 a night. Most places in the city are about $ 30 a night. They parked the car right in the very front of the garage so I could have easy access and also allowed me to lock it up and keep the key every night. Nothing was ever stolen from the van (my biggest fear!!!) and let me tell you, I was VERY happy!
So overall, the first impression of the place is that it looks a bit creepy… but don’t be turned off by the looks. They are super friendly, accommodating, and apparently also safe, as nothing was stolen from the van. Thanks guys!
