Automate Parking Inc

Automate Parking Inc. is located at S. Flower and Pico near the Los Angeles Convention Center, Staples Center, and LA Live area in Downtown Los Angeles.
It’s close by within a few blocks walking distance and is an open air uncovered parking lot.
This is one of those nook n’ cranny lots where getting cars in and out is like playing Tetris while in a can of Sardines. The parking attendant will guide you into a space like an air traffic controller.
It’s one of the cheaper lots, but prices do vary depending upon the day and the event, basically dictated by the marketplace’s supply and demand.
I went during a weekday daytime when there was a convention, industry trade show, not open to the public over at the Convention Center and parking in the main lot this is adjacent to was $ 10, where this one was $ 7.
I know parking can sometimes be had for as cheap as $ 5 per day and as much as $ 20+ per day/​night.
The area is somewhat safe, but a bit sketchy during the day and at night it’s your dice to roll.
FYI — Fair Warning… Many outdoor parking lots are often magnets to scammers who pose as parking attendants and take your money to park, but don’t work for the parking companies. Be sure you feel confident, get a receipt and if the person looks a bit scuffy, homeless or sketchy question your decision to give your money and park. Also, never give your car keys, it’s self parking not valet.
It’s an outdoor lot subject to the weather be it rain or heat, so know that going into the deal.
It’s an affordable alternative to parking closer or at the complexes, and with that it sometimes is also easier to get in and out of since it’s a few blocks away from the clustered congestion of the venues.
