It’s a dilemma. You’ve invested in your passion – a classic, collectible car. Now where do you park or store it in Manhattan?
Welcome to Auto Manor at the Cielo Garage. We’re a boutique garage nestled nearby in Manhattan’s affluent Upper East Side. Here you’ll discover an entire floor dedicated to storing your valuable, collectible vehicle with unparalleled care and personalized service.
Perry Finkelman, a classic car enthusiast, was interested in collectible and classic car investments and/or fun vehicles to drive on occasion. The only challenge was that he had no ability to park and store a vehicle safely in a Manhattan garage. He didn't want often careless valets to drive his car or park too closely to other vehicles. He believed this would pose a risk to his investment. Mr. Finkelman decided to solve the dilemma himself by starting the Auto Manor, which would address what were then unavailable solutions to parking classic or collectible cars in Manhattan. Among the many amenities he implemented, he insisted that no one would drive the cars but the owners themselves, and that the attendants at the Cielo Garage would use hand felt gloves and environmentally sensitive jump suits to insure the vehicles would not be scuffed by clothing. The garage would also use felt covers for the steering wheel and well foot covers. The rest is, as they say, classic history!
We know how particular you are about your investment grade vehicle. So we take as much of “hands off approach” as possible. You’ll park your own car with the assistance of our seasoned concierge attendants. You may also choose to have a dedicated staff encapsulate and protect your vehicle from any elements in an exclusive POD. Garage associates will not drive, operate or even touch your classic, except in extreme emergencies.
Our dedicated, trained staff will monitor your car 24/7. No worries, we’re always here to protect your investment. We also offer an optional CCTV hookup, so you can monitor your collectible car anytime – day or night – through a secure interface in the comfort of your home.
Constant access to your classic, collectible car is key to you. If you are not on the POD system, you can pick up your car 24/7 with short notice – just like a standard garage. Vehicles in a POD are meant for long-term storage with little movement in and out. In that case, we’ll need 24 hour notice in order to prepare your car for pick up.
One of the reasons you’re parking with us is protection from the elements, 365 days a year. We store your collectible car under constant below-grade, natural climate control with air exchanges to the floor. If you choose to store your vehicle in a POD, it will benefit from air exchanges within the POD as designed by the manufacturer.
Gold Package (Unlimited Parking & Retrieval)
Platinum Package (Removal Once Every 90 Days)
Removal of your car is by appointment only. Removal and replacement requires a meticulous procedure. Therefore, for those who need their cars more than once every 90 days, additional charges will apply.
