Our Team

After looking for storage solutions for our own vehicle purchasing addictions, we opened Petrol Lounge in 2014. Since then, we’ve cared for each one of our client’s cars, sometimes enabling them to purchase more. Our team has been involved in the local and national car communities and various forms of motorsports for decades.
