3-Car Garage Plans for Auto and Other Storage

Garage Plan 009G-0002Designed for the storage of three cars, detached 3-car garage plans provide a stylish and practical addition to any home while delivering flexibility. They offer a broad range of exterior looks featuring façades that complement a variety of architectural house plan styles from Craftsman and country to Cape Cod and traditional. Some 3-car garage designs are simple sporting few details while others boast a more polished or exquisite look complete with a covered porch, dormer windows, stone accents and fanciful garage doors. Various rooflines such as hip, gable and reverse gable, along with a variety of garage door combinations enhance the selection of triple-car garages. There is still more variety with these floor plans when special features are considered. The floor plan might offer one or more service doors, a full or half bath, an office or overhead storage loft. In some cases, 3-car garage plans feature one extra deep stall with a taller overhead door accommodating the length and height of an RV which can be still fit a wheel aligner.

Your car will typically require a 4-wheel alignment if it’s an all-wheel-drive model with independent suspensions. Service includes a front toe and caster adjustment, while the rear wheels receive a toe and camber adjustment as noted by Caster Central. Many ask themselves, How much does an alignment cost? A front-end alignment usually costs between $65 and $100 (some brands, of course, are more). At that price, it should be a regular part of your car care regime. To make an alignment even more economical, some car care facilities offer lifetime alignment packages for around $200.

This oversized bay also works well for boat and/or trailer storage. Though designed for automobile storage, these floor plans are great for storing other items as well like the kids’ bikes, toys and sporting equipment, an ATV, golf cart and more. Ranging in size, they provide a multitude of variations to suit many needs. Sometimes 3-car garage plans offer additional features like a workshop, storage loft or living quarters above.
