* The personal garage of YouTuber Shmee150 (AKA "the [[PunnyName Shmuseum]]") Houses around nineteen [[CoolCar high-end cars]], (known by him and his fans as the [[{{Thememobile}} "Shmeemobiles"]]. In addition, the garage also includes an office and a racing sim (among other things). And he's still working on making it even cooler.

* Lightning [=McQueen=]'s trailer from ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}''. This being Cars, the semi pulling it is a character. His name is Mack.

** Sadly, later glitches showed up, such as garages that eat customized paint jobs and custom license plates in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas''.

* One of the boards in ''VideoGame/MarioParty6'' is E. Gadd's Garage, named after the GadgeteerGenius who has stocked it with teleporters, conveyor belts, and other such gadgets.

* In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' an episode was devoted to the character Earl Cooper, who was not only the Batmobile's mechanic, but its designer. Cooper had a hidden Cool Garage where Bats took the Batmobile after its front end was crushed under a closing draw bridge.
** It also contained a hilarious flashback to when Cooper first met Batman-his old Batmobile had coincidentally broken down next to Cooper.

* Roger Smith of ''Anime/TheBigO'' had ''two'' of these -- one was a giant hangar in his mansion that stored the Big O (his giant robot) and his car, and the other was the ''left foot'' of the Big O.
* The main characters of ''Anime/SonicX'' mostly live in a garage for the start of the first series, despite the fact the main house is massive in size. It has a lab above it where Chuck does his experiments and for some reason it was built to raise up revealing a, larger, garage underneath which houses the CoolPlane.

* ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' has the Batcave. The [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries animated series version]] not only contains the Batmobile, but a whole fleet of cars of various models when Batman needs a less conspicuous ride. The cave also houses the Redbird during [[ComicBook/RobinSeries Tim's stint as Robin]], as well as ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}'s modified motorcycle while Dick is operating in Gotham.
** Taking it even further: in the ''ComicBook/BatmanHush'' story arc, the Batcave has revolving racks featuring just about every Batmobile ever seen.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6E_l4nAi8U And this one, kinda.]]
** Bizarrely, the Batcave came with it's own resident genius, Harold, that nobody remembered until Hush got ahold of him.
* ''ComicBook/RedRobin'': When Tim built his own base under a renovated theater in Crime Alley it included a sweet garage with a couple of tricked out motorcycles and a new Redbird and the space and tools to modify and tinker with them.
* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'' [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Vol 1]]: UsefulNotes/{{The Golden Age|OfComicBooks}} Wonder Woman had a secret ''hanger'' for her space worthy stealth plane, complete with a chemistry lab set up and adjoining space for her usually conspicuously absent horse Serge.

* While not as extensive as Leno's (Whose is though?) Creator/AdamCarrolla has a wonderful garage full of vintage Datsuns, Porches, and Cobras.

->''"I must congratulate you, [[Franchise/{{Batman}} sir]]. You dynamited an entrance through a hundred feet of shale. Carved a flight of steps from solid stone. And all to create for yourself a rather remarkable... garage."''

* Jay Leno's garage. Being a lover of all things car and motorcycle related Leno has the largest collection of cars and motorcycles ever. Now that's a pretty cool garage - especially seeing as Jay's got quite a lot of cool cars. The mini-series ''Jay Leno's Garage'' shows off how cool Jay's car collection is.

* ''GarageMahal,'' on the DIY Network, is all about building these.

* While not as extensive as Leno's (Whose is though?) Adam Carrolla has a wonderful garage full of vintage Datsuns, Porches, and Cobras.

Does the hero have a CoolCar? Then the hero needs a cool garage. The garage has to come up to the car's level. It's only fair.

If the CoolCar in your series is not bringing in the UsefulNotes/{{ratings}}, well... you forgot the CoolGarage.

The Cool Garage may come with its own resident GadgeteerGenius to serve as a mechanic, if the CoolCar is so advanced that the hero cannot work on it himself.

* Franchise/TheGreenHornet parked his Black Beauty in a revolving garage.

* ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' had the Batcave. The [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries animated series version]] not only contains the Batmobile, but a whole fleet of cars of various models when Batman needs a less conspicuous ride.

* An animated example could be ''RudeDogAndTheDweebs'', where the garage was the house.
* In ''{{Transformers}}'' the Autobots' crashed space ship served this function for the entire team.

* ''{{Freakazoid}}'' had a giant garage that he used in one episode, to fit his personal CoolCar, the Freakmobile. The building was filled with hundreds of identical vehicles, which the Freak wandered around for a time before picking a favorite: "This one! 'Cause it runs!"

* ''VideoGame/TestDrive Unlimited'' series. You can go from a small caravan and a two car garage to a ''five million dollar yacht with it's own vectral, eight car garage.''
* ''{{VideoGame/Fallout 4}}'' has the Red Rocket Station, a mostly intact gas station smack dab in the middle of the Wastes. Unfortunately you can't get any vehicles[[note]]until the inevitable GameMod comes out[[/note]] but it serves as a player home. You can fortify and decorate the place however you like, store stuff, sleep, craft and modify items, keep your companions there and customize your PowerArmour.
