Alara Garage’s History and Houston Location
Alara Garage has served Houston’s collector-car community for many years. In a 2017 report, ABC13 Houston identified Ara Malkhassian as the person who opened the business around 2009. The facility has since become an established destination for vehicle storage and related automotive services.
Today, Alara advertises approximately 150,000 square feet of climate-controlled space at 1440 Greengrass Drive, Houston, TX 77008. Its location inside Houston’s Loop provides access for collectors throughout the city.

Luxury Vehicle Storage and Security
At the center of Alara Garage’s services is secure, climate-controlled storage for collector vehicles. The company describes a concrete building with reinforced garage-door security, a monitored alarm system, and multiple cameras that allow customers to view their vehicles remotely.
According to Alara, its storage and concierge services include:
- Climate-controlled storage for classic, exotic, luxury, and other collector vehicles.
- Security monitoring with a multi-camera system and reinforced entry protection.
- Battery maintenance using a battery tender while vehicles are stored.
- Routine vehicle attention, including exterior cleaning and periodic starting and repositioning as described by the company.
- Concierge assistance to arrange vehicle access, preparation, or delivery, subject to service availability.
- Automotive services available through Alara’s network of on-site and associated specialists.
These services are intended to help collectors protect their cars while reducing the work involved in keeping a vehicle collection ready for use.
Maintenance, Detailing, and Collector-Car Sales
Alara Garage promotes more than vehicle storage. Its website features Specialty Car Solutions for automotive maintenance and Cavallo Auto Salon for professional detailing. It also highlights collector-car sales, consignment, and brokerage services associated with M. Brandon Motorcars.
Alara Garage in Houston provides climate-controlled collector-car storage and specialized automotive services for owners of classic, exotic, and luxury vehicles.
For owners buying, selling, maintaining, or storing specialty vehicles, having access to these services through one automotive destination can simplify the ownership experience. Specific service arrangements, scheduling, and prices should be confirmed directly with the respective providers.
Collector Community and Additional Storage Services
Although Alara is not presented as a deeded car condo development, it is part of Houston’s collector-car community. The facility has hosted automotive gatherings and is listed as a meeting location by the Lone Star Region of the Porsche Club of America.
Its wider group of associated services also includes Alara Vino for climate-controlled wine storage and Alara Art for secure fine-art storage. These offerings complement the facility’s focus on protecting valued collections.
How Alara Garage Differs From a Car Condo Club
In a traditional car condo development, buyers generally purchase individually deeded garage units that they can customize, subject to property rules and approvals. Alara Garage instead markets professionally managed automotive storage and related services. The company’s published information does not establish individual garage-unit ownership.
That distinction matters for collectors comparing storage options. Buyers interested in owning a private garage condominium should verify the legal ownership structure of any property, while those seeking managed storage can ask Alara about its available spaces, vehicle-care packages, and concierge services.

Collectors interested in storing a classic, exotic, or luxury automobile can contact Alara Garage for current space availability, rates, vehicle-care services, and tour arrangements. Service offerings and access arrangements may vary.
