I have seen this question online before, without definitive answers. This is a potential business model for someone in the LA/OC region (here is a company in Washington that does it). Community Colleges, specifically Santa Monica Community College, sometimes, I have seen guys claim online. I would call some of the shops in your immediate area... maybe start with whoever has been your regular mechanic (if you have had one). Ask if they know of places. Walk in when they're not super busy and strike up a conversation... see what you learn.

There are also the long term storage facilities, which will sometimes let people store cars... ask.

Good luck.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
