* In one episode of ''Monk'', Adrian Monk saw a garage that was so clean, neat, and organized that he became ecstatic at the sight. In his eyes, it was this trope.

* ''Film/IronMan'' the movie, included a surprisingly Cool Garage that is literally, Tony Stark's garage. An article in ''Popular Science'' even says that the [[WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys Cool Toys]] in said garage was more interesting than the rest of the movie.
** Well, given that one of them was [[ShoutOut Captain America's shield]]... [[spoiler:which even gets some (inglorious) use in the sequel.]]
*** Not to mention that it's less of a ShoutOut and more of a [[SequelHook hint]] at the then-unconfirmed ''Film/TheAvengers''.

* ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto''. Early games had garages that were infamous because a brief close of the door repaired any car in a second. [[AscendentGlitch This glitch become so well loved it was purposely kept in later games]].

* ''{{VideoGame/Fallout 4}}'' has the Red Rocket Station. 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, sturoe stuff, sleep, keep your companions there and customize your PowerArmour.

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

* [[NUMASeries Dirk Pitt]] actually ''lives'' in his in some volumes, amenities like a bed being something of an afterthought.

* The ''NeedForSpeed'' series, especially in ''Most Wanted''.
* ''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.''

* In ''WesternAnimation/SWATKats'', the civilian identities of the title SuperHero duo are mechanics who live at their garage--which also doubles as their ElaborateUndergroundBase.

* The [[MeaningfulName "Candy Store"]] from FastLane, loaded with [[CoolCar cool cars]] and other equipment, all of it seized from arrested criminals and used for undercover purposes.

->''"I must congratulate you, 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."''
-->-- '''[[Franchise/{{Batman}} Alfred Pennyworth]]''', ''DetectiveComics #0'' (1994)

* Lightning McQueen's trailer from ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}''.

* ''{{Thunderbirds}}'' Tracey Island has to represent the Mother of all {{Cool Garage}}s.

** ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo'', also car-themed, had a massive garage built below Angel Grove where the Turbo and Rescue Zords, as well as the RZ's carrier, Artillatron were stored. A section of street opened up to allow them out, though they could also be teleported out in their shrunken size if need be. (In the [[GekisouSentaiCarranger sentai]], it was part of where the Rangers worked, a normal garage, albeit this section was added by Dappu to store the mecha.)

* Dan Tanna on ''{{Vegas}}'' (1978) parked his 1957 Ford Thunderbird in his warehouse/office.

*** Not to mention that it's less of a ShoutOut and more of a [[SequelHook hint]] at the then-unconfirmed ''Film/AvengersAssemble''.

[[quoteright:350: [[{{Batman}} http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/batcave.jpg]]]]

* ''Comicbook/{{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.

* ''StreetHawk'' has Command Central with part garage, gym and command center for Tully to monitor Street Hawk's activities in the field. It also has a neat secret exit for the hero to leap out of when on a mission.

** Also, in Film/IronMan3, [[spoiler: Tony completely renovates the garage of the kid that helped him, and upgrades a lot of his science equipment.

* In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' an entire episode was devoted to the character Earl Cooper, who was not only the Batmobile's mechanic, but its designer. Cooper had a hidden CoolGarage where Bats took the Batmobile after its front end was crushed under a closing draw bridge.
