Never keep a guinea pig in a used garrage with a car as the fumes are not good at all. I would move any toxic things, such as weed killer and keep them in the shed. Ideally in an outdoor cage as the offer more protection from the cold. If not, make sure they have plenty of bedding. A heat warming plate is also a good idea, you can microwave them and they stay warm for up for 12 hours, and can be put under the bedding.
The pets at home website and store sells them

In an ideal world you should really wait until summer to put them outside, especially in the indoor cage!! Otherwise just make sure they’re nice and warm, and take out anthing that could hurt them!

It is best that you contact them to find out. Doesn’t cost a thing to call. Get a name of the person you spoke to and that way you will avoid any disputes in the future.

If they are kept inside the house, they should never be moved away from the warmth they are used to. They can get chest infections very easy. Plus they will miss the attention they are used to.
Don’t put them any where near the car as it will sooner or later kill them. As long as chemicals are well sealed and well away from them, it is normally not too bad.

I kept mine in a unheated shed and they were fine (they lived for about 5 years). Just give them a lot of hay, more when its cold and they will burrow.

Here in Manitoba ,we are allowed an 8X8 structure without getting a permit.Although i also know a couple of people that have gotten away with 8 X 10.Hmmmm I wonder if they have connections on the inside,hahaha.These are city regs mind you.Country living might be different if it falls under municipality regs.

Make sure it isn't too cold and car fumes are actually really bad for piggies, it can cause URI's or even death because they're so sensitive to toxic things.
