Finally, the series was aired for a special on CNBC in 2014 and became a weekly regular in 2015. It is equally surprising for the show’s viewers and celeb guests to see Leno speak so passionately about cars. His knowledge about the topic is something that many do not expect.

Where is Jay Leno’s Garage Located?
‘Jay Leno’s Garage’ is mostly filmed in…drum roll…Jay Leno’s garage! It is not a normal garage attached to a house as one would imagine. Instead, the garage is sprawled over three warehouses! It contains as many as 300 cars, including vintage ones that many people would not have ever seen. Most of the episodes begin in his garage but are also filmed elsewhere as Leno takes the car of the week for a spin. Sometimes, he stops at other places too. For instance, for one of the episodes, Leno stopped at the famous Formosa Cafe in West Hollywood to enjoy Elvis Presely’s favorite dish!
The exact location of Jay Leno’s garage is 3160 North Damon Way in Burbank, California. Have a look at the following video, which shows the garage and Leno taking one of his coolest, vintage cars for a drive.
