Production
The Parking Garage was written by Larry David, his 4th writing credit for the season and was directed by Tom Cherones, his 4th directing credit for the season. The episode was difficult to write and create as it all had to be done on the normal Seinfeld soundstage. Jerry's apartment and the studio audience seating was removed. Every shot used showed the entire set so it constantly required shooting from different angles. Mirrors all around the perimeters of the stage gave the illusion of being in a giant parking garage was complete. The end was scripted to have the gang drive off together.
The car failing to start at the end of the episode was an accident. An old car was used, and when it did not start, it was decided to keep it in the episode as something else going wrong. Jason Alexander and Julia Louis-Dreyfus can briefly be seen starting to laugh when the car didn't start.
