Around 2005 the current residents of the house were told they had to move out, as the interior of the house was to get a complete renovation. This spelled the end of The Garage as it was known. One final blow out party was organized by Justin Fisher, who had moved out years earlier when he got married but still had close connections to its current residents who were being evicted. At the party, Weezer fans cut off pieces of the famous, ugly, ineffective soundproofing used carpeting that had lined the walls and ceiling of the Garage for nearly 15 years, to keep as mementos.

In 2008, Weezer drove around Los Angeles with their friend from these early years, Jackass' Johnny Knoxville to promote their new album.  While driving around, the band returned back to the Amherst house and discussed some of its history.
