Storage Protection for the Wheels You Drive

While everyone has seen the classic car collections of Hollywood personalities Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld, and understands the special environments which are maintained to house these classic and exotic cars which sit undriven, most of us will never need a ‘museum environment’ to protect the cars we own and drive.

Life can be unpredictable these days, and you may find yourself in a situation where the vehicle you own will not be needed for a period of time. Maybe because of a work/study sabbatical or long vacation, the car you own will be staying behind. Perhaps it’s just an opportunity for a change of scenery, 
housesitting for a friend and having full access to their vehicle while there. Military deployment will keep you away from home for many months, leaving your vehicle to sit all that time. 

The last thing you want to do is leave it sitting in your driveway, in a public parking area or even in the better protection of a garage for weeks on end. It will be vulnerable to theft, a worst case scenario to return home to. Then there is the threat of weather related damage, squirrels eating the covering off electrical wiring or building nests under the hood, or even just something simple like a dead battery. Leaving a car for an extended period of time can also really damage it’s engine – shortening it’s life and costing you money in the long run.

Once the decision is made to store the vehicle, locating a convenient car storage facility equipped to take care of your vehicle properly will be your next step. The vehicle itself needs to be prepared for the coming storage, but a quality auto storage facility will be able to inform you of all those particulars.

1. Storage building is insulated and sealed (climate-controlled), with humidity kept to very low levels to prevent rust.

2. Complete security, with CCTV systems and intruder alarms covering the entire building top to bottom.

3. Available preventative maintenance programs and full motor trade policy.

Whether for a week, a month or a year, placing your car in a car storage facility gives you peace of mind, knowing the vehicle is secure and protected from both Mother Nature and trespassers.
