Tips for Proper Car Storage

Preparing your car properly before storage helps keep it in optimal condition. Follow these tips before placing your car in storage:

 

• Clean the exterior and interior: Remove dirt, debris, and moisture to prevent corrosion and mould.

• Check fluid levels: Ensure oil, coolant, and other fluids are at proper levels to avoid issues.

• Disconnect the battery: Prevent battery drainage by disconnecting or using a trickle charger.

• Inflate tires to the recommended pressure: Reduce the risk of flat spots forming during storage.

• Use a car cover: Protect the vehicle from dust and minor scratches, even in indoor storage.

 

Ensuring Vehicle Safety in Storage

For long-term storage, additional precautions help maintain your vehicle’s performance and security:

​

• Fuel stabilization: Adding a fuel stabilizer prevents the gasoline from breaking down.

• Rodent prevention: Sealing entry points and using deterrents help keep pests away.

• Periodic start-ups: If possible, starting the car occasionally helps maintain engine function.

• Insurance and registration: Keeping the vehicle insured while in storage is advisable for protection.

 

Vehicle Storage: A Complete Guide to Keeping Your Car Safe

Proper storage goes beyond simply parking a car in a secure space. To extend your vehicle’s lifespan, consider:

​

• Security features: Look for a facility with surveillance, controlled access, and secure fencing.

• Indoor vs. outdoor storage: Indoor storage offers more protection, while outdoor storage provides a cost-effective alternative.

• Accessibility and convenience: Choose a facility that allows flexible access based on your schedule.

• Storage terms and costs: Compare rental terms to find an option that meets your budget and storage duration needs.

 

Additional Storage Considerations Storing Seasonal Vehicles

Certain vehicles, such as motorcycles, RVs, and classic cars, require specialized storage solutions. Seasonal storage ensures these vehicles remain in top condition during periods of non-use. Essential factors for seasonal vehicle storage include:

 

• Motorcycle storage: Keep motorcycles covered, fuel stabilized, and tires elevated to prevent flat spots.

• RV and trailer storage: Drain water tanks, secure seals, and protect against weather exposure.

• Classic car storage: Store in climate-controlled units to prevent deterioration and fading.

 

By choosing a dedicated storage facility, you can help preserve your vehicle’s value and condition during periods of non-use.
