Storing Your Car
If you are thinking of storing your car, it is
worth taking time to look for a reliable car self storage
facility, where it will be well looked after! Look for car
storage units that minimize vehicle storage expenses, prevent
deterioration, and ensure that your car will become operational
easily when you need it again.
It is best to store your car in an indoor car storage garage,
even if you are storing it for a short period. Indoor car
storage is a must for long term car storage.
If you must store your car in the open, use a car cover that is
fastened down securely.
If you dont have any space to store your car indoors, it may be
worthwhile to rent space in an indoor auto storage facility. You
car will be in a better condition, if you can make arrangements
for someone to take it for a drive from time to time while it is
in storage.

If you cannot make arrangements for storing your car properly
for a long time, you will have to spend some money on getting it
restored to working condition, when you need to use it again.
It pays to take time to prepare your car thoroughly, before you
put it in a car storage building. Wash, wax, and shine the
exterior of the car, and vacuum the interior and trunk. If you
leave food crumbs inside the car, they will attract pests.
Clean the underside and wheel wells thoroughly, to prevent
rusting. Add a gasoline stabilizer to the fuel, to prevent the
formation of varnish and gum. Remove the spark plugs and spray
some oil into the cylinders, to prevent the formation of rust.
Remove the battery and place it on a clean and dry plank of wood
or a polystyrene spacer. Clean it and connect to a battery
charger that is designed to maintain a battery during long
periods of storage.
Check the tire pressure, and add anti-freeze to the coolant if
necessary, to avoid freezing. Leave the parking brake in the off
position, and put the car in reverse gear.
Make sure that there are no personal items in the trunk or glove
compartment, and ensure that all the windows are closed.
