Our services for your Car
Cars are stored locked indoors or outdoors in our secure warehouse and are kept in running condition. Every thirty days fluid levels are checked and your car is started and run for at least 15 minutes. During this time doors will be opened and the car is given a chance to “air out”, this lessens the likelihood of the car having a storage smell at the end of the storage period. The car is moved within a one mile radius of the warehouse to lessen the possibility that the tires will develop “flat spots”, and to help keep seals moist and the bearings and gears lubricated. While the car is running the air conditioner and the heater are turned on. If at any time car will not start or has other problems, you will be notified. Before we deliver your car back to you we will make sure it's freshly washed.
Getting Your Car Ready For Storage
To minimize deterioration of y our car during storage we recommend:
Raise tire pressure to help prevent flat spots.
Wash and wax your car before storage to remove road grit, acid rain residues and, in winter, road salt.
Thoroughly clean out and vacuum the interior, including under the seats, making sure to remove crumbs, food wrappers, etc.
Fill your gas tank to minimize in-tank condensation.
Add a fuel preservative to prevent gum and varnish formation. Modern fuel formulas break down quickly. Then run engine 5-10 minutes to ensure treated fuel is distributed throughout the fuel delivery system.
Also consider the following:
Change engine oil and filter as combustion by-products trapped in your “used” oil contain moisture and are measurably acidic.
Flush and replace coolant to renew the antioxidants used in modern anti-freeze.
Flush and replace brake fluid as it is highly hygroscopic and contaminated fluid can cause costly corrosive damage in precision
brake systems.
Have a fresh battery installed, especially if the current battery is more than three years old.
