Guidelines for Storing a Vehicle
- When storing a vehicle you should always consult your owners' manual or manufacturers' website because you don’t wants to void your warranty.
Helpful Tips
- Vehicles should be washed and waxed to remove grit, which will prevent damage to its paint and parts.
- A clean car should be covered with a breathable cloth cover to prevent moisture buildup and paint scratches [plastic covers should be avoided as they trap moisture that can cause rust and paint damage].
- You should remove the battery entirely and store it somewhere with climate control, like inside in your home.
- Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and continue to stabilize it while in storage, this is to protect the gas tank from rust and other issues.
- Check tire pressure they should be set to the factory – recommended pressure and monitored throughout the changing temperatures.
- Protect your vehicle from rodents, rodents will look for shelter during the cold months and can find their way into vehicles to hide they also like to chew on electric wires. Though we do our best in keeping pests out of our facility, it never hurts to have additional protection:
- Break up pieces of Irish spring soap [the smell repels most pests].
- Rodent traps placed under the vehicle. No glue traps allowed.
- Setting air-conditioning to “recirculate” should close the ventilation system off to the outside and helps stop rodents from getting in.
- Closing off-air intake and tail pipes will keep bugs and rodents out of engines as well as; block the moist air which can lead to corrosion of components.
By following steps to winterize your car you can rest easy knowing your car is in good shape. It never hurts to stop by your storage facility and check on your vehicle to make sure all your precautions are still working.
