Critical Tips For Vehicle Storage

By Juana Buchanan


If you are planning to go out of town for an extended time period then it could be a better option to consider storing your vehicle. There are many service providers offering vehicle storage services to their clients. These service providers have their own authorised car parks which can be used by their customers in order to store their vehicle for a long period of time.

The reason why you should go to a service provider in order to store your vehicle is that they make sure your car remains in good shape. Its a fact that the car's engine requires regular maintenance so there should be someone who could do that for you when you are away.

You should keep this in mind that you need to disconnect the battery cables because if the car is not in running condition and the better is left as it is, it might get damaged and cause circuit issues. Sometimes batteries discharge certain kind of white thick liquid which damages and corrodes the cables.

You don't have to worry about storing your vehicle if you are leaving for short period of time like a couple of days. Whereas, if its confirmed that you would not be around for good couple of months then ensue that all safety measures are taken before storing it in a suitable place. Although certain amount of wear and tear might occur but that should not exceed beyond expectations.

Its a good idea to get your car all clean and tidy before storing it because if you store it as it is, the debris and dirt that is already present on the car could damage it immensely Its important to clean from outside as well as inside as thoroughly as possible. You would not want your auto mobile to get damaged from outside as well so take extra measures if possible.

Provided that you are taking care of the car in the best way possible while fulfilling all the important measures, then it can be said that the vehicle could be easily stored for many days and sometimes years. You should not let the lubricants to corrode the engine so its better if you keep it running after every few days. If you are planning to store it for several months, then you should replace the engine oil with a new one because old engine oil could easily corrode your vehicle.

For some reason, if its not possible for you to care for the vehicle when you have decided to store it, then always ask someone else for taking care of the vehicle for you. You could either ask your friend or hire the services of an expert service provider who will care for the car on your behalf for an extended period of time.

Your main worry should be to keep the engine in good shape while reducing the risks of any signs of corrosion. You could try covering it with a cloth so that it stays protected from dust and debris. The outer body should be dry and clean before you cover it with a cloth.
