Preparation and storage of the vehicle:
How do you prepare your car for long-term storage?
We recommend that you clean and wash your car before you put it into storage. Apply a new coat of wax to keep your paintwork shiny and well protected. Vacuum the interior of your vehicle to remove crumbs and bugs. If you decide to rent one of our free spaces, consider buying a car cover. Car covers can provide additional protection for your upholstery from the sun and weather. We also recommend disconnecting the battery from your vehicle. This will ensure that nothing in the car will discharge the battery during storage. If you are storing your car for a long period, you should lift it on a jack to take the weight off the tires. This will prevent punctures, which can make driving dangerous. Add all fluids before long-term storage. This includes filling the fuel tank, changing the oil, and topping up the coolant. It is also important not to release the parking brake. It may sound strange, but when the parking brake is applied, the brake pads can bind with the rotors of your vehicle.
Do you allow tenants to work with their cars in the storage facility?
Unfortunately, no. Gearheads, mechanics, and all tradesmen are welcome in our facility, but handling Vehicle Storage Units in our departments creates potential oil and fluid disposal issues and we strive to create an environment that is beneficial to all of our customers. The noise, smoke, and smells associated with car maintenance can affect other tenants. If you need to work on your car, please do so before putting it into storage.
