Preserve Your Classic Vehicle with StaxUP Storage - Homeland
Classic car owners know that storing their cars properly is essential to keep them in good shape and maintain their value. StaxUP Storage - Homeland has outdoor parking and large storage units that are perfect for collectors, whether they want to protect an old roadster or a rare muscle car. Your classic car will be safe and ready for the next journey if you store it in a place that is secure and easy to access.
Why Proper Storage Matters for Classic Vehicles
Taking care of your vehicle is essential, but classic cars require even more maintenance than their counterparts. Vintage vehicles are often more likely to be damaged by the environment – water can cause rust, too much time in the sun makes paint fade, and too long without use can wear out tires and seals. Without a dedicated storage option, even short-term exposure to the weather can damage your vehicle and lower its value.
If you store your classic car at a professional facility like StaxUP Storage - Homeland, it will be safe from typical dangers. Covered parking spots and large storage units are safe places to keep your car when it's not being used.
Protect Your Vehicle from Harm
Not only are classic cars expensive, but they're also a perfect target for people who might want to steal or damage them. If you leave your car parked on the street, in a driveway, or in your garage, it's likely to be damaged or stolen. A safe alternative is a storage facility like StaxUP Storage - Homeland, which has gated access, surveillance 24 hours a day, and individually secured units or parking spaces. These features keep your vintage vehicle safe, even during long-term storage.
Minimize Wear and Tear During Storage
Classic cars can suffer from being left alone for too long. Flat spots can form on tires, batteries can lose their charge, and fluids can settle, all of which can cause problems with the engine. Having the right storage options lets you take preventative steps that lower the risk of damage.
For example, at StaxUP Storage - Homeland, you can elevate your car to keep the tires from getting damaged and use a car cover to keep dust off of the exterior. If you park your car in one of the facility's outdoor parking spots, buy an all-weather cover to protect it from the weather.
Prepare Your Vehicle for Storage
Thoroughly prepare before you store your classic car so that it stays in great shape while in storage. Important steps are:
- Cleaning Thoroughly: Clean and wax the exterior of your vehicle to get rid of dirt and grime that can rust. Clean the inside to prevent the growth of mold.
- Maintaining Fluids: Fill up all the fluids, like engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid, to keep the inside from rusting or corroding.
- Protecting the Battery: To keep the battery charged, either disconnect it or use a trickle charger.
- Inflating Tires: To avoid flat spots, make sure you fill the tires to the right pressure. Consider using tire cradles or parking on wood to keep tires off the ground.
- Covering the Vehicle: Protect your car from dust and dirt with a breathable car cover, whether you park it outside or in cover.
- Checking In Frequently: Check on your vehicle regularly to make sure there are no unforeseen issues. You may also want to take it out for a short drive once a month or so.
If you follow these steps, your vehicle will be ready to go as soon as you get it back.
