Whether you have a classic car, a motorcycle or an extra family vehicle, storing it properly protects your investment. Statesville’s seasonal temperature swings can take a toll on automobiles left unattended. Follow these steps before parking your vehicle in a storage unit:

Clean and inspect

• Wash and wax the exterior to remove dirt and protect paint.
• Vacuum and wipe down the interior to discourage pests.
• Inspect for leaks, worn hoses or belts and address any repairs.

Maintain fluids and battery

• Change the oil and filter to remove contaminants.
• Fill the gas tank and add fuel stabilizer to prevent oxidation.
• Top off coolant and brake fluid.
• Disconnect the battery or connect it to a maintenance charger to prevent drain.

Protect tires and moving parts

• Inflate tires to the recommended pressure and consider placing the vehicle on jack stands to relieve pressure on the suspension.
• Lubricate hinges, locks and moving parts to prevent rust.

Cover and secure

• Close windows and sunroofs. Cover the vehicle with a breathable car cover to keep dust off and moisture out.
• Place a moisture absorber in the cabin to reduce humidity.
