    Helpful Tools to Preparing Your Antique Car for Storage

    Helpful-Tools-to-Preparing-Your-Antique-Car-for-Storage-car-storage-ABBA-Self-Storage-Units

    November 19, 2021 //  by ABBA Self & RV Storage

    Before putting your antique car into car storage units, Concord residents should perform maintenance and prepare the vehicle. If this will be long-term storage, there will be a few final preparations that need to be done at the storage facility. These tools and tips were put together expressly for antique and classic car owners and will help you keep your prized vehicles protected.

    Battery Maintainer

    There is nothing more frustrating than arriving to pick up your antique car at the car storage units in Concord, CA, and discovering that your battery has lost its charge. The best tool to avoid this problem is to connect a battery maintainer up while the vehicle is sitting idle. You will need access to an electric outlet for indoor car storage units, or you can pick up a solar battery maintainer in outdoor storage facilities.

    Car Cover

    Even sitting in a car storage unit there are great reasons to put a breathable car cover over the vehicle. It will protect the finish against scuffs and scratches and will provide you with a bit of a buffer if you have to move around the vehicle while it is stored. You want your prized car to look just as good when you take it out of storage as it did going in, and a car cover is well worth the investment.

    Cleaners and Protectants

    It is a good idea to detail your car before storing it. You will need an assortment of auto cleaners, including treatments for your dash, seats, and tires. Go ahead and use a water repellent on your windshields, vacuum the carpet, and add a spritz of your favorite air freshening scent. Don’t forget the cleaning accessories like soft rags and latex gloves. 

    Fuel Stabilizer

    Fill your tank and add a fuel stabilizer on the way to your Concord car storage location. This is especially important for long-term car storage because the stabilizer will work to prevent oxidation in the tank and prevent a chemical breakdown in the fuel.

    Jack and Jack Stands

    If you are going to the car storage units Concord has to offer for a long period of time, it is a good idea to put it on jack stands during the idle period. This takes the wear of the vehicle weight off the rubber tires and helps them stay stronger longer. You could even let a little air out of the tires, but be sure to bring a portable tire inflator with you when you return.

    Keeping your antique auto at local car storage units in Concord means you can take it for a spin whenever you like. And when you prepare it before putting it in storage, it will be ready to show the world when you pull the car cover off.
