Despite recently ringing in the New Year, it’s safe to say that spring is a very long time away! The harsh and unpredictable winter weather can make enjoying your classic car pretty difficult, and steps should therefore be taken to safeguard your pride and joy from the wind, rain, snow and ice.
Use the following top tips to look after your classic car during the colder months ahead and ensure nothing stops you from hitting the road come spring.
Hanging up your driving gloves is a must come the winter months. Whilst it’s true that cars – whether classic, prestige or your everyday runaround – need to be used on a regular basis to stay in tip top condition, keeping your classic car off the road during winter unlocks more advantages than disadvantages.
Wet weather and salt on the roads can accelerate the rusting process for example. Harsh weather conditions can also damage paintwork, which will mean any time and money you’ve spent restoring your classic car will be wasted.
Keeping your classic car off the road is one thing, but where should you store it when it’s not in use? An exposed driveway or damp garage aren’t the best choices after all. Thankfully our modern, secure, purpose-built car storage facility in the heart of Northamptonshire will provide a home away from home for your classic motor.
Here at Best Car Storage, we understand that not any old storage facility will do. That’s why our storage unit is climate controlled and monitored 24 hours a day to ensure your classic car is in the best hands when it’s away from home.
Before you store your classic vehicle, it’s always best to give it one, last thorough clean. A professional clean from top to bottom is all a part of the service here at Best Car Storage, with paint correction, detailing and even MOT testing provided whenever it’s needed at any stage of your vehicle’s stay with us.
We’re sure you’ll be counting down the days until you can get back out onto the open road so make sure your classic car is ready for action as soon as spring arrives.
It’s recommended that you change the oil, filters and coolant before storing your classic vehicle for the season. But again, we can do all this for you. We can service your classic car during its time with us.
