FAQs about car storage
Upon arrival, each car undergoes thorough inspection and valeting. We also offer additional services such as trickle charging, vehicle covers, and routine checks and inspections. While we recommend maintaining your usual insurance policy, at the very least for fire and theft coverage, we do have a comprehensive trade policy in place that covers your car while it is under our care. We have written an article outlining the best way to prepare a car for storage HERE.
As part of a larger motor trade business offering garage services to brands such as Mercedes, Jaguar, Land Rover, Aston Martin, and Bentley, we can provide not only a car garage for rent and winter car storage but also a range of services to meet your needs. These include servicing, on-site MOTs, valeting, paint protection, and more. If you plan to leave your car unused for an extended period, we can recommend, supply, and install special storage oils and fuels to prevent degradation or contamination. We have written about the issues associated with modern E10 fuels and the benefits of storage fuels in our blog article.
We are covered by an ‘All Risks’ Motor Trade insurance policy underwritten by Aviva so rest assured that your car is insured whilst in our care. When your car is first placed in our care, we require a valuation to advise our insurers and valuations above £100K may incur additional charges. Whilst our cover is comprehensive, we do urge and advise you to maintain your normal cover for peace of mind in all eventualities.
Our main storage premises’ location is a small village nearby with no passing traffic or footfall and vehicular access is strictly controlled. The vehicles are placed within a locked, gated compound with discrete facias and no windows. We do not advertise the location and only rarely permit visitors on an accompanied, invitation basis. The building has “Redcare” alarms which alert the police immediately in the event of a breach and we have installed a digitally recorded CCTV system with remote access facilities. All keys are kept safely locked up off site.
