Why servicing and maintenance matter, even when your car isn’t on the road.

At Country Car Vehicle Storage, we understand that your vehicle is more than just transport it’s an investment. Whether it’s a cherished classic, a luxury vehicle, or your weekend sports car, proper care while in storage ensures it’s ready to perform the moment you turn the key.

Regular Servicing, Prevent Problems before they Start.

Even when your car isn’t moving, time still takes its toll. Oils, fluids, and seals can degrade or dry out, leading to costly issues down the road.
Regular servicing while in storage helps to:

• Keep engine fluids fresh and prevent internal corrosion.

• Identify any small leaks or faults before they become major repairs.

• Ensure brakes, belts, and seals remain in good condition.

A quick check-over and fluid refresh can save you a world of trouble when you bring your car back out.

Trickle Charging Protect Your Battery’s Lifespan.

Modern batteries don’t like to sit idle. Without regular charging, they can lose capacity or fail completely.
A trickle charger (battery conditioner):

• Keeps your battery topped up safely over time.

• Prevents deep discharge and sulfation (a common cause of battery death).

• Ensures your car starts instantly when you’re ready to drive again.

At our storage facility, we offer monitored trickle charging as part of our service to keep your vehicle’s battery healthy.

Start-Ups & Light Movement, Keep Everything Lubricated.

Starting and running your engine periodically isn’t just about hearing it roar, it’s essential maintenance.
Regular start-ups help to:

• Circulate oils and fluids through the system.

• Maintain lubrication of seals, bearings, and moving parts.

• Prevent flat spots on tyres and sticking brakes.

Our team carefully warms up each engine and moves vehicles slightly to avoid long-term mechanical strain.

In Summary.

Your vehicle may be resting, but it shouldn’t be neglected.
Regular servicing, battery maintenance, and controlled start-ups ensure your pride and joy stays in peak condition, ready for the open road when you are.
