Every vehicle that is in storage gets hooked up to a Deltran battery tender. It is a smart float-type charger, with a microprocessor constantly monitoring your battery. We do not disconnect batteries except at the customers’ request. You can also provide your own battery tender for us to hook up.

Since we keep our facility above 15 degrees Celsius, there aren't any issues with flat spots forming on your tires. We do not recommend putting your vehicle on jacks or over-inflating your tires. If your tire runs flat in storage we will make sure to fill it back up to the PSI recommended for your vehicle. We will also check & fill your tires to recommended PSI prior to your pick-up appointment.

From what the experts say, most of your engine wear happens in the first few minutes of the vehicle running. Your engine is essentially running dry until your engine fully circulates the oil. Constantly turning an engine on without bringing it up to operating temperature can result in unwanted damage. We do not recommend monthly start-ups.

For EVs, the main thing is keeping the main battery and 12V battery charged. It is recommended to keep your main battery charged to 50-55% during storage. Each storage spot is powered so your car will be plugged in to charge, and a Deltran battery tender will be supplied to keep your 12V battery charged.

We recommend you clean your wheels before your vehicle enters storage. Brake dust builds up over time and is very corrosive and shouldn't sit on your wheels long-term. One tip to prevent build up is waxing your wheels. Wax builds up a surface that brake dust will take longer to adhere to.

Your vehicle should be washed prior to storing it. Built up road dirt & salt can help rust to form. Since our facility is relatively dirt & dust free, we don't recommend using a car cover. In our experience, dirt & dust particles can scratch your vehicle’s finish when a car cover is put on. Our facility doesn’t have any windows to allow in UV light that would fade your paint and upholstery.

Customers often ask us about fuel degradation. Modern fuels don’t break down as quickly as they used to. Having a vehicle in heated storage without frequent temperature fluctuations means you probably don’t need to add fuel stabilizer. We only add stabilizer at customer request. We also suggest making sure your fuel tank is at least 3/4 full which will prevent unwanted moisture building up.

Since our opening in 2003, we have not had any issues with pests like mice and other rodents. Our facility is equipped with numerous traps along exterior/interior walls and doors.
