Preparing Your Vehicle for Storage

Proper preparation is crucial to ensure your vehicle remains in excellent condition while in storage. Follow these essential steps before storing your car, motorbike, or fleet vehicle at Blue Bear Self Storage in St Ives:

1. Clean Your Vehicle Thoroughly

• Wash and wax the exterior to remove dirt, grime, and moisture that can lead to rust or corrosion.
• Vacuum and clean the interior to eliminate food particles and odours that might attract pests.

2. Protect Against Moisture

• Use a high-quality vehicle cover, even in a weatherproof storage unit, to shield your car or bike from dust and potential condensation.
• Consider placing moisture absorbers or silica gel packs inside the vehicle to prevent mold and mildew build-up.

3. Check Fluids and Battery

• Oil and Coolant: Change the oil and top up the coolant to prevent contaminants from damaging the engine.
• Fuel: Fill the tank to prevent condensation and add a fuel stabilizer to avoid fuel degradation.
• Battery: Disconnect the battery to prevent drainage or connect it to a trickle charger to maintain its charge.

4. Inflate Tires

Inflate tires to the recommended pressure to prevent flat spots during long-term storage. For extended periods, consider placing the vehicle on jack stands.

5. Cover Openings

Plug exhaust pipes and air intakes with a cloth or cover to keep out pests. Remember to remove these before starting the vehicle again.

6. Secure the Vehicle

Engage the parking brake or use wheel chocks to prevent movement, but avoid leaving the brake engaged for long periods to prevent it from sticking.

7. Double-Check Your Insurance

Confirm that your vehicle’s insurance covers storage, or adjust the policy to include comprehensive coverage while it’s not in use.
