5 reasons you need to store your car this summer
Owning a car that you really love is something everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime.
However, once you finally own you dream car, you have a responsibility to care for your pride and joy and keep it safe.
During the summer months, it’s great to feel the wind in your hair as you press hard on the accelerator and watch other road users admire your car. But the summer months can also bring potential maintenance and safety issues for your car that you may not have considered.
Keeping your car somewhere safe when it’s not being driven is paramount to ensuring it’s always in tip-top condition.
With that in mind, here’s five great reasons why you should consider storing your car this summer:
1. Protection from the weather
Whilst our often-short-lived Great British summers may not seem like a threat to your car, high temperatures and hot sun can cause havoc with your paintwork, dashboards and interiors.
The glory of the summer garden can also cause problems for you too, as parking closely to trees or bushes can result in your car being covered with sticky sap and berries that might permanently damage your paintwork.
2. Protect your car from vandalism or damage
If you live in a city or built-up area and have to park your car on the road, you’re more likely to see it damaged during the summer months than at any other time of year.
The warm weather brings people out in their droves, meaning there’ll be more chance of accidental bumps or knocks from overcrowded side roads, children playing outside or even late-night revelers.
3. Freeing Up Space
If your car is parked close to your garden, you may want to use the parking space in other ways when the sun is shining.
Your other family members may not want to be sitting so close to your pride and joy while they’re sunbathing and having it safely tucked away will also prevent accidental damage from overzealous ball games, industrial lawn mowing and other outdoor activities.
4. Stress-free travelling
If you’re planning on taking a holiday over the summer, leaving your car unattended may be a worry for you.
If you instead pop it in a secure storage facility, you won’t even have to give it a second thought, because you’ll know it’ll be well looked after while you are away.
5. Give your car a holiday, too!
A professional and high-quality car storage facility will be able to offer a range of maintenance options whilst your car is tucked away for the summer.
