Why is climate-controlled storage so important for your car or motorbike?

3 July 2023

With a reputation for delivering 100% secure storage for classic and prestige vehicles, our storage services are the best around. From our discreet, rural location, we specialise in providing the perfect setting and support to take care of your vehicle when it’s off the road and away from home.

Not all car storage facilities were created equal. Old, dusty sheds; cold warehouses; and rundown, backstreet garages present far from ideal conditions for the storage of your pride and joy.

At SCRACS, we put security first, with our 24-hour surveillance keeping your vehicle as safe as it should be no matter how long its stay with us. Our use of the latest climate control technology is also renowned. But why should climate-controlled storage be your first choice?

Reduce the risk of rust

Moisture can make a meal of your vehicle whatever the season. With a climate-controlled environment, the space your vehicle is stored in will be neither too hot nor too cold. The presence of moisture in the air will also be minimised to eliminate the risk of corrosion. 

Keep tyres in tip top condition

If you’re storing your car or motorbike during the summer months, the warming weather presents yet more challenges. Temperature increases can leave your tyres a little flat, with the weight of the stationary vehicle causing loss of air in the face of heat rises.

Your tyres may be able to be easily re-inflated, but a flat may compromise the condition of your wheel rims to cause long term damage. By choosing a climate-controlled storage facility, you can avoid this inconvenient and damaging effect.

Keep those fluid levels just right

Whether storing your vehicle with us in the summer or winter, your fluid levels should be maintained. Without climate control, fluids can all too easily evaporate leaving damaging deposits behind.

Safeguard your investment

By avoiding the issues mentioned above, you can successfully protect your investment. Here at SCRACS, we understand just how much your specialist, sports, classic or prestige vehicle means to you.

By selecting one of our climate-controlled units, you can take steps to preserve the condition of your vehicle, and avoid unnecessary and costly maintenance and repairs.

Hit the road even quicker

When the time does come to reintroduce your car or motorbike to the open road, you can enjoy your adventure without delay. The joy of climate-controlled storage is that your vehicle will stay in the same condition as the day you left it.
