PDF Version of this document:

Before you store your vehicle with us, please follow the requirements below:

​

  • Vehicle must run and drive

  • Vehicle must be clean (free from any major road debris, salt, etc). This helps keep our facility clean and more importantly prevents any unnecessary paint/frame damage during prolonged storage

  • Vehicle should have no major leaks, if you have a small leak please inform us so we can provide drip trays when necessary

  • Vehicle must be insured during storage (for any specialty vehicles (i.e. race cars/bikes) please contact us)

  • Ensure you take any and all personal belongings from the vehicle

  • Please ensure car has less than a quarter of a tank of fuel

Recommendations to make sure your vehicle is properly stored:

​

  • We highly recommend a car/bike cover (this ensures maximum protection during storage) 

  • The battery should be in good condition for prolonged storage - we offer battery tending to alleviate this concern

  • Change your oil - storing your vehicle with fresh oil will reduce the risk of harmful contaminants working away at your engine

  • Adding fuel stabilizer - this will stop any oxidation and chemical breakdown in your fuel

  • Increase tire pressure to prevent flat spots ( +5 psi )

  • Bikes should have their chains cleaned

  • Carbureted bikes should have fuel petcock in the off position during storage

  • Sportbike owners - if you own paddock stands feel free to bring them with you and we will store your bike on them

​

  • We will ask to see proof of ownership/insurance

  • We will need a copy of your license as well as contact info

  • We will inspect every car/bike upon arrival to our facility - noting the following:

  • Any existing damage (scratches/dents/imperfections) to the body and wheels​
