- Before storing your car, make sure you do the regular maintenance tasks. This includes changing the oil, filling up the tank, and checking all the fluids. For long-term storage, focus on your battery. It's a good idea to start and drive your car every few months to avoid battery problems. If you can, disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place to stop it from draining. These steps will help you avoid problems when you take your car out of storage.
- After that, focus on keeping pests away. Bugs and rodents can cause a lot of damage if they get into your car. Use things that keep pests away and keep your car clean to stop them from nesting inside. Also, seal any cracks or openings in your car to make it harder for pests to get in. Check your car often for signs of pests and take steps to stop them before they cause damage.
- Lastly, make sure to clean and cover your car. Clean it well, both inside and outside, to avoid scratches and paint damage. After it's dry, use a special cover made for storing cars to keep dust and debris off the exterior.
