Should You Set Up Luxury Car Garage Storage at Home?

First things first: you don’t have to tackle this challenge alone. There are a wide variety of climate-controlled luxury car storage locations in the greater Los Angeles area, and most will allow you to store a vehicle for any length of time in exchange for a monthly fee.

With that said, we wouldn’t blame you if you decided not to entrust your Rolls-Royce to anyone else. With the right garage setup, storing a car at home is a relatively easy and rewarding project.

Storing a Car: Getting Started

Storing a car in a garage is relatively simple, but only when you’ve covered all your bases. Before you move your luxury car into garage storage, follow these steps to protect your investment:

1. Use a car storage lift, or jack stands, to get your vehicle off the ground. Failing this, purchase tire cradles designed to prevent the formation of permanent flat spots.
2. Connect your battery to a charging device that will maintain its current power level.
3. Change the oilto clear out as much grime as possible.
4. Fill up your gas tank to prevent water accumulation and rust.
5. Protect your engine cylinders by replacing each of your spark plugs.
6. Clean and detail the interior and exterior of your vehicle.
7. Purchase interior and exterior car covers to minimize wear and reduce the impact of the elements. Lay down a tarp to eliminate any risk posed by leaks.
8. Wrap up your wiper blades with plastic to prevent them from sticking to the windshield.
9. Block any openings—including tailpipes and air intakes—with rags. If you skip this step, small insects or animals may try to make a home in your vehicle.
10. Deactivate your parking brake to avoid issues when you’re ready to drive again. If you’re worried that your vehicle may roll, use wheel chocks instead.

The weather in Glendale and Burbank is usually not a major risk factor to those who plan to store their cars for months at a time. However, it’s generally a good idea to introduce some climate controls into your garage storage space. Extreme heat, extreme cold, and excessive humidity can all take a toll on your vehicle.

No matter what you need to set up your luxury car storage space, the experts at our parts department can set you up for success. We’d also be happy to talk you through the process from start to finish.
