After spending years trying to find a great job, I was finally offered the gig of my dreams. It felt like I was walking on a cloud, until they told me that I would have to relocate to halfway around the world. I was really frustrated, so I decided that it might be best to see about renting a long term storage facility. I didn't want to risk dealing with problems stemming from leaving belongings with a friend or family member, so I worked hard to find an excellent storage facility that would work well. I was able to find a facility that offered long-term units, and they really seemed to understand my needs. This blog is all about storing successfully for as long as you need to.
Long Term Storage Success
Why You Should Store Your High-End Vehicle for the Winter
Andy Lopez
Do you own a sports car, a luxury vehicle, or anything else on wheels that set you back a pretty penny? If so, you might be dreading the return of winter and the inevitable results of a salt-covered road on your vehicle. But this year, you can fight back against Mother Nature by making sure your high-end vehicle never has to drive through the ice and snow. A local self-storage facility likely has at least a few large storage units that are big enough to park a car in. Here's why taking your car to a local storage facility might be the right move.
Protect Your Vehicle’s Paint Job
Most high-end vehicles owners take great pride in their cars. You likely do everything you can to keep your paint job looking as good as possible. Even one coating of road salt could be enough to cause you to lose that perfect new-car shine. Yes, you can always wash your vehicle and add wax or a paint sealant to protect it, but why risk damage when you don't have to? Keep your vehicle off the road all winter long, and your paint job will look just as good as you expect it to when spring and warmer weather return.
Save Space in Your Garage
Of course, an alternative to using a storage facility is to just park the car inside your own garage. This might be fine if you never use your garage for anything else, but in some cases, it's less than ideal. If you have a workshop in your garage, for example, having a car parked in the middle of it is not a good idea. You also won't be able to have a garage sale or store heavy equipment on that side of the garage. You might also be nervous every time your young kid (or even a "big" kid) walks anywhere near your expensive car. Parking your vehicle in a storage facility will ensure that it is completely out of harm's way and will return your garage space to you for anything else you'd like to use it for.
Self-storage facilities aren't just for your extra box of baseball cards, holiday decorations, or antique furniture. Rent a unit large enough to accommodate a vehicle, and you can keep your sports car or other expensive vehicle away from Mother Nature's wrath this winter. Contact a self-storage facility near you for more information.
