- Elevate your car - consider using axle stands to take the pressure off your tyres
- Temperature - try storing your car in a temperate condition

Winter Storage Tips
Preparing for Spring
If you are planning to store your classic car in the garage over the Winter months, there are some key preparations to ensure its pristine condition.
- For snug storage spaces, investing a dehumidifier is a great way to help get rid of moisture in the air.
- By clearing out the space before hand will allow for better accessibility and also reduces the risk of damage to your classic car.
- Rodents can cause damage to your car while it is tucked away. Implementing measures to deter rodents such as setting traps, will prevent any damage to your vehicle.
