There are a lot of reasons a driver wants to store their car for a long time.
It could be expectation of bad weather and iffy driving; an extended vacation; or military service; according to edmunds.com.
If you have to be away from your car for awhile, edmunds.com says you should store it properly. Just leaving it to hang around on the street could result in a dead battery, a damaged engine, or ruined tires.
The experts at Tracy’s Tire Pros offer these steps to storing your car:
- Keep your car covered.
- Clean it up before putting your car in storage.
- Change the oil.
- Top off the tank.
- Keep the car battery charged.
- Avoid using the parking brake or allowing flat spots to develop on the tires.
- Make sure you maintain your vehicle insurance.
