LONG TERM VEHICLE STORAGE
Do you have a project vehicle you need to store away long term or is your classic ready to be packed away for winter?
It can be a daunting task deciding on a suitable storage solution for your classic any time of year. Some of the common questions running through our minds when it comes to storing our own vehicles are:
- Will it be dry?
- What are the humidity levels like in the storage facility?
- Is there ample ventilation?
- Will anyone check on my vehicle on a regular basis?
- Can I access my vehicle when it suits?
The Classic Hideaway specialises in long term vehicle storage for your classic or prestige vehicles.
With over 30 years’ experience caring for & storing our own personal collections, it is our main aim to make sure your vehicle is given the same level of care as if it were at your own home.
Your vehicle is kept within our secure, climate-controlled units. We monitor the temperature and humidity of the air using specialist equipment and our state-of-the-art NACOSS approved CCTV systems allow the company to access to vehices at any time of day.
We encourage our prospective clients to contact us via message or phone to discuss individual needs. We are happy to answer any questions you have about what to expect from our storage facility, alleviate any concerns and help you understand the storage process.
