Storage Seasonal use of Automobile

songkrai · 07-18-2016, 06:01 AM

We have some who leave a vehicle up here in the Lakes Region. On a seasonal basis.
Another/extra/2nd vehicle kept in garage.

What do these seasonal people do if anything with a long term storage of a car truck SUV ?

...I know of one person who keeps a car in their garage here over the winter while they're in FL. These folks have someone who does a weekly house check and as part of that, the house-checker starts the car, (outside of the garage!), and lets it run for 15 mins or so and may go up and down the driveway a couple times.

I store my car at the same place that stores my boat. They have indoor (cement floors) , disconnect battery and remove fluid from window washer system. Ready for pick-up when I return to the lake in May. I have found it very reasonable cost wise.
