Away for 2, 6, 9 or 12 months? Your car shouldn’t notice.
Term-based storage in a purpose-built facility in the heart of Greater Manchester. Tyre pressures managed, a walk-round check every day, dehumidified bays monitored at 55% RH, so a car that stands for a year drives out like it stood for a week.
Modern electronics drain a battery in weeks; a year unconditioned usually kills it. We connect an automatic conditioner, our most-booked add-on, before the cover goes on.
Months on one contact patch flat-spots tyres. Pressures are raised on arrival and checked through the stay.
Uncontrolled humidity works into interiors, looms and brightwork all winter. Our dehumidified bays are monitored at 55% RH.
Discs corrode and handbrakes bind on untouched cars. Part of the lay-up, part of the daily checks.
Seals crack in swinging temperatures. A stable bay and a breathable cover slow the clock right down.
In a lock-up, problems compound for months unseen. Here, someone who knows cars looks at yours every day.
Three months, or three years: priced straight.

Every stay has a story. Pick yours.
Between houses, renovation parking, a season away, project cars waiting their slot. Short enough to be easy, cared for like it’s staying years.
The winter lay-up, a work placement, half a year abroad. Our most-booked term, in over salt season, out for spring.
Longer contracts and deployments, cars queued for restoration. Fixed-term rate, priority bay, condition updates on request.
Collections in rotation, owners overseas, estates and investments. Several cars have lived here for years, that’s the standard we keep.
Not a parking space. A standing service.
