Question 1

Can a car fit in a 10x10 storage unit?

Accepted Answer

No, on average a car is roughly 15 feet. Therefore we recommend a storage unit that is at least 20 feet long and 10 feet wide.

Question 2

How long can you leave a car in storage?

Accepted Answer

Although there is no limit to how long you can safely keep a car in storage, you will need to spark the battery about once a week to avoid it dying. If you are unable to do that, you are best to remove the battery from the car and safely store it separately. By doing that, you can expect to be able to safely store the car and battery for about 6-months. After that time, you run the risk of the battery dying.

Question 3

How long can a car be stored without being used?

Accepted Answer

If you are storing a car for a long time, it is recommended to remove the battery and store it safely to keep it from dying during storage. Otherwise the car should be run once so often to ensure the battery remains charged.

Question 4

Should you deflate tires when storing?

Accepted Answer

You do not need to deflate your tires when storing. It is far more important to make sure your tires are clean of debris and not in direct sunlight.
