hey guys that time is coming to put our cars up. i will be heartbroken for the next 5 months im just wondering what you guys do to ur car before u store it, change fluids, antifreeze, carpet under the tires ne thing. this is the first time that i will have to store a car and what do u guys think bout car covers, its gonna be in a garage but should i throw a cover on it too

Thanx

 

Why are you not driving it the gas prices are so sweet now? Just get some winter tires! LOL! I dont think you need to do anything to it at all. It will probably be OK anyways... May be if too cold get the battery out and take it home, and make sure the antifreeze is still good... May be wax it once, I would say no cover...

 

Just check all your fluids. If your almost due for an oil change go ahead and change it now. Fill your gas tank so theres not much room for moisture and unhook the battery. On the nice days try to take it out of the garage and start it every other week to keep everything in the engine well lubricated. Unless your garage is really dirty I wouldnt worry about a car cover.

 

fill the tank up and put fuel stabilizer in as well. Stabil is good stuff. What my dad does with his camaro and corvette is put the stabil in then let the car idle a so some can get into the lines and where ever else fuel will collect. disconnect the battery, but try to start twice or more a month so it can stay lubbed. try to keep as much moisture out of where you are storing it as possible. we sometimes run a dehumidifier, but i live in a wet area. keepin it covered doesnt hurt either

 

aight thanx sounds good, have any of you heard of putting carpet under the tires while you store a car. My dad does this for his trans am and motorcycles. never really knew why tho he said the cement will absorb moisture or sumthing like that

 

stabil in the tank and lines, oil change, check the fluids, disconnected battery, i throw a cover on mine, and some moisture absorbing packet deals inside just in case...ive also heard that putting dryer sheets in places like tailpipes and anywhere that a mouse might be able to get into will keep them away because they dont like the smell..mines been sitting in our garage for the past two weeks but will soon make its way to its winter home in a guys storage shed....mine doesnt get started from the day i put it in till the day i get it out...which is usualy 4+ months at least..sucks living in a state with so much salt usage on the roads.

 

I think the carpet under the tires is so its not sitting on a hard surface without movingfor a long time
