We aim to look after your car or cars as welcome guests in our facility. These are our services that are included:
Discretion and confidentiality
We do not identify either you or that you have vehicles stored with us. Your vehicle(s) are stored discreetly behind closed doors within the units within the facility so that a casual visitor cannot see what is there. We operate a strict no photography rule at the facility. Note that the photos of identifiable cars on this website and other marketing belong to us or to family who have consented to them being photographed.
Check-in
We carry out a check-in inspection on all cars as they enter storage for our mutual benefit. We will suggest required work and/or maintenance if it is apparent.
Maintenance of batteries
We will connect up trickle chargers (essential on all modern cars and recommended even on older "pre-electronic" classics), and disconnect batteries if required. You are more than welcome to bring your own charger, but otherwise we will supply one as necessary.
Tyre maintenance
We will check tyres and pressures upon check-in. For longer term storage, we will over-inflate tyres to prevent flat spots developing and we can also roll cars forwards and back during storage for the same reason.
Liaison with mechanics and agents
We are happy to liaise with your mechanics and agents if you need to get servicing and work done to the cars, all to make your life easier.
Drying wet cars
We will make sure cars are dried before entering storage.
Cleaning and valeting
We do not provide cleaning or valeting at present but will arrange do so so upon request / when we have a demand to provide it.
Parking
If you are taking your car out for a bit of "exercise" or a longer journey off-Island, we are happy to provide free secure outside parking on site for your other car whilst you are away.
Insurance
We maintain business and public liability insurance but you are responsible for insuring your vehicle whilst it is with us (indeed this is checked upon check-in). We are also happy to provide details and specifications of the premises and facilities, and liaise with your insurers who underwrite such risks.
Vehicle access
Unless you have self-access for a car collection or group storage, access is 7 days a week during working hours 10am to 3pm, or outside of those hours by prior appointment. We do require some notice to make sure your vehicle is ready to go, and ideally you will give us 24 hours to do that. However, we should be able to manage shorter notice as there are staff on the site but who may be engaged with other duties.
Your motor oils and additive needs
And finally, through our sister business, CI Classic & Modern Oils, we can also supply oils and additives and other products which will further pamper your pride and joy whilst it is in storage! We certainly recommend putting a fuel life extender additive when you put your car into storage!
