On arrival your car will be put through a 7 stage acceptance procedure before being allowed into the facility:

1. Vehicle condition will be recorded & supported by photographs.
2. A unique id number will be issued, keys tagged, a record started & you will be issued with a receipt for your car. Any special points will be noted such as your normal tyre pressures, what oil you use, mot details etc.
3. Your car will be hand washed & dried, the inside vacuumed, and a temporary driver’s floor mat positioned. Owner’s mats will be placed in the boot.
4. Tyre pressures will be increased to prevent flat spotting.
5. A battery health check will be carried out, water/ante freeze and oil levels checked, topped up & rectified as necessary.
6. Your car will be started and brakes used in order to remove disc rust caused by the washing stage.
7. The car will then be moved to the main storage facility next door.
