Storage is where cars quietly deteriorate.
A car left alone for six months does not stay the same car. Batteries flatten, tyres flat-spot, seals dry, damp finds its way in, and nobody notices until you turn the key. Vehicle-care services attach to a booking so that someone is actually responsible.
Vehicle-care services
Battery care
A maintainer fitted and monitored for the whole term, so the car starts when you come for it. The single most common storage failure, and the easiest to prevent.
Widely available
Monthly vehicle check
A visual inspection against a fixed checklist — fluids, tyres, visible damage, dampness, rodent signs — recorded against your booking.
Widely available
Monthly photo report
Current photographs of your car, taken this month, sent to you. Not a message saying everything is fine.
Selected locations
Tyre pressure check
Pressures checked and corrected to your specified figures, which matters over a long term far more than most owners expect.
Selected locations
Start and run
Only where it is appropriate for the vehicle and only with your written authorisation. Some cars benefit; many classics do not.
Selected locations
Car cover
A breathable indoor cover fitted correctly — supplied by you or by the host.
Widely available
Wash and detailing
Preparation before collection, or scheduled detailing during a long term, through the host or a vetted partner.
Selected locations
Paint protection
Ceramic coating and paint protection through partner detailers, arranged around your storage term.
Partner network — planned
Vehicle pickup
Collection of the vehicle from your home or another location at the start of the term.
Selected locations
Enclosed transport
Enclosed single or multi-car transport for valuable, low or non-running vehicles, including interstate.
Partner network — planned
Service coordination
Your car taken to an authorised service centre and returned to storage, with the invoice passed through to you.
Selected locations
Registration coordination
Inspection and registration renewal coordinated where it is legally and operationally appropriate.
Planned
Pre-sale preparation
Detailing, photography and presentation when a stored car is going to market.
Planned
Consignment referral
Referral to a consignment or auction partner if you decide to sell from storage.
Planned
Services attach to the booking, not to a separate account.

- Billed with the monthly amount
- Recorded against the vehicle
- Add or remove any time
Hosts: services are how a good space earns more.
Fitting a maintainer and sending four photographs a month is not difficult, and it is the difference between a bay and a service. It is also what moves a listing toward Vault.
