As the temperatures drop and the roads start to ice over, many Nova Scotians are preparing to store their vehicles for the winter. Whether it’s a classic car, motorcycle, convertible, or summer truck, proper winter storage helps protect your vehicle from harsh weather, corrosion, and unnecessary wear.
At Metro Self-Storage, we make it easy and affordable to keep your vehicle safe this winter — with 25% OFF vehicle storage at select locations across Nova Scotia from November 1, 2025, until April 1, 2026.
Winter weather can be hard on vehicles. Salt, moisture, and freezing temperatures cause rust, battery drain, and engine wear. Storing your vehicle indoors during the colder months helps preserve its condition and value, so it’s ready to hit the road again in the spring.
To make sure your car stays in top shape during its stay, here are a few professional storage tips:
1. Fill the Gas Tank
A full tank helps prevent condensation from forming inside the fuel system. Add a quality fuel stabilizer to keep the gas fresh and prevent corrosion during storage.
2. Disconnect the Battery
Disconnect the negative terminal or use a battery maintainer to prevent battery drain. This will help your car start up easily when you’re ready to drive again.
3. Wash and Wax Before Storage
Clean your vehicle thoroughly — including the undercarriage — to remove dirt and road salt. Apply a coat of wax to protect the paint and finish.
4. Check and Top Up Fluids
Make sure oil, coolant, and brake fluids are at proper levels. Fresh oil helps prevent contaminants from damaging your engine over the winter.
5. Inflate Tires to the Recommended Pressure
Cold temperatures can cause tire pressure to drop. Inflate your tires to the manufacturer’s recommended level to avoid flat spots.
6. Use a Quality Car Cover
If your storage space isn’t fully enclosed, use a breathable car cover to protect your vehicle from dust and moisture.
