Car Covers For Indoor Storage
The idea of placing a cover over a car which you are storing indoors must, to those who do not have a classic or prestige vehicle, seem like a strange sort of going over the top. For most people who are fortunate enough to have a garage at home it would seem sufficient to simply park a car in it, as the garage itself provides protection and security. This is certainly true, but really only effective or applicable for cars which are used on a fairly frequent basis. In cases where a car won’t be used often – maybe less than once a week or even once a month – then a specially designed indoor cover is a highly advantageous layer of protection for your vehicle.

Why do car batteries have a short life?
One of the most frequent comments you will hear from motorists who have a few years of experience on the roads is that they don’t seem to make car batteries as well as they once did. While once it was the case that a car battery would seem to last as long as the natural lifespan of the vehicle, today they will usually only give, at best, five years of service. At face value this seems strange, as virtually every other aspect of a car has become more efficient. On closer investigation, however, it becomes clear that shorter battery lifespans is not due to the way they are made – it comes down to what they are used for. Continue reading

Another important element in retaining value is to limit the mileage. In this respect, professional car transportation has frequently proved to be of great value to car owners. Continue reading

Modern electronics and battery health
Many modern vehicles have sophisticated electronics to ensure drivers and passengers have an excellent experience. On-board computers are also beneficial when it comes to maintenance and repairs because mechanics can connect to them and find out a huge amount about the car very quickly. The electrics provide an array of benefits, but they will make the battery work much harder to provide the power to run the systems. This means it is more important than ever to ensure it is healthy.
