What Should You Expect from Classic and Exotic Car Storage?

Chelle HonikerJuly 30, 2022

## Overview

Selecting an appropriate storage facility for a prized automobile requires careful consideration beyond basic amenities. Not all storage facilities are the same, and understanding the key differentiators is essential for protecting your valuable investment.

Climate Control

Premium car storage demands more than standard climate management. While generic self-storage facilities claim climate control, they cannot guarantee optimal conditions as temperatures fluctuate when units move in and out. The Asylum's state-of-the-art HVAC system maintains consistent environmental conditions year-round with onsite staff monitoring systems continuously.

Security Standards

Comprehensive security includes 24/7 gated access with restricted entry to owners and approved personnel only. The facility should not double as a multi-use warehouse or repair shop with third-party vendors, as this creates unknown access points. The Asylum restricts vendor entry to in-house staff or owner-requested services, maintaining full facility control across its property.

Concierge Services

Professional vehicle access involves gated drop-off and pickup under protected cover. Upon return, concierge staff conduct video inspections and upload documentation to owner accounts, eliminating sketchy parking lot scenarios.

Infrastructure Protection

Essential safeguards include 24/7 surveillance via 4K HD cameras, fire detection systems, and flood protection. Facility ownership matters—rental properties may lack comprehensive protective infrastructure.

Conclusion

Asking these critical questions ensures owners make informed decisions protecting their automotive investments.
