The benefits of climate-controlled vehicle storage

2 December 2025

There are many, many reasons why our customers trust us with their cars and motorcycles. Whether housing your prestige vehicle or regular runaround, you’ll be greeted by a discreet location, secure facility with 24-hour monitoring and a team who is passionate about taking care of your pride and joy.

Our Northamptonshire based, purpose built facility is also climate controlled, here’s why that should matter to you…

Keep rust at bay

Every vehicle is vulnerable to rust formation and corrosion, but some are more susceptible than others. Classic cars for instance have age going against them, while certain vehicle makes and models are less corrosion resistant.

Here at SCRACS however, we simply don’t take the chance. Using climate control technology, we create exactly the right humidity levels to prevent rust from forming in the first place. More importantly, these humidity levels are kept stable around the clock to stop rust becoming a problem for you.

Protect your paintwork

Your car or motorcycle’s bodywork will also benefit from the consistent temperatures and humidity levels a climate-controlled facility makes possible. Fluctuations can cause no end of damage, with cracking, peeling, brittleness, fading and an uneven finish all caused by temperature changes and inadequate ventilation.

Preserve what’s within

The interior of your car is prone to cracking and fading too. From your dashboard to your upholstery and trims, your interior won’t be what it was when exposed to excess vapour or extreme temperatures. Climate control ensures there is no such damage, providing conditions that preserve and protect rather than damage and deteriorate.

Take care of the essentials

The essential components sitting under the hood of your vehicle can suffer without the right conditions.

The battery of your car or motorcycle is particularly vulnerable to fluctuating temperatures and moisture levels. Too much heat and humidity can cause sulfation, a corrosive process that reduces your battery’s performance and lifespan. Too little heat and humidity has its own damaging effects, including poor output and failure.

A storage solution for all

The right storage conditions are important for every car and motorcycle. This is why all vehicles - including classic, vintage, sports, prestige, seasonal use and investment models – can benefit from our climate controlled facility.

By protecting your vehicle from the extremes of temperature and humidity changes, we can keep it in pristine condition, no matter how long its stay with us!
