While we often think of oil changes or other maintenance that needs to be done after a certain mileage, leaving your car sitting for longer than usual can lead to problems and high repair costs if you don’t maintain your systems. By taking the following steps, you can protect your investment so that it will perform for years to come.
Don’t Leave it On Too Long.
Try not to leave the car for more than two weeks. Run the machine for at least 20 minutes at a time.
Keep Your Battery Charged.
If the car has been parked for too long, the battery may not be working at full capacity. If you know you won’t be driving the car for a week or more, connect the battery to a charger that plugs the battery into a standard electrical outlet to keep the battery charged. This is a great opportunity for owners of high-end sports cars.
