Bringing Your Corvette or Classic Car Out of Long Term Storage

For many Corvette or classic car owners who have stored without proper storage preparation, there will come a time when you might want to bring your car out of storage and bring it back into proper working condition. Most situations involve cars that have sat for many years. You know it needs attention but are not exactly sure what to do or where to even start.

County Corvette can help you, no matter what the make or model of your classic car. We have a comprehensive procedure for evaluating your Corvette or classic car that has been sitting for a long period of time PRIOR TO restarting it.

We encourage you to do no more than re-inflate flat tires and see if the car can roll freely. From stale gas to locked brakes, there are many issues that arise. Attempting to start a car that has sat for years can often lead to engine damage and other serious issues.

Even if the car cannot roll or if you are unable to do much, we can handle the entire process - from winching it into our trailer and bringing it back to our facility for proper evaluation and safe restarting.

Once evaluated, we will discuss a plan to address your classic car's immediate needs for road worthiness, then tailor a quote to deal address any cosmetic needs you might want to consider or address.

On this classic car, for example, we found a rotted fuel line. If overlooked a hazardous situation could easily arise.

This car upon initial inspection had both rebound straps completely rotted. This could create a serious problem during driving.

A basic fluid change is always in order. Many times priming of the oil system is needed to prevent serious engine damage.

All areas of the braking system are carefully examined for wear and decay. Generally wheel cylinders and calipers are replaced.

Here a battery tray has met the end of its useful life. A new one is welded in place and the a new battery properly secured.

Careful inspection of wiring throughout is critical as rodents can cause major damage that undetected can be very problematic and even dangerous.
