Heading South (or East) for the Winter? Keep Your Vehicle Safe Until You’re Back.

Every year, thousands of part-time San Diego residents head to warmer or family-friendly destinations for the winter. Whether you’re a snowbird escaping colder climates, a retiree visiting family, or a professional working remotely elsewhere, one big question always comes up:

What should you do with your car while you’re gone?

Leaving it parked on the street or in your garage for months invites weather damage, theft, or unwanted tickets. At AAAA Auto Storage, we specialize in long-term, month-to-month car storage that keeps your vehicle safe, clean, and ready when you return in spring.

Why Seasonal Car Storage Makes Sense in San Diego

Even though San Diego enjoys mild weather, vehicles left idle for long periods can suffer in coastal conditions. Salt in the air, humidity, and debris can corrode paint and metal surfaces — especially if you live near the beach.

By choosing professional vehicle storage, you protect your investment from:

Rust and corrosion caused by salt and moisture
Battery drain and flat spots on tires from sitting idle
Vandalism or theft common with street parking
City parking restrictions and HOA citations

With AAAA Auto Storage, you get peace of mind all winter long.

Before You Leave: Tips for Storing Your Vehicle This Winter

A few simple steps help keep your car in top condition while in storage:

Wash and wax your car to remove dirt and salt residue.
Inflate tires to recommended pressure.
Top off fluids and use fuel stabilizer.
