What We Do

Long-term care for your special car

When you need to leave your car for months or even years at a time, it needs to be cared for so that it remains perfectly preserved.

At Racing Green Car Storage, we offer owners complete peace of mind so that when they place their vehicle with us for the long-term, we will care for it as if it were our own.

Our dehumidified facility perfectly maintains 55% relative humidity – the optimum environment for the long-term storage of cars. It prevents corrosion and is the perfect climate for the preservation of chrome, carbon-fibre, leather and plastics.

Before any car is stored with us, we inspect it throughout, record its condition, perform a thorough snow-foam valet and then dry it using our contactless blower. Then the tyres are correctly inflated to prevent flatspots, fluid levels are checked and noted, and final photography is recorded. Only then does your collector car enter our facility, where it is fitted with a smart battery cover and Racing Green branded soft-stretch car cover – sized to your specific vehicle.

Complete care

Daily monitoring and weekly checks

For long-term car storage, we also offer the option for clients’ cars to be fitted with a set of TyreDox – the latest in tyre-saving technology which helps prevent flatspots. TyreDox are a set of four tyre cushions, made using rubber from recycled tyres, and they help tyres up to 22inches in diameter and 355mm wide maintain a perfect shape.

We perform daily monitoring and weekly checks through the time a car is stored with us. The team at Racing Green Car Storage regularly rolls the vehicle to help tyres maintain their shape, and every client may choose to have their vehicle driven up to temperature once a month, as our insurance with market-leader Howden covers us for such use on the public road.

And when you’re away for all that time, you can leave us to take care of practical arrangements such as organising an MOT or visit to a marque specialist for work or routine servicing.

And finally, we present your car on-the-button for the next time you want to take to the road, or have it transported to an event or return from being abroad.

Carbon conscious

Sustainability

Racing Green is the UK’s only sustainable car storage provider.

We believe we have a responsibility to the environment. It’s why our facility is solar powered, and why we have harvested rainwater. But that’s not all…

Racing Green offsets the carbon emissions of every vehicle placed in our care. It means each car’s carbon footprint is effectively balanced, helping safeguard our hobby for the future.

Our partnership with Tree-V is structured around UK-based tree-planting sustainability initiatives.
Every Racing Green client receives a certificate confirming their car has been carbon balanced, and a peelable window vignette.

Testimonials

Join The Club

“The team at Racing Green have done a first-class job of caring for my widely varied collection of cars, taking care of vehicle transport, providing thorough reports and feedback and always being available for out-of-hours enquiries or visits.”

Mark S, Tunbridge Wells, Kent

“After an eight-year restoration, I was nervous about collecting and transporting my 1954 Aston Martin DB2/4 MKI ‘Lightweight’, but Oliver and James were the utmost professionals, meeting me off the ferry at 6am, getting the car safely home and being super company along the way!”

Richard H, Sevenoaks, Kent

“You guys make everything so easy. Like when I asked at admittedly short notice for my McLaren 570S to be made ready for a last-minute trip to Le Mans, for the 24-hour race and it was turned around in less than half a day.”

Robin H, Speldhurst, Kent
