Windrush, Ultimate Car Storage

Your car, in the safest of hands

Secure, climate controlled storage in Central London and the Cotswolds, cared for by a full-time team who treat every car as their own.

Kept from view

Your car is covered the day it arrives, to protect its privacy as well as its paintwork. Soft, stretchable and breathable, and supplied by us at no extra charge.

Ready the moment you are

Its own battery conditioner, checked every week, and its engine run up to temperature every 60 days, so it is on the button whenever you want it.

With the space it deserves

A dedicated bay, never crammed in, in a building dehumidified to 55% relative humidity, staffed full time and watched 24/7/365.

You worked hard for it. We look after it as if it were ours

A car like yours is years of work, and often a piece of your life. When you hand us the keys it joins a collection cared for by a full-time team, in air its paint and leather were made for, behind a door with no name on it.

You will hear from us when it arrives, and whenever anything needs your say. The rest of the time, you need not think about it at all.

Windrush Car Storage

The day it arrives

Before your car is accepted into storage it passes through a twelve-stage induction, every stage recorded, so we know its condition as well as you do.

  1. Photographing a car's condition on arrival

    01

    Condition photographed

    High resolution photographs of each car inside and out, upon entry and exit from our care, for total peace of mind.

  2. Recording a classic Aston Martin on arrival

    02

    Unique ID assigned

    Each vehicle is treated as an individual. Each is given a Windrush internal ID which enables efficient and effective management of every vehicle in our care.

  3. A protective cover fitted over the steering wheel

    03

    Interior protection applied

    Seat, steering wheel and floor mat protection applied to protect and respect your property at all times.

  4. Hand-drying a car after its wash

    04

    Carefully washed

    Best practice cleaning techniques used at all times to maintain the condition of any vehicle type or value. Three bucket wash method, pH neutral products.

  5. A battery health reading taken at the headlamp

    05

    Fluid & battery checked

    Digitally analysed on entry and exit to ensure every vehicle is on the button and reliable when you next need it.

  6. Setting tyre pressures on a classic Aston Martin

    06

    Tyre pressures increased

    Preventing flat spotting of the tyres whilst in storage.

  7. Polishing paintwork by hand

    07

    Allowed to fully air dry

  8. Checking rear lights before handover

    08

    Brakes applied

    Following the 24hr drying period the brakes are applied to remove any wash flash rust.

    Your car is in. We let you know, and we keep letting you know.

While it rests, even the air is looked after

Every storage area is dehumidified to 55% relative humidity, the perfect environment for preservation.

At 55% RH exposed metal will not rust, yet the air is not so dry that leather or tyres dry out. Temperature and humidity are logged automatically every hour, 24/7/365, so we can preserve any vehicle for any length of time.

We do not offer non-dehumidified storage, because we know vehicles degrade in it.

The rhythm of its care

  1. Daily

    All storage areas inspected minimum twice daily. Walk around checks of all facilities to check security and environment.

  2. Every 7 days

    Battery charger status and drip tray inspected.

  3. Every 60 days

    Fluids and pressures checked, engine started, vehicle run up to temperature on an internal rolling road to lightly exercise mechanical and electrical components. Any defects noted.

Can clients leave their daily drivers with us when using their cars from storage?

Once a client has placed a car with us, that space is theirs to use as they see fit and we will very happily look after a daily driver to our usual high standards while their storage car is being used.
