Access is available during working hours, Monday to Friday and by appointment only at weekends. Should you wish to temporally extract and use the car at any time during its storage period then a minimum of 48 hours notice is required before collection. The car will be prepared before extraction and then methodically checked in on its return.
We ask that vehicles enter our storage clean and decontaminated of road silt. Both to maintain the cleanliness of the facility and preserve the condition of the vehicle. A charge is applied for cars requiring a full valet.
