Good day,
Does anyone have a good recommendation for a quality car cover for a black 1LE. Seems like you only have to look at the paint wrong and it scratches or swirls. I am going to put the car in storage over the winter and I want it covered for the 4-5 months.
Never stored a car before, will I need a battery booster to start it or should I drop by monthly and run the engine for a while.
Also, will it hurt the Goodyear's to not be in a heated environment, (probably have 3-6 days of -20 F here in WI over the winter and probably not get over freezing a dozen times in 4 months.
I can get an individual new UN-heated storage unit for $115 a month or put it into a heated warehouse for $125 parked among 300+ cars with the vendor having me sign off to "NO Responsibility" for "ANY damages" that happen over the 4-5 month time, and they have the right to move the car around "when needed" for the duration?
I hope some of you will have some input please.
Thank you

I have a Dustop from Covercraft. Really like the quality and works fantastic. Fits great too. Only bad thing is it only comes in an ugly beige color, but other than that it's great.

I would not leave it in the warehouse, who knows it may even get moved outside at times anyways, not to mention people are careless.
I have a 15 1le and yes those goodyears are not meant for the winter and very sensitive to cold weather. however, not a 100% sure, but I believe as long as the car is not driven tires should hold up fine in freezing temperatures inside an un-heated garage but don't quote me on that, maybe someone else can chime in on that.
Good luck bud!

Yes it absolutely can hurt the goodyears to be exposed to that kind of cold even for short periods of time. My best suggestion would be get some quality jack stands and store the car on those and find a nice cozy corner in your house to store the tires, or get some cheap wheels/tires to put on while in storage.

Battery tender - yes.

Indoor storage - check for soft cover, Chevy sells both indoor and outdoor.

Tires - uh oh! Supposedly DRIVING on the cold tires causes cracks but your case is a looong period of below recommended temps. Maybe find some cheap wheels and tires just for storage that will clear the brakes.

I wouldn't sign off on "no liability whatsoever," that doesn't sound like a reasonable contract.

I have a factory outdoor cover in red.. $125 plus shipping if you want it.

Great idea, hadn't thought of that, easy enough to do, already have the stands, just need to get 4 jack pads. Thank You Much!
