Winter Storage Clinic Update!

September 21, 2009

Where the hell did summer go?!

We almost drowned in June, July was meh, and we had a week of blazing hot sun in mid August and the next thing I know is that I am getting up early to let my car warm up; ok not really, but temps. are dropping fast.

Either way I still had a great summer even if the weather had its own agenda.  

We here at Aston Martin of New England are getting ready to batten down for that frigid bite from old man winter.   In case you haven’t heard we are putting on a clinic to help store your motorcar for comfy winter hibernation.  Saturday October 3rd from 9am to 3pm is when all our resources will be available in an open house forum to fill you in on what Aston Martin and Lotus suggests you do.

Besides our technicians showing you the ins and outs of winter car care we have also just added a four wheel alignment check only, on a first come first serve basis. 

So come on down, talk some shop and meet fellow motoring enthusiasts.  It’s gonna be great!

A big NO on both of those suggestions. Over inflate the tires is the best way, about 50psi. DO NOT IDLE your vehicle while it sits during the winter. This does the opposite affect of helping your car rest easy. Idling the engine for a "bit" actually drains the battery and puts unnecessary condensation in the exhaust system and on the engine cylinder walls. If its a nice day, drive it! Enjoy it! Then wash it.

Hi - just have a quick question - for my Vantage, do you recommend placing it up on blocks for winter, or leaving it on the floor (maybe over-inflate the tires a bit?) Also, it is best to start it a few times during the winter - let it run a while - or not? Thanks very much.
