In Glen Allen, VA, we don’t just “put cars away” for winter—we prepare them for survival. Every chrome line, every stitch of leather in your classic car is a time capsule. Salt from one late-autumn drive can turn to rust by February. That’s why, before the air cools and dampens, we strip away road grit, wax the body like it’s going under museum glass, and slide a breathable cover over the finish. Tires are over-inflated just enough to prevent flat spots, and the battery is kept alive on a tender to ensure spring starts aren’t a gamble.
Storage Is Only Half the Battle
A locked garage isn’t a forcefield. We’ve seen hail dent roofs in minutes and high winds turn branches into javelins. Comprehensive coverage steps in for those “you’ve got to be kidding me” moments. If your classic spends most months under wraps, we tailor that protection to match reality—guarding against fire, theft, and storm debris—without paying for coverage you don’t need. Virginia’s weather is unpredictable, and your policy should be flexible enough to keep up.
Our Glen Allen Checklist for the Off-Season
Photograph everything—not just for insurance records, but for yourself, so you remember every detail. Crack the windows a finger’s width to allow air circulation. Slip desiccant packs in the cabin to keep mildew at bay. Roll the car a few inches every month to prevent tire fatigue. And never, ever park directly on concrete—that cold, porous surface drains life from rubber faster than you think.
We know classic cars aren’t just transportation—they’re family heirlooms on wheels. Let Everett Insurance in Glen Allen, VA, help you pair smart storage habits with coverage that truly fits your life. Call us before the first frost, and we’ll get your seasonal strategy locked in.
