Car storage in Woking

McLaren assembles its road cars on the edge of Woking, and the town's car culture punches well above its size as a result — this corner of Surrey, wedged between the A3 and the M25, holds one of the densest concentrations of interesting machinery in the country, with Brooklands, the birthplace of British motorsport, ten minutes away at Weybridge. Storage provision reflects the clientele: climate controlled units dominate the local listings, enclosed transport is on offer for owners who prefer the car moved on a trailer rather than driven, and Car Keepers has built a particularly strong review record among the operators here.

Surrey storage tends to command Surrey prices, so pin down what the routine actually involves before you sign: how often batteries on trickle charge are checked, whether tyre pressures are maintained, and whether the car is periodically moved to save its tyres and seals. Just as important, ask how access works — a stored car you cannot get at on a sunny Saturday morning defeats the point.
