Secure car storage recommendation Surrey / West Sussex

[Glass_Half_Full]

I'm looking to store a car over the winter.
Can anyone recommend a secure storage facility near to Dorking please?
There seem to be several near me, they all seem to offer the same thing, but id like to know the vehicle is indeed secure and looked after.
Thanks

I'd recommend inspecting the premises personally first. There are some very different ideas on what constitutes 'safe and secure' storage. Look at the building itself, is it wind and weather proof, and more importantly rodent proof.
Some have people on site every day, some not. Some warm up the car every month and move the vehicle to prevent flat spots. Most, but not all have CTek chargers for every car - check the fire prevention arrangements. What does the building security look like - alarm type, physical barriers at the entrances etc and finally location, is it remote? And finally, how much notice do you need to give to get your car out. I use a storage facility and just let mine know a day or two in advance for pick up or drop off.

Prices seem to vary greatly, not necessarily the most expensive being the best. Anywhere between £100 and £300 a month round where I live in the south west.

I haven't contacted anyone yet, an internet search shows around £200/month

Thank you, exactly my concern. I'm hoping someone actually uses a storage facility they can recommend, so that I can avoid the dodgy ones.
I'm intending to rebuild a tractor engine this winter, and need to make room in the garage .
Secure storage seems to be a solution, but I'd like a really good one where I feel my car is safe and being looked after.

Thanks, that looks like 'gold standard' storage
