    Default Do you use a garage or parked outside?

    Do you park your car in a garage or outside the home?

    Mine is outside in all the weathers but many who have a garage fill them with junk.

    So if you could would you home your motor or still leave it outside?

    I would if the garage was wide enough to open the doors not like many new style homes were you can drive in but not get out!!

    Do you think a car kept in a garage will run any better start better than one kept out in all weathers?

    Sure the paint work will be smarter no sun uv rays and bird poo & it may start better in minus temeperatures when it's warmer inside i guess.

    Both my Signum and the other halfs Veccy are on the driveway at the side of the house, but they are also under a carport.

    Even during heacy snow, niether of te cars get any on them. Plus when you go out and start them in colder weather, the temp sensor on the car always shows a higher amount than when you take the car out onto the road.

    Mines always parked in the garage, everyone around here has a garage but most of them just fill them with junk and then spend ages scraping ice off their cars in winter. It doesn't make sense to me, I just get in my car and drive off. Simples.

    Is your garage big enough to walk around the car?

    And kitted out with tools.???

    My days of working on cars are well behind me, not that I did alot anyway just basic stuff. I can only walk down one side of the car, as for tools they could be anywhere after my dads been mooching about in there, I'm forever looking for stuff that he's moved and he can't remember where he's put it. lol.

    You might change your mind if you look at the small print on your insurance terms and conditions.I was browsing through mine the other day,as I am due to renew in January,when I spotted some notation by some clauses and one of them stated that the vehicle was not covered whilst it was garaged!!!!.
    I couldn't believe it and had to read it again to make sure I had got it right.
    It was.The only explanation I could think of was that you would have difficulty seeing someone in your car whilst it is in the garage.
    Seems strange to me,I'm with Zurich Connect,(but won't be in January!!),their renewal premium has gone up by 30%,so it's Go compare for me. FELIXX.
