A car expert has warned of the dangers of storing a car under cover in winter.
Speaking to the Regnum news agency, automotive expert Konstantin Ligachev advised drivers not to cover their cars in winter. According to him, modern cars are adapted to frost, and the shelter is not only useless in the fight against the cold, but can also attract the attention of intruders.
As the expert explained, under the cover it is more difficult to notice the theft of headlights and other car parts, especially if the owner does not use the car for a long time.
In winter, coverage does not play a special role. But when you lock your car for a long time, others have questions. It's covered - no one checks what's under every day. A month passes - someone comes, removes a flash or a part, and the owner doesn't even know
– noted Ligachev.
Instead, the expert recommended starting the car at least briefly every few days and driving it to warm up.
If the car will not move for a long time, then it is better to remove the battery and put it in a warm place - this is the best option,.
