Occasional cars are put in storage for periods of time and sometimes it can be tricky to get them running again after a long period of dormancy, particularly if proper storage procedures were neglected. Depending upon the length of time and the conditions of storage it may or may not be necessary to perform major mechanical operations. This article is geared only towards the medium term, (less than a half year) of storage in good conditions (covered, not exposed to animals/elements).

An important thing to remember is that whenever the break system of a car is opened up it will be necessary to bleed air out of the system. When you replace break components that are connected to the break lines (so things such as calipers, wheel cylinders, break lines, or the master cylinder) it is likely that air will get into the system as you need to disconnect the break lines to service these components.
