If you're not driving nowadays and your car could be sitting for a while !
I noticed that my car brakes start to make squeaking noise since I limited my driving to once a week for grocery.

What other steps would you take ?

 

[mikees3]

Pump tires to max psi to avoid flat spots in tires

hook up battery up to maintainer or remove battery from car to prevent draining battery

Add fuel stabilizer to keep gas in good condition

wash and wax.. store under car cover for protection

I leave my KIA sitting "as is" for up to 5 weeks at a time. It always starts the very first time, even if left unplugged and it was -40............

FWIW starting your car does nothing to help the battery, or yoru vehicle. It is actually detrimental in cold weather. You need to drive the vehicle for at least 45-60 minutes while under load (lights and A/C or heater on as well) to charge the battery and properly heat cycle the drivetrain in cold weather.

You can also unhook the battery to avoid drainage.

Thx. I'll unplug the battery of the car I never use anymore.

Or take out the tires and let the car sits on concrete blocks.

All good advice. I’ve overlooked most of these points. We’ve been using my wife’s car.

I think I’m gonna start mine up and go for a drive around the block tomorrow AM.

I go for a drive everyday at night. It's shitty being at home!
