Good evening,

I am in the military and we have a service that allows us to store vehicles while we deploy overseas. When I return to collect my car 3 years will have lapsed. I am very concerned about the condition of my vehicle and its ability to be immediately able for a cross-country drive to our next duty station. The storage service promises that they will start the car every week and keep it in a climate-controlled environment.

My questions are:
What will happen to my vehicle if they do not fulfill these promises?
What would be the first course of action after I receive the vehicle?
What can I expect from a vehicle that, worst case scenario, has not been started in 3 years.
What are the first items I should replace after I receive the car?

I am very appreciative of any help I may receive from this thread. Thank you for your time.

no need to post the same questions on multiple locations...
