At H.R. Owen, we know that your car means so much more to you than a vehicle to get from A to B. Whether your personal taste is for classic cars, luxury cars, supercars or hypercars, or possibly a combination of all of these, we know that your car represents a masterpiece of passion, performance and precision.
Similarly, when we designed and built The Vault, we wanted to create a storage solution for the world’s best cars that transcends all traditional car storage facilities by providing every possible service that owners, collectors and aficionados might request.
That’s why at The Vault, we don’t just protect your car, we pamper it.
Our comprehensive suite of services includes luxurious client facilities for you to relax or work in, valeting and detailing to prepare your car for that special event, plus servicing and maintenance to keep it in perfect health. We also provide insurance, finance and a buying service for those who may wish to change their car. In addition, we offer transportation and can even arrange photography to create exclusive images to capture and record your automotive pride and joy for all time.
Providing a finish beyond perfection
We are quite sure that you don’t need us to tell you how much automotive technology has evolved over the past decades. Where once, not that very long ago, 200bhp may have represented a rather rapid car, now, 2000bhp is in reach.
By the same standard, the technology, materials and procedures available to keep your car clean and sparkling with a concours-winning lustre have transformed out of all recognition. Certainly, the idea of tackling a cherished car with a bucket of soapy water and a sponge is a complete anathema to any enthusiast.
That’s why at The Vault, we can call upon the most experienced, exacting and professional car valeting and detailing teams. They are masters at elevating the visual appearance of cars to the same level that global automotive manufactures demand when giving a new vehicle its debut at international motor shows.
Such professionals also offer a service that goes far beyond vehicle aesthetics. Anything is possible, from full paint protection film (PPF) applications, ceramic coatings, and specialised interior treatments designed to bring out the very best in materials such as Alcantara, carbon fibre, and hand-stitched leather.
This meticulous approach ensures that not only does your car look its best, it is also protected against the potential micro ravages of stone chips, swirl marks and even solar damage.
Capturing automotive art
As every automotive enthusiast knows, certain cars of all ages, from Victorian-era so called horseless carriages to the very latest hypercar are eminently capable of transcending the role of mere transport tools to become appreciated as works of art. And those that achieve this status have the power to captivate and beguile their custodians, even when they are sitting stationery with their power sources silent.
For those that appreciate such things, there is exquisite pleasure to be taken from simply standing and looking at a car, casting your eye over every contour, examining every detail and savouring the overall form.
And what better way to capture the essence of your car than through the lens of a professional photographer? We are pleased to work with the very best in the business, many of whom regularly have their creative work featured in the leading car titles.
We would be pleased to commission a photographer on your behalf, working with you to create a brief to capture bespoke images, and video footage if you require, either in a studio setting or a location or event of your choosing.
Make sure every mile is a pleasure
Anyone who uses a fitness tracker knows that not all steps are equal. And anyone who drives a classic car, a luxury car, a supercar or a hypercar is acutely aware that not all miles are equal.
We know that you want to spend time in your car enjoying every single mile you drive and that you have no desire to accumulate unnecessary additional miles, especially on exceptionally rare and highly valuable models.
That’s why we have created a transport division at The Vault, dedicated to discretely, safely and meticulously transporting your car to wherever and whenever you need it to be. Whether it is a holiday home, an event or a favourite driving road, you can trust The Vault transport team to deliver and collect the car.
And beyond pure transportation, we can also provide crew members to look after your car on events and driving tours, so you that when you return to it the next morning, you will find it fully fuelled (or charged), mechanically checked and fettled and meticulously cleaned for another day of high-quality miles.
Keeping Your Car In Perfect Condition
 At The Vault, we offer expert maintenance and care tailored specifically to your vehicle’s needs – whether it’s a classic car, luxury car, supercar, or hypercar. We provide a comprehensive range of services – from routine oil changes and seasonal checks to winter wheel and tyre swaps and storage.
Our on-site technicians are highly experienced, fully certified and trained to the highest manufacturer and industry standards. They have full access to the latest, cutting-edge technology. Our rigorous internal processes ensure the highest standards of quality for every job, regardless of its size or scope.
Naturally, at The Vault, we use only genuine manufacturer components to maintain your car’s performance, aesthetic integrity, provenance and value. So, whether you need a quick catch-up ahead of a drive-out, a major service, or a full, detailed restoration, rest assured, we will keep your car running to the highest possible standards.
Taking Care Of The Paperwork
At The Vault, our Concierge Service Team is dedicated to addressing all your requirements.
Our comprehensive suite of services includes arranging insurance for your car and ensuring you are fully covered wherever you drive. If your driving adventures are set to take you beyond UK shores, we can also arrange roadside cover packages, along with any travel permits and any country-specific paperwork required.
We’re here to help, too, if you are considering adding to your collection or perhaps selling your car and replacing it with another model. We offer bespoke financial services tailored to your specific requirements, as well as a dedicated buying service.
As part of the wider H.R. Owen family, which holds a portfolio of thirteen of the most desirable automotive brands on the planet, plus our Specialist Car division, we possess exceptional knowledge and enthusiasm for the classic car, luxury car, supercar, and hypercar sectors. And we are always more than happy to have a chat to discuss any vehicle that you are considering.
