Where to store Land Rover in Uruguay?

At present I am in Argentina with my Land Rover Defender. Between January 5th and approximately May 14th next year, I need to leave the vehicle in Uruguay. Can anyone please suggest a totally reliable and trustworthy place to park it for this period? Near Colonia would be better (but not essential) as I have to cross from there to Buenos Aires.


If recommending somewhere, please provide, if possible, an email address for contact.


Thanks.

Storing at Kavin's garage

Hi
I have left my bike today at Kevin's father workshop until Christmas. Well it's not a just a garage it's moto sanctuary rather with custom Harley with 6L engine (no mistake in cc)
When you read newspapers on the wall about Kevin's father (Willy) acheivements (on bike and bicycle) you will feel so small
From toaday I'm ready to call him Master Willy

WARNING !

We left our van last july near Colonia de Sacramento, at hotel Suizo, one of the wellknown storage place in Uruguay and flew to France for 4 months
Mid september, the Uruguayan customs intervened and all the foreign vehicules ( 18 ) stored there were placed under seal - using the argument that the travelers were to be present WITH their vehicle.

The law says no such thing ...
The owner of the hotel is now in justice. Adjudication process ...
Next step ? ...Someone knows ?
