Contrary to popular opinion, starting your car an idling it up to temperature is not good for it. If you aren't going to actually drive it, just leave it switched off. Idling up to temperature does more harm than good.

IMO - put it up on jack stands, remove the wheels and ideally remove the pads/discs and take the discs inside (unless the garage is dry enough), attach the battery conditioner and forget about it.

garage is dry and warm as the house boiler is in there which is handy, what about over inflation the tyres?
