Water Damage Response

Angela Chapman - Tuesday, February 01, 2011

I am quite surprised at the reaction of our press release about possible flood damage to cars. One car even had the sump guard torn off by the force of entering the relatively shallow water at speed.

If water intrusion goes unnoticed it is the worst possible death for an automatic transmission and can render the unit totally non repairable.

We have another popular brand being towed in that was unlucky enough to get water into the floor area and then driven to higher ground. It was parked for three days and then developed a shudder when driving off. Hopefully by getting inside quickly we can minimize the damage.

Cheers

Ronny

Thanks for the great information after reading your blog I had a look under my vehicle as I had gone through some deep water and found plastic covers broken. Wil b intouch with you soon to get my vehicle checked for any sort of water intrusion due to covers broken.

Testimonial

"Hello, I just wanted to thank you for such great service. My car, Audi A4, was serviced by your team. We were unsure of what could be wrong with the vehicle but it is running so much more smoothly and we are very happy. Reluctantly, we will now sell it to our son, but with it running so well, would prefer to keep it. You may recall me talking about this."

Regards,
Margaret Fowler
