With the flooding that we've experienced in the area, we know that many of you out there are finding your car submersed in water. Flood water means damage, which in turn spells repairs for your car. Here at Gillman Nissan Fort Bend, we're committed to providing you not only with top-tier customer service, but expert advice as well, and that means you can count on us to repair your vehicle if it has suffered from flood-water damage.
Before we do any work for you, however, we want to outline a few things that you should know about flood damage to your vehicle. First, and perhaps most importantly, do not start your car under any circumstances. Starting a car that's been damaged by flood water can result in further damage to your vehicle. Instead, we strongly recommend having it towed so that you can minimize the risk in order to assess the damage.
Next, remember that you pay for your insurance for a reason: now's the time to put them to work. Most of the time, comprehensive insurance can cover flood repair costs, and that means you can keep your money in your pocket. Contact your insurance company to gain a complete understanding of your policy.
And last, be sure to dry out your car's interior. Your upholstery is going to soak up flood water, which can result in both damage and mold. This can be avoided if you open your doors and grab some towels to soak up the water.
Once you've had your car towed to us, our service center will be happy to provide you with an estimate to repair the damage. Listed below, you can find many of the repairs that are commonly performed to fix flood damage. Take a look and let us know if you have any questions. We can be reached at (800) 639-8630.
