Are Flooded Cars Easy to Repair?

[DelKai]

Fully submerged cars are not easy to repair, so they require more time and money. The hazards of water-damaged vehicles include the following two points: Interior Impact: Materials such as carpets and seats inside the vehicle may deform, become rough, and produce odors due to prolonged soaking, leading to bacterial growth. The wiring harness under the carpet retains high moisture, which can cause short circuits due to dampness. These soaked components are best replaced to avoid long-term water damage effects. Door Panel Impact: The door panels contain sound insulation foam, which needs replacement after water exposure. The four-wheel bearings must also be replaced because their seals contain lubricating grease. If not replaced, the grease can corrode and deteriorate, losing its lubricating function and compromising driving safety.
