How Long Does It Take to Repair a Flood-Damaged Car?

[DeManuel]

Flood-damaged cars generally take about a month to repair. Below are the specific details regarding this issue: Introduction to Flood-Damaged Cars: A flood-damaged car refers to a vehicle that has been submerged in water, typically meaning the engine and transmission have been soaked, with the water level exceeding the wheels and seats, and the underbody components being in prolonged contact with water. Such vehicles pose significant risks, as their electrical systems are prone to short circuits and even fires. Classification of Flood-Damaged Cars: If the water level exceeds the chassis, it is considered a soaked vehicle; if it surpasses the oil dipstick, it is a semi-soaked vehicle; and if it goes above the hood or dashboard, it is a fully soaked vehicle. Vehicles where the water level exceeds the center console or even submerges the roof entirely remain a ticking time bomb even after repairs.
