How Significant Is the Impact After Repairing a Car Submerged in Water for Two Hours Up to the Seats?

[StJeremiah]

If a car is submerged in water up to the seats for two hours, there will still be some impact even after repair, and it is necessary to regularly inspect the vehicle at a 4S shop. The following are the handling methods for a water-damaged vehicle: 1. File an insurance claim: The first step is to file an insurance claim, as all vehicles are covered by auto damage insurance, so the insurance company will provide compensation. In natural circumstances, if the vehicle damage is caused by natural disasters such as heavy rain or floods, the insurance company will be responsible for the payout. 2. Car repair: The extent of impact after repairing a water-damaged vehicle largely depends on the severity of the submersion and the professionalism of the repair. If the submersion is not severe, simply replacing the affected components may suffice. However, if the submersion is severe, requiring repairs to the engine and other major parts, there may be no immediate issues post-repair, but after a few years, the vehicle may frequently encounter problems.
