If you have insurance, promptly file a claim with your insurance company to receive initial compensation. For any remaining uncompensated amounts after the insurance payout, first negotiate with the 4S shop. If negotiations fail, you may file a lawsuit. Begin by discussing compensation matters with the 4S shop. If dissatisfied with the negotiation outcome, gather evidence to sue the 4S shop for damages.

If my car gets flooded while being repaired at the 4S shop, I'll immediately contact the dealership for compensation as they're responsible for vehicle custody. The 4S shop bears full liability for damages during maintenance - this is industry practice. I'll speak with the manager to assess flood damage (electrical issues, moldy upholstery etc.) and request a written report. Compensation should cover cleaning fees, part replacements, even depreciation. If they evade responsibility, I'll file complaints with consumer associations or pursue legal action. I always specify custody clauses in repair contracts beforehand to avoid disputes. This matter could drag on if mishandled, so I'll firmly assert my rights and prevent them from brushing it off. Gathering surveillance footage or photos as evidence is crucial.
