How to Deal with Flooded Cars in Henan?

[Cinna]

First, once the car is flooded, you must immediately call the insurance company to report the incident. Ensure your own safety first, then you can check the flooding level and damage to the car yourself, take photos as evidence for damage assessment and claims. Contact the insurance company or a 4S shop, wait for the rescue tow truck to arrive. While waiting, you can disconnect the car's power to minimize losses.

Last year during the heavy rain in Henan, my car got flooded, and I still feel scared thinking about it. First, don't touch the car, especially don't start the engine, or the water will ruin it. I immediately called a tow truck to take the car to a nearby repair shop. The mechanic said it depends on the water level: if only the floor was submerged, cleaning the interior and electronic systems would suffice; if the water reached the seats, the engine and fuses needed to be checked. In the end, the insurance covered some of the costs, but I still had to spend a few thousand on repairs. Since then, I always remind my friends to park on higher ground and buy flood insurance before the rainy season to avoid trouble. Honestly, such situations need quick action—delaying it will only make the mold smell harder to clean.
