Safety Tips for flooded Cars

Have a qualified technician do the following:

1. Inspect all mechanical components, including the engine, transmission, axles, brakes and fuel system for fuel contamination.
2. Flush and replace all fluids, oils and lubricants, and replace oil filters and gaskets for components exposed to water.
3. Conduct a thorough cleaning of brake parts and repacking of bearings, particularly for rear-end drive vehicles. In front wheeled vehicles, the bearings are sealed.
4. Inspect all wiring and electrical components exposed to water. Some electrical and computerized components might be damaged due to water exposure and some metal or electronic /electrical components may begin to corrode.
5. After all these thorough inspection, check also the interior of your vehicle like the carpets, and other components. It may need cleaning if not replacement also.
