Guides

Your car went through deep water. Don’t start it.

  1. If the engine stalled in water, leave it off.

    Restarting can bend the engine internally — the most expensive mistake in the monsoon.

  2. Get out on the higher side

    and away from the water; underpasses fill fast.

  3. Photograph the water line

    on the doors for the garage and the insurer.

  4. It needs a flatbed, not a rope.

    Tell us “flooded” and we send the right truck.

  5. Call your insurer

    before repairs begin if you have an engine-protect cover.
