With the flood waters finally starting to recede around Wangaratta, it looks like our mate Yogi at Apex Park might soon be able to take a proper breath again! ๐
But while Yogi is getting his head back above water, itโs worth remembering that your car might need a little attention too.
If your vehicle has been through flood water, donโt assume everything is fine just because it starts and drives normally. Water can make its way into brakes, wheel bearings, electrical components, fluids and other parts that may cause problems later.
๐ If you've driven through deep water, keep an eye (and ear) out for anything unusual.
๐จ Warning lights, strange noises, electrical gremlins, changes to your brakes or anything that just doesn't feel right are all worth getting checked.
๐ง And if your vehicle has actually been sitting in flood water, **donโt start it until itโs been properly inspected.**
Hopefully the water keeps dropping, Yogi gets his nose back in the fresh air, and we can all get back to normal soon. โค๏ธ
If youโre worried about your vehicle after the floods, give Woodwards a call. Weโre happy to check it over and help keep you safely on the road.
Stay safe, Wangaratta. โค๏ธ
