Guard Against Flood Damaged Vehicles with Pohanka Hyundai in Capitol Heights, MD

When you’re in the market for a pre-owned vehicle, you want something reliable that won’t break down on you every few months. Though that might be hard to find elsewhere, you can count on our inventory here at Pohanka Hyundai to have something that both meets and exceeds your expectations. Our technicians perform extensive checks to identify flood-damaged vehicles, so you can rest assured that whatever makes it onto our lot is safe and free of this kind of deterioration.

Every time a pre-owned vehicle rolls onto our lot, our service technicians are required to complete a full inspection of the interior, exterior, and mechanical systems to ensure that everything is in pristine condition. Since this is not always the case, our mechanics are trained to distinguish water-damaged vehicles from those without it by testing the electrical components of the car first. If any system, like the blinkers, windshield wipers, interior lights, or radio, needs repairing or replacing, we will dip into our vast Parts Department to find a compatible piece. However, electrical failure is also a sign of water damage, so our mechanics will continue to look for more warnings that it might not be entirely functional.

Water damage often leaves a mark on the upholstery or rugs, even if it’s dry, so we make sure to comb through the interior for signs of deterioration. If there is rust inside the cabin, pooling under the seats, or damp rugs and upholstery, it’s probable that the vehicle has undergone slight or possibly serious flood damage. Even if there’s no visible signs of wear and tear inside or under the hood, the most tell-tale warning is a muggy stink coming from the cabin or the mechanical systems. If our technicians detect any smells like this, or encounter any of the other warning signs, we will more than likely turn the vehicle away. We refuse to have any less-than-functional cars in our inventory, so you can count on us to provide you with only the best.
