Automotive News & Information - The Auto Repair Place

Unless you are confident in your abilities as an automotive mechanic, there is really only one rule when purchasing a flood-damaged vehicle: don’t do it. Unfortunately, sometimes sellers aren’t particularly straight-forward with their used cars. Many will try to hide the fact that it’s been damaged by floodwaters at all or try to convince potential buyers that the car is in fact fine. “It has gone months with no issues” or “technically it is flood-damaged but” are two red flags, and while it isn’t impossible for a flood car to be fine, it’s altogether a good idea to stay away.

Auto Repair Place was very professional and accommodating helping to get our son's 4runner a brake job and alignment on short notice. They did a great job on the repair and enabled our son to make it safely and on time to a new job starting in Texas. Even received a follow-up on the repair. Thanks again!
