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.

I recently bought a 2010 Jeep Wrangler with a severe front end shake. My local mechanic of 25 yrs could not find a problem. A 2" lift caused the problem that my mechanic doesn't normally do. So I took it to Dave & Wayne and $175 later it was fixed. I was imagining a $600 bill so imagine my surprise! They fixed the problem and listed other things they found to be addressed by my local mechanic. This company is GREAT! The Jeep goes there from now on, my other car can go to my other mechanic. I asked Amy to thank the mechanic who worked on my car for being SO thorough. They are truly an old style garage who cares about their customers and not ripping them off. If you need auto service and in the area stop in!
