In the unpredictable dance of the elements, our vehicles often bear the brunt of nature’s moods. From hailstorms to flooding, the aftermath of adverse weather can leave your car in need of serious TLC. At Parramatta Smash Repairs, we’ve seen firsthand the havoc that weather can wreak on vehicles, and we’re here to guide you through the recovery process, ensuring your luxury vehicle returns to its pre-storm glory.
Hail Damage: The Silent Car Nemesis
One of the most visually noticeable forms of weather damage is the dents and dings caused by hail. These ice pellets can transform a vehicle’s sleek exterior into a pockmarked landscape. Hail forms when updrafts inside a thunderstorm lift raindrops upwards. As these raindrops move higher, the temperature drops below zero degrees and causes the raindrops to freeze and become hailstones. When the hailstones become too heavy for the updraught to support, they begin to fall, but if the hailstones get caught in the updraughts again, they cycle through the storm and become larger with every cycle. As illustrated below, the east coast of Australia is one of the prime places for hail storms.
The good news? Hail damage is often cosmetic and can be masterfully repaired with our Paintless Dent Removal service. Our Paintless Dent Removal services restore your vehicle’s dented area to near perfection without disturbing the original paint finish.
Soaked But Not Sunk: Recovering From Water Damage
Water damage can wreak havoc on your vehicle’s engine and its interior. Flooding inside your car can short circuit its electrical systems and ruin the interior trim of your vehicle. It is best to usually store your luxury vehicle indoors or undercover, but sometimes life’s circumstances can get in the way. Luckily, our vehicle diagnostics is ready to save the day. Our factory approved diagnostic equipment helps us discover your vehicle’s problems in any situation. Our diagnostic scan equipment picks up the code, which then informs the technicians of possible issues with any component in the vehicle, to make sure you’re back on the road as soon as you can.
Weathering Bad Weather And Windscreen Replacement.
Storm debris and hail can shatter windscreens and windows, leaving your vehicle exposed to the elements and unsafe to drive. Our detailing team meticulously removes glass fragments, dirt, leaves, and branches, ensuring your car is clean and safe.
As mentioned earlier, hail can really damage your car, and this is extremely true when it comes to windscreens. If the hail stone is between 2 cm to 4.9 cm (or the size of a golf ball) it will have the potential to crack or smash your windscreen. If you know a storm is coming, make sure to keep your car undercover. Many cars are damaged in outdoor car park parks. However, in the event your windscreen is cracked or smashed by hail, we offer competitively priced windscreen repairs, regardless of your car’s make or model. When your windscreen is damaged, it is of the utmost importance that you act fast, as when it comes to windscreen cracks, they can expand fast.
Wheel Woes to Road-Ready: Ensuring Your Safety from the Ground Up
The impact of driving through flooded streets or hitting debris can damage your vehicle’s suspension, wheels, and tyres – compromising safety and comfort. Scratched wheels not only look terrible on your luxury car, but also perceptively cheapen the overall appearance of your car. We have decades of experience with alloy wheel repairs and we handle repairs that are due to curb chipping, gutter damage or discolouration through age or harsh cleaning chemicals.
