While everyone in the Eastern States of Australia buckled down in their homes this past month, many luxury car owners are nervously twitching. They are thinking about the cost and extent of the damage to their luxury cars in this wild start to 2024.

As cyclones, hail, floods, fires and intense winds devastate the eastern coast, bringing rain, hail, lighting, and high waters to homes and businesses everywhere, smash repairers are gearing up for the inevitable busy period ahead. Diligent luxury and high-end car owners book their cars in at Parramatta Smash Repairs immediately for damage caused by “acts of nature,” while some only discover the extent of the damage months later. Unfortunately, after delays in getting your car repaired after a storm, the only alternative is to park your car and wait in line, which could take months. At Parramatta Smash repairs we believe that early action is better for all car owners and can keep the condition of your vehicle in top shape!

So what kind of damage should you be looking for? Let’s delve into the type of damage you should keep an eye on after the storm.

Rain, Lightening And Your Vehicle:

It’s always best practice to keep your car stored in a waterproof enclosure away from the harsh elements. However, we’ve all been caught in the rain before. Frequency of rain storms can cause damage to the electronics and the protective coating of your vehicle. Parramatta Smash Repairs offers a professional detailing service which can involve (depending on your needs) a VIP detail (inside and out) through to paint rejuvenation and paint protection packages. Our skilled detailers can customise a package that best suits your vehicle’s requirements. We also offer a full mechanical service to repair any electrics damaged after heavy rain. 

Static electricity buildup has the potential to trigger car alarms and temporarily disable remote keylock entry to cars. Particularly during thunderstorms, there is an accumulation of static electricity in the atmosphere, leading to electrical surges. These surges pose a risk to the sensitive electronics within vehicles, including the engine control module, infotainment system, and navigation system, potentially causing damage. Parramatta Smash Repairs can help you out with our Vehicle Diagnostics service. Parramatta Smash Repairs factory approved diagnostic equipment assists us in discovering your vehicle’s problems after a collision. Our diagnostic scan equipment picks up the code, which then informs the technicians of possible issues with any component in the vehicle, meaning we can easily recalibrate your car’s electronics and onboard computer system.

If you notice a chip or scratch on your car, we absolutely recommend getting it repaired as quickly as possible. It doesn’t take much for the crack to fracture your entire car window. Luckily for you, our window repair service is here to save the day. Regardless of your car’s make or model, we can source and supply the perfect replacement windscreen.

However, Parramatta Smash Repairs offers a myriad of different services to repair your car if debris gets in the way.

SMART Repair Services

Have you ever heard of SMART repairs? SMART repairs refer to Small to Medium Area Repair Technology (S.M.A.R.T). These cosmetic repairs are to remove minor damage to your vehicle’s body panels, mirrors or bumpers (because you want to keep your vehicle not 

only running good, but looking good). These SMART car repair services can be delivered without the need to claim on car insurances and without the need to pay the hefty insurance excess fees, to keep your car stylish after storm damage.

Cold Temperatures And A Hot Battery.

Temperature plays a very important role in the performance of your battery. Inside the typical led acid battery are led plates in electrolyte liquid which creates an electro-chemical reaction to produce a charge to the battery terminals. Heat often accelerates this chemical activity but also speeds up the internal corrosion with the cells and ends up reducing the lifespan of your battery. Parramatta Smash Repairs offers a fully certified mechanical repair centre, that can replace your battery in a timely and effective manner to get you back on the road.
