How do I know if I have water contamination?

The introduction of a limited amount of water into the engine or differential for a relatively short period of time does not necessarily spell disaster. On the other hand, even a cup of water in an automatic transmission almost always results in serious failure and major repair bills. To avoid this type of trouble, steer clear of deep puddles.   Should you park your car, only to return to find that it is submerged in 16 inches of water or more, do not attempt to start or operate the vehicle. At that point you may have a good chance of avoiding a big repair bill. Call West Escondido Automotive & Transmission for a tow vehicle!

West Escondido Automotive & Transmission will evaluate the damage, if any. If you're fortunate, draining and servicing the transmission may be all that is necessary. If you are not so lucky, in many cases depending on the circumstances, your auto insurance coverage may cover part, if not all, of the damage. A West Escondido Automotive & Transmission professional will be pleased to supply the technical information to your insurance carrier to register a claim.
