Protect yourself when you buy your next used automobile. We look under the hood of a car that was involved in a flood situation and then was put on the market.
(Transportation-News.com, March 11, 2014 ) Walled Lake, MI – What does one do when it is discovered that the recent car purchase is not what it seems? A recent video release by a Walled Lake, Michigan oil change center is sending out a strong message to consumers and that message is – buyer beware. There is a common scam that is going on throughout Metro Detroit in the used car market. It seems that there have been large shipments of damaged cars left in hurricanes and floods sent to areas of Metro Detroit. There have been concerns about performance, condition and even mud and grass getting inside of the engine. This is causing much alarm with new used car owners.
This is a very common scam and it can go undetected unless one knows where to look. The best place to look to see if a used car has been in any kind of danger is to look inside the car hinges and look for watermark lines. Often times there is a rust line or a muddy watermark inside the interior of the car’s hood near the engine. When everything is all said and done the car owner wants to make sure that they have made the right purchase. Walled Lake, MI based Top Lube Center has the customer in mind with some new informative web videos. These will show a used car shopper what to look for when picking out the best automotive experience.
This recent wave of used automobiles have come in through nearby countries such as Canada. Other cars have been shipped in from the East Coast where places like New York and New Jersey have been pelted by unrelenting storms, floods and hurricanes. This can be catastrophic to car owners and these cars have been carelessly left in salt water subjecting them to rust and poor performance. Now Top Lube Center is actually featuring this very topic on the web to educate the public. The video shows the interior of an engine and what to look for if a car has been left in these conditions. The videos are pretty shocking and will show the viewer in real time what to look for. In one video the top of the engine is removed and it reveals mud, grass, and clearly shows water lines inside the car’s interior. The overall feeling is somewhat off putting.
