html A heavy rain from August 10 to 11 made the roads in the city seriously water. The water accumulated on many sections of the road even failed to pass roadside stone , causing many citizens' cars to break down on the road. According to a staff member of Ping An Auto Insurance , on the 11th alone, more than 400 cars were towed across the city. After the heavy rain, the water on the road also dissipated one after another, but the impact did not stop. On the morning of the 13th, the reporter visited several auto repair shops in the city and found that almost every repair car was "full".
In an auto repair shop called "Positive Energy" located on Huanghe 4th Road in the city, many vehicles are waiting for repairs. The reporter counted briefly and there were eight or nine cars in line at the door alone. Seven or eight maintenance personnel in the store were busy and busy. A staff member stood between the open hood and the engine to repair the vehicle. "This car has water in the engine, and it is not very serious yet. Just clean it a little."
html Two staff members on the side were using a high suction vacuum cleaner to absorb water from a white vehicle. "This is a water soaking truck, and the water reaches the middle of the seat." The staff member said that the water sucked out of the car had filled four or five barrels of water. "There are many water soaking trucks like this, and basically they have to replace the engine. Generally, the engine has water in the engine, and it only needs to be cleaned." A person in charge of the car repair shop said that the store also provides tow truck services. On the 11th, more than a dozen cars were towed to the store for repair. "There are also many free tow truck services, because there were too many cars that were shut down in the water that day."
In addition to the engine water inlet and water soaking vehicles, many car owners also caused water inlet due to carelessness. A staff member of another car maintenance store on Yellow River Fourth Road said that an Audi female car owner forgot to close the sunroof that night on the 10th, causing serious water soaking in the vehicle. "The engine is fine, but all the electronic components inside the car were damaged. In the end, the owner replaced all of them at the 4S store, which cost more than 80,000 yuan."
While the repair staff of the car repair shop repaired the vehicle soaked in water, an insurance company staff was also evading the damage to the vehicle. "The water truck is divided into five levels. The first level is light soaking in water. The more serious the vehicle soaking in water, the higher the level. If the water reaches the roof, it is level five soaking in water, and it can basically be scrapped. " The staff member introduced that on the 11th, his insurance company alone dragged more than 400 cars across the city. "It is mainly concentrated in three areas with severe water accumulation in the city, Zouping, Boxing . In some places with deep water, the tow trucks dare not enter."
"Some maintenance of water-wading vehicles can be reported for insurance, but if the car owner does not enter the engine water-wading insurance , once the engine is damaged, the losses will be borne by the car owner." The staff of the insurance company also reminded the citizens of a problem. There are many car owners in the southern region of the engine wading insurance, and there are basically no car owners who go to the north to enter this insurance specifically.
According to a technician at Baozhixing Automobile Maintenance Center, on August 11, their store also dragged nearly 10 cars back to the store for repair. "Many cars have their engines directly scrapped, such as high-priced vehicles, which can cost tens of thousands of yuan, so it is necessary to enter an engine to wading water insurance."
