Question: "I have already fixed the leak in my car, it was just a blocked pipe, but my car is wet and won't dry. Can you dry my car?"
Answer: Yes. We are happy to just do the drying part.
This Vectra had water getting into the cabin from under the dashboard making the carpets wet. By the time the car got to us it had quite a lot of water in it and was smelling damp.
This is a straightforward one. Water was running off the windscreen into the scuttle trough as it should, but the drainage holes were blocked. So the trough was filling with water until it reached the level of the pollen filter, where it just overflowed into the cabin.
Solution: Unblock the drainage holes -- simple as that. There's nothing to replace or repair. However, we will extract the water, dry the carpets and treat the car with anti-microbial.
Up to a third of the cost of your car was computers, processors and sensors. Delicate electrical systems hidden under your carpets, which might now be sitting in water.
