Florida Drivers Urged to Choose Certified Collision Centers After Storm Season

Post-Hurricane Vehicle Damage: Finding the Best Auto Body Shop in Winter Garden After Storm Season

Winter Garden, FL – Following one of Florida’s most destructive storm seasons on record, Central Florida residents are confronting widespread vehicle damage caused by flooding, debris, and corrosion. With CARFAX reporting thousands of flood-damaged vehicles from the 2024 hurricane season and NOAA estimating over $1.5 trillion in cumulative hurricane-related damages since 1980, certified repair facilities have become essential. Windermere Collision Center urges vehicle owners in Winter Garden and nearby communities to act quickly, emphasizing the importance of manufacturer-certified repairs to restore safety, maintain warranties, and prevent long-term mechanical deterioration after hurricane exposure.

Hidden Damage to Watch for After Storm Exposure

Unseen issues often surface weeks or months later. Vehicle owners should request thorough post-storm diagnostics for:

• Electrical System Corrosion: Caused by salt residue and moisture intrusion.
• Mold and Mildew: Develops within 24–48 hours in Florida humidity.
• Rust Development: Accelerates under paint layers, weakening the structure.
• Suspension and Steering Damage: Water pressure compromises seals and joints.
• Brake Contamination: Moisture in brake fluid reduces performance and safety.
