Typical considerations for Cape Town storm damage

Cape Town's coastal climate means saltwater exposure and windblown debris can accelerate corrosion and electrical faults after flooding. When we assess storm-damaged cars in Cape Town, we look at waterline exposure, visible corrosion, ECU and wiring condition, and structural integrity. These factors influence the final offer, which aims to be competitive based on local salvage demand.
