As the effects of Hurricane Harvey subside, much of the Houston area is left with ruined items, destroyed homes, and more. With this comes calls to insurance. If your car happens to be one of your properties that was wrecked, and you’re not sure what you need to do, Gillman Chrysler Jeep® Dodge RAM can assist you in answering questions about next steps.
First of all, if your car was flooded, we advise not starting the vehicle. Doing so could increase the repair and maintenance, not to mention create an unsafe environment, as various aspects could be damaged like your powertrain. Instead, we encourage you to give our Gillman Towing Company a call at 713-779-9565. We can have a tow truck come directly to you and pick up your vehicle. They’ll bring it back to our service center, and we’ll start on repairing it back to its original condition.
Next, you’ll want to get in touch with your insurance provider and start a claim. It’s important that you record the claim number and the contact name. Once that is all set up, we’ll begin working with your provider on restoring your car. To accommodate everyone that we can, we are offering extended hours in our service department. For exact times, feel free to call us.
If you absolutely need a car within the coming days/weeks, we do supply rental vehicles. However, there is a limited amount, and we recommend you get in sooner rather than later before they all are gone. Your insurance provider will kindly let you know what’s included in your policy so that you can plan accordingly.
Please, don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. We are here for you, your friends, neighbors, family, and everyone. You can find us at 10585 West Sam Houston Parkway 5.
