CarProof offers free flood damage check on used cars

By ,

A number of cars that were flooded in the wake of Hurricane Sandy or any other disaster might one day cross the border into Canada. CarProof is therefore offering a free flood damage check on its website.

Canadian buyers will find out whether or not a used car has ever sustained water damage in the United States or if the car has been registered in an area that's been affected by a significant storm. Just go to carproof.com and enter the vehicle identification number (VIN).

Water damage should not be overlooked as it can have a lasting effect on a vehicle if it goes unrepaired.
