to thoroughly clean up a flood car could easily take few days.

dismantle everything and wash from inside.

towed back, no way it's driven back

if you ask me, if they can clean it properly...it's better than overhaul car(as long as the car never been start since flood)

like i said, as long as it's never been turn on...it can be left to dry and cleaned
you don't really need to replace it

the key is never turning it on...ever
if it's turned on even once = GG cost

ECU TCU can be replaced for cheap if needed

wiring all corroded, will have intermittent problem later on
