ORO VALLEY, Ariz. — Southern Arizona is no stranger to summer storms, but the frequency and intensity can hit residents in more ways than one. From flooded roads to hail damage, monsoons can often be costly for drivers."A lot of these cars now are electric, they have sensors, cameras. So just replacing a door panel is a far more expensive process than it used to be," said insurance broker with Country Financial Keke Rodgers.
"They’re predicting 2024 may even be worse. And so that’s affecting our rates because as the materials and labor costs are going up, so are repairs," Rodgers added. "It’s frustrating because everything is going up. Just walk into a grocery store, go into a gas station, do something to get your car fixed," Neilson said.
