2026 Mazda 3 S Preferred

Where should I take this to get work done? I had it towed to a local shop, but am questioning if something like this should be taken to the dealership.

It sat in the water for a good 20-30 minutes while waiting on a tow truck. Shut the engine off as fast as I could. Water line in engine bay covered the alternator but didn’t soak the air filter.

Trying to decide best course of action. Should I let the third party shop look at it or tow it again to the dealership?

I have comprehensive coverage but can’t imagine something like this would total the car. Might not get insurance involved if repairs aren’t crazy.
