Repair Estimates
-
Hi all
Pls advise... I'm a new driver and own a new Honda Fit. Just yesterday, had an accident... Was about to turn out as a van came by and banged we were... His van had some scratches and a slight dent near the tyre area... Whereas my Fit suffered more serious damage -- front bumper dented and heavily scratched... Can anyone advise me how much it would cost for the repair of the van? How to verify? So so worried that the van's workshop will overcharge me... i.e damages not inflicted by the accident... -
Did you take a picture of the damage on the van?
-
Do you know any workshops? Or if a friend could introduced one? Tell van driver to bring it to your workshop and get the repairs done.
Or if you could privately settled with the van driver for a SGD "N" amount. But be sure to put it down on paper.
I think approximately for van repairs (as the damages that you had described), it should not be more than SGD 500. -
Yup i did... but unfortunately... i dunno how to upload the image to forum... hee...

What insurance policy have you had? If it's a comprehensive party, you can claim for your car and the van but if it's 3rd party only, the insurance company will only pay for the repair of the van.Originally posted by Daydreamzer:I did offer a few workshops for the guy... but the van driver insisted on bringing his van to his own workshop... tat' exactly wat worries me...

I would suggest you claim insurance but it may give you some demerit points (not sure how it works in Singapore). Have you contacted the insurance company yet?
Good luck! -
