How much for repairs?

Re: How much for repairs?

Sorry to hear you about the accident....I guess the most important thing is to settle your insurance part 1st. For the repairs:

- I think it's crucial to check if the chassis is affected; strut, arms, linkages, shocks, rims can be replaced but not the chassis. It will be costly to correct a chassis dat's out of true.

Juz be more careful handling a RWD when cornering in the wet....do not power into the apex; you will break traction at the front easily. Of course, we know the RWD in the dry is a different animal. All the best.....

Re: How much for repairs?

Hi, sorry I read your post late. I have personal experience with an accident claim with Aviva and PML, you can PM me if you need help.

Aviva's insurance also come with different schemes. The regular ones allow you to go to any workshop, while the one offering ~5% off restricts you to go to their authorize workshop. Also take note that the claimed amount will affect your NCD. Normally the workshop (PML included) will try change anything that has any sign of possible damge. There are claim amount "brackets" which will affect your following years' NCD, so keep a keen eye on the list of repair and ensure they do only the necessary. For instant, it's really cheap to get 16/17" orginal rims from the forum, but if you claim via PML, you know each rim will be 1000+ So weigh your options. Your NCD will reset to 20% once you claim from your own insurance.

Do feel free to PM me. Sorry about your accident!
