Bros, I really need your kind input.
Yesterday my vehicle was parked at The Sail condo and I received a call from carpark management that a visitor was looking for me. He had gone down to admit he had hit my car and thus was looking for the owner of vehicle license plate number.
I went down, spoke with him. He offered to pay for damages or claim via his insurer. The damage is slight, a damaged bumper below the right head light. I went to Munich Auto the quote came out to S$5,6++ for replacement of bumper, respray, replacement of parking sensor and replacement of headlight.
The guy heard the $5.6k damage, told me to proceed claim against his insurer.
I have witness from the Sail management plus CCTV footage. Plus the Malaysian is quite keen to make do. However, his insurer told him to "Leave everything" to them.
Munich Auto has rejected my car for repair saying that they do not do 3rd party claim against Malaysian vehicle. I have contacted many workshops recommended to me by my insurer as well as Munich Auto but none willing to do 3rd party claim against Malaysian.
The only one that willing to do is asking me to get a hell lot of documentation from the Malaysian fella before he will entertain me. I become like a full time insurance agent, have to go ask for copy of that guy police report, LTA permit and copies of documents that either will take very long to get or just too troublesome.
My insurer now is asking me to claim against my own damage, which will affect my NCD. THis appears to be the only way that I can quickly get my car fixed.
Anyone got advise or any kind workshop willing to help me out?
I am abit disappointed with Munich Auto. I've been using them to service my car and when I'm in trouble, they are the first workshop I ran down to. The moment they hear it is 3rd party against Malaysian car, all run.
They did try calling 2-3 workshops but after that they left me on my own. I'm really frustrated with this entire episode, sigh.
