Need some advice here... I got into a little accident today where a car hit me from the back... My Kia Forte (Silver) has a deep "scratch" on the back bumper, but no crack... The other car was forcing me to pay, but I knew probably both of us were at fault, not only me... So I insisted on not paying, and resorted to making police report, after which he decided to just settle with him paying for his own repair (even worse damage to his MyVi), and I shall do my own repair... So now, I have to bear my own cost of repair... Any advice on where I can find good bargain to repair my bumper, and roughly how much would it cost? Not thinking of replacing the bumper, but possibly just smoothing it out and slight repainting?

QUOTE(empty82 @ May 30 2011, 09:07 AM) 1st thing, take the photo when got hit, i mean not moving ur car to other place... take the photo of the road and enviroment around and the most important thing is, take the photo with 2 car kiss together, if posible, with the number plate as well.... I think let's forget about making police report for now... It is over... I did not make police report, and we settled with him paying his own, and me paying my own... Maybe I should have made police report, hmmm... I think I learnt my lesson... But moving on from here... Where is the recommended workshop for repair... A bro from this forum told me that he managed to get his back bumper repaired for RM400 in his hometown (Perlis)... Just wondering whether the same thing can be done in KL for the same price... I probably just need a bit of touch up and repainting.. Simple job, but I need recommendation for workshop, because I want to avoid "cut throat" shops... :-) Thanks everybody  |

QUOTE(izputra @ May 30 2011, 10:30 AM) Yupp..it's me. The damage is quite a minor one..not damaging any of the 4 reverse sensor & the bumper is still structurally intact. How's yours? is the reverse sensors working fine for all 4 of them? Any bumper misplacement that might indicate broken hook? If the hook broken, u might end up with replacing with a new bumper (which is more expensive than repairing) to make sure it will attach to a car body firmly. About 3 years back, my wife's car got hit on the door (hit & run). I've asked around for a good 'knock shop' to do the repair. I end up sending my wife's car to one Malay 'knock shop' at Old Klang Road, KL. I have to say that the workmanship is good & the price is reasonable but they took quite long to do such a minor repair (about a week if i'm not mistaken) due to many cars. This 'knock shop' located at a very isolated location & at that time makes me wonder how on earth this guy survive doing this kind of business there. But after seeing their workmanship + reasonable price, i say to myself "no wonder the cars keep coming"  This is my story..i've no intention to recommend which 'knock shop' to go or whatsoever. Thanks again Izputra for helping out. Mine is just like yours. The damage is quite minor... Deep scratch, but no damage to reverse sensors, and the bumper is still intact (no structural damage)... Come on, you ought to recommend me the "knock shop" at Old Klang Road, if it is so good! What did they do to repair your bumper? Just touching up and repainting the bumper? |

Just an update on my case earlier where I scratched my bumper from an accident. Got a shop in Taman Miharja to even the surface and re-paint for only RM200. The shop is along the shoplot where the tyre shop is. Unfortunately, I didn't get the name of the shop. But hope this helps.
