QUOTE(davidke20 @ Jan 21 2014, 10:08 PM) There's a good chance that they pour oil on the left lane(way before the corner). It could be the wooden block as you claimed, but I couldn't see it in the picture you've posted. The original intention was to make victim skid, hit their both front/rear left wheel on the road shoulder and total their tyres and rims so these call man/tow truck service can tow their car back. That however, they wasn't expect the car that came so fast(which is you doing 100+) and became a lift-off oversteer and turtle a Focus(more like a MyBi thing). this case is common, some even put nails man... mostly motorbike lane will have nails and puncture tyres...*Here refer the 3rd party towing service/call man as THEY/THEIR/THEM: They usually setup the trap after 2am, that's their morale to NOT involve more than 2 cars in an accident, so to avoid fuzz came and do their usual scene inspection(and ofcourse if found oil on the floor, fuzz will smile at the tow truck and ask them whether need to make the report straight or change a little bit(that ofcourse will eat into their profit). They usually setup the trap as far as 100 meters away from their targeted area(trust me, oil on rubber can reduce frictional surface for a very long time). They like to hide under fly over/elevated way/under bridge and wait for their prey to fall into their trap, because usually those place got rest area for motorcyclist during bad weather. They don't work alone, usually in pair or trice but not more than that. Reason being, if more than 1 car accident, 2 of them will be able to do their job. The extras usually will act as a dumbass overcharge fella that call for crazy pricing, so the victim will fall for the already tripled of reasonable price' price. But ofcourse the dumbass overcharge fella will still get his cut later after being settled Now you have the minimal knowledge to reconstruct the conspiracy. What time the event taken place? Think back, what happened when you exited Kesas, what happened? Before enter the tunnel, why did you choose the left lane? Other than the fast car infront of yours, is there something blocking the right lane that makes you feel uncomfortable hence you chosen the left? After the accident, they came within 10 seconds. Which direction from the end of the tunnel? Where about they came from? The direction they came from got what? Angry? Felt being setup? Not necessarily, next time drive slower & take cautious. |

QUOTE(andrekua2 @ Apr 26 2014, 09:05 AM) Bumper and fender wont have warranty. Thanks a lot of advice =) light is ok , sorry to hear u had same prob, does outside workshop fix yours colour will be same ? Did they have to repaint whole fender and bumper or just part of it?If you go to SC, I can guarantee you will be slaughtered like a live cow. Bumper still intact, just need a bit sanding plus repaint. Just need to make sure the hole for the bumper which attach to the bumper clip not damaged. Also check the clip piece that hold the bumper. The fender if you want cheap just knock back. If dont want, then goto Segambut spare parts shop find. Last time I bought for old vios is around 3xx. Paint is optional. Pray that the headlight leg didnt broke. Just drive up a wall and check if the headlight allignment is off or not. If ok, then no need fix. Try open the door slowly until it stuck. Take a look where it stuck, and try push the fender in. Should help with the door operation. 5-6 years back, similar accident but headlight and fender totally KO, bumper clips gone, set me back 1.2k with first gen Vios. Now I think should cost a bit more. |

QUOTE(kelvencck @ Apr 26 2014, 01:02 PM) Just forget to fix it in toyota unless u're really rich.. tq for the advice bro...! just got quote from SC, around 1k-2k depending change or repair... drive carefully also will happen such unfortunate >.<U got two choice whether pay cash or claim insurance.. If pay cash,i will tell u it sure over rm1k.. Need to respray the whole fender.. Bumper depend.. If u claim sure spray whole.. If cash,try to spray the corner part there only due to tight budget.. Wont notice so much as ur car paint is still new.. But of course sure need find those good workmanship.. Not anjingkucing talk more than work.. Btw,u bang other or been bang by other? If bang other; If ur car was bought with new insurance no NCD decrease.. I recommend u just claim ur insurance.. Why pay since ur insurance is still new?? If been bang by other; Just claim that fella insurance.. This case can be done in a 5-7days without pay a cent |

QUOTE(DaBestOne @ May 21 2014, 12:42 PM) normally I will do the wheel alignment balancing every 10k service Outside cost will be cheaper if compare to do alignment balancing in SC QUOTE(RoxyMunky @ May 21 2014, 01:22 PM) it cost me around RM65 for the balancing, alignment and tyre rotation in Toyota SC. bros, thanks for reply yo... however, if i choose not to do alignment at SC, will it void my warranty?outside is around RM6 per pcs of balancing... alighment around RM20 only. Therefore, all in around RM50 only~ |
