That is the problem with service centers - they don't 'ketuk'. They change the entire side panel. That is why it is so costly.

I recently bumped into some guy's kia sorento as i was trying to park into a small space. It's a minor scratch at the spot above the front-right tyre. He's asking me to pay RM700 as he is sending it to Kia Service Centre. I feel like he's trying to take advantage of me. And normal paintjob at workshops probably cost less than that. Can anyone please advice me on this? I'm really lost and i don't want the guy to take advantage of me.

1) you're in the wrong sub-forum
2) aluminum parts these days aren't easily knock back and definitely require filling and depending on how much filling/quality of filling used/job done, it won't be as it was originally.
3) car parts and car job aren't as cheap as what most people put it out to be, ESPECIALLY when owner insist it to be in original condition.

if you can't/aren't willing to pay, by all means please settle with police report/claim insurance.

just to give you an idea, proton ori plastic bumpers easily cost between 200-300 (or more) depending on models.
paint job per panel (treat a bumper as one panel) is easily 200-500 or more.
an aluminum fender panel is easily in the 300-600 or more per side.

in certain cases you can polish back, however if deformed too much or even the clear/base coating all scratched/chipped off, you're out of luck.

again, a car isn't cheap.
don't want to pay, please don't bang people.

700 is for new bumper inclusive of painting.
Since the other party insists, pay for it but request for the old bumper.
If its only small scratch u can sell the bumper probably 400-500 to cover back ur losses.
Dont claim insurance coz its not worth it even if u have 0% NCD.

Using your logic better respray the whole car. Spraying one panel can have different colour right? Or why even respray the car? Better demand a new car because you want original paint.

TS made a small mistake but it doesn't mean you can korek anything you want out of him. Agreee with Ginny88 both sides have to be reasonable. The settlement should not make any party feel victimized or bullied. Remeber that TS can just walk away leaving the other fellow with nothing.

Oh you're very wrong.

The "victim" (TS admit bumping to said victim car anyways) can always make a police report, and if TS no show, definitely rm 300 summon, and if still determined TS fault and official report /conclusion made, there goes TS insurance NCD/ncb
