so recently got into an accident, where my car kena hit at side, passenger and driver side door got fucuked with rear tyre abit misaligned. awaiting results from sargent soon

but now where to proceed with repairs? i somehow inclined to stick to Toyota but will kena betterment fees alot cos old car, though i trust the quality more

but as per advice from people, they suggest panel workshop

which one would you recommend people! mohon kasi input


PS : car is first towed to Toyota, but still can drive

Toyota, you don't need to send to Toyota for repair.
Parts are widely available.

Get it repaired outside.

so it would be better if i drive it out and head to one of the panel workshop and get it fixed instead?

assuming claiming of insurance and dealing with the adjuster etc would be easier and faster?

If you are in JB, I can recommend you the shop.

Only if you're in JB.

Since you want to claim insurance, talk to the insurance company and drive your car to the appointment panel workshop.

cause my only concern atm is workmanship at the panel workshops

it would be obvious that those under panel should be way faster

It's Toyota, no worries.
Get them to replace the doors.
Parts are available at low price. No worries.

Call insurance company, get them to recommend a panel workshop.

If you are claiming insurance better go to Toyota, for VW the procedure is like this. Similar i think

alright, will do when up later

is it common conception that Toyota parts are affordable? cause to me, theyre still rather.. high

i just hope final keputusan is on my favor. dem maiwee who break red light!

yeah i was thinking of just letting Toyota deal, but theyre not under AIA

as the car is already there, i was thinking much easier to just let them settle, but the betterment charges is alot (its an old car)

It is because you have not bought expensive parts on other brands.
Toyota has tons of OEM parts too.
Other brands may not have OEM parts at all, especially in Malaysia market.

It's Toyota, no worries
You only need to worry when the workshop tells you your car is beyond repair.

impossible, as car still running

damage so far is just rear passenger heavily dented, while minor dent on driver side with misaligned tyre (but no odd sounds)

but if panel charges exhorbitant fee... pls for the love of god, make claim on 3rd party

Go Toyota better
Everything they change new

Hopefully you can claim to that myvi insurance.
Then nothing to worrry liao.

why drive it? tow it la. For insurance purposes you cant just go to any workshop. You must ask the insurance their panel workshop

accident mana? last nite i saw Kota damansara also got accident

depending on distance, too far nope

but now ended up panel workshop edi

not at KD, KL but couple of days ago
