First off, I don't know much about car and its maintenance/servicing whatsoever. This Almera is my mum's. I think it's a 2013 model based on pictures I can google.

Anyway, what I want to know is how much is the cost estimation/breakdown to repair/replace the following damage? What kind of shop do I send it to? Any general car workshop? Paint shop? This I truly have no idea what to call it. Surely not tyre shop. I don't mind the cost just don't want get scammed since I never done this before.

A - is the right side of the front skirt. Totally pecah.

C - is the side skirt (right side). If I look from the floor, also pecah a lot.

B - is near the driver side. This one not the skirt but rather the main body I think. This one scratched by some box truck. So I'm thinking if the shop I'm sending can fix that paint even better la. But if cannot is fine. This one not very urgent.



Thank you in advance.

A. Need to buy new front skirt, roughly around rm250-300 maybe before painting. The painting cost could be around 150.

B. Need to repaint the bumper, maybe around rm150-200.

C. Similar like A.

You need to send to body repair/paint shop but I suggest you look online to buy yourself first so the body shop only need to paint and install, otherwise they will charge much more expensive for the skirting.

Thanks for the answer. At least I got a rough idea of what to do.

alternatively, remove those things maybe paint under is still good for a polish

state your area then others can recommend some bodyshops.

I don't quite understand what you meant by that. Sorry really noob here.



I'm Kuching. Batu Kawa to be exact. There's plenty of car shop here. 2nd hand dealer, car wash etc. As for servicing quite a few that say specialized in air-cond / battery / tyre in their name so for me it's quite confusing if they're able to handle my issue hence I'm hesitant to ask them first. Scared later they refer me here and there but end up getting major ripped off.

The previous answer suggest me to buy the skirt myself online (which I'm afraid not ngam) but if the shop can handle everything themselves and it amount to around RM1k I wouldn't mind.

What he mean is just taking off all those skirting cuz those are just accessories glued/double taped on top of the original body. So behind those skirting you'd find the actual car body which should still be in nice condition but just need to clean up from the gum residue. So that way you won't need to spend much on anything.

Aircon/battery/tyre shops won't do such repairs. If you worry about buying wrongly online then find a body kit accessories shop, usually they sell such skirting often including painting and installation too so should be practical for you.

or just an alternative, since car is already 10 years old, don't need to fix these plastic parts.. if there's no damage to the metal body underneath the parts, then let it be lo.
save money..
or another alternative, can try shopee search whether got any shop selling bumpers / skirtings for this model?
I see many youtube videos, those modders love to buy parts from shopee.. not sure whether got seller in sarawak or not for this model
