efssc 5th Gear February 9, 2015 Share February 9, 2015 Many yrs ago my Coe car rolled fwd n bumped another Coe merc stopped in front of me. I got out of the car n merc owner remained cool in his driver seat n waved at me, signaling that was ok. That was the sey. But in this case I think the TS no such luck, as he mentioned in his original post that the Merc owner already asking for compensation. Actually it has been a while since his first post, wonder if he'd already settled it already, and if so, on what terms? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic February 9, 2015 Share February 9, 2015 Good luck to you if he goes back to AD for respray. Each panel is $800. Min downtime is 3 days. A taxi previously scratched my front bumper and tried to run away. Very happy you caught him. Nothing worse than those who hit and run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
minion 4th Gear April 29, 2017 Share April 29, 2017 Hi everyone. I also need your advice to estimate the cost for repair of scratches on a Mercedes. It happened in a car park. I gave my self pressure as the other car was waiting to pass through and scratched the Merc that was parking near the slot. Just unfortunate. I left a note with my number. The owner may call me anytime tonight or tomorrow morning. I have taken two photos for you guys to see more clearly. The first one with without flash, the second one with flash. P-plate driver. Please advise what are the things I need to know and how much cash I have to prepare. Or there are alternatives? thanks. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily buff off with Turtle brand's swirl mark remover. Buy that owner a nice SB coffee while you guys wait for the groomer to work the magic in 5 mins.

Dymatize 1st Gear December 28, 2017 Share December 28, 2017 hi guys, unfortunately I reversed into a Mercedes today... any idea what is the potential repair costs?I guess license plate would be about $100? a) spray the bumper $600? b) replace the entire bumper... $XXXX? c) what if the sensor is damaged too? Also, if its non C&C workshop of his choice, would it make a difference if I go down with him sigh thanks 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmws214 Turbocharged December 28, 2017 Share December 28, 2017 If you wish, you may drive down to get Mr Ng, 96166658, boss of a panel beater shop to asses the cost. His price is very reasonable and I am been using him for many years (close to 8 yrs). His shop name is Khek Joo Motor Workshop, located at 9004 Tampines st 93. He is very popular with the SHC forum club. Think he has been mentioned in our MCF also. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later the bugger claim you 20k... hi Kusje, I spoke to the Mercedes owner and we agreed to a private settlement. He will drive to his workshop tomorrow and get a quote for me. If i agree to the quote, i will agree and transfer the money to him and he will proceed with the repair Assuming the cost is too high for my liking, can i: 1) report to insurance and claim my insurance then? Assuming still within 24 hrs 2) if its after 24hrs, can i still report insurance? And if not, and i refuse to pay his 20k, what happens? Civil case?
