Paintless Dent Repair

[yubby24]

Insurance coverage?

Nagvolunteer na sila na sila na magshoshoulder nung repair eh. Pwede na po kaya yun?

Same parin yung nasa Autocamp sina Richard. Last month nag pa PDR ako sa kanya. Ganun parin at mahusay mag PDR.

Close sila pag linggo.

Salamat po sir for the feedback. Nakausap ko na si Richard kaninang umaga. Yes, Sunday closed daw sila.

Went to AutoCamp in Ortigas. Sabi ni Richard malabo na raw maibalik sa dati ng walang masilya. Iniisip ko ipasok ko na sa insurance na lang para mas maayos. Palit lang kaya ng panel ito o buong pinto na?

Saklap. Kala ko yung panel pwede palitan. Buong pinto rin yung quote ni Honda GH eh. Though hindi pa nakita ng personal kasi yan lang din shinare ko dun sa close kong SA.

Mas pulido actually kung buong pinto. Just make sure everything works, gaps are aligned, it opens and closes smoothly, and the glass does not leak. Bare shell lang kasi ipapadala from planta nyan so the casa has to transfer everything from your original door to the new one.

Kaibigan ko first night inuwi nya Mobilio binangga agad front door habang nag maniobra sa parking

Gamitin ang insurance. Sayang din binabayaran mo.

Panong bare shell lang sir? Sila casa hindi umorder ng buong rear door at pinalit dun sa damaged?

Gano pala tumagal sir sa casa yung sasakyan nya habang nirerepair? Ito kasi isa sa mga inaalala ko eh. Yung matengga ng matagal sa casa.

Arrange w/ the dealership for you to keep the car while the part is ordered, paint-matched, pre-sprayed & pre-polished prior to install. Cuts a huge chunk of downtime & you'll be more assured of proper paint coverage(w/o unsightly overspray & stuck rub/wax residue).... front, back, inside, out before they start transferring your reusable parts onto the new panel. This way, you might just be without the car for a coupla days. Best case scenario.[emoji4]

Very good suggestion sir. I'll try to go to the casa tomorrow para mas maigi mapag-usapan. Puro viber lang kasi kami ngayon eh. Papa-inspect ko na rin bukas sa BPI accredited. Yun na lang kulang kong requirement eh.

transfered to BPI MS

pwede bang ipa insurance kung simpleng dent lang? mag expire na kasi this march ang insurance..sayanag naman at magamit.

You might want to consider the overall cost. If you use your insurance, check the participation fee and compare how much it will cost you if you just have it repaired outside of casa.

puede po.
but we have to be aware of the participation fee that virtually every comprehensive insurance policy has.
tanong nyo po kung magkano pagawa kung insurance ang sasalo, at kung magkano kung kayo po ang magpagawa.

[yubby24]

Kung simple dent lang yan, baka mas mura at mas mabilis pa pagawa sa PDR kesa ipasok mo sa insurance. Pero icheck mo pa rin po.

[carrera_911]

Thanks sa mga suggestions..pero policy 3.5k ang participation. nag tanong na kasi ako sa pdr bubutasan daw yung part na gagawin so hindi din advisable.

[carlaa]

How much usually yung pagawa kapag minor dent? May nadampian kasi akong car tapos 3k yung hinihingi. Reasonable ba yun with this kind of dent?

it's also about the amount of the participation fee of some insurance contracts.
either way, if i were the one at fault, i'd pay.

Parking entrance barrier fell on the double-walled roof frame of the Camry (didn’t blame the attendant as it would probably cost him his job).

Anyway, my trusted PDR tech took a look at it and he said (though didn’t recommend it since it would compromise structural integrity and might cause rust issues) it would entail cutting a hole behind the frame as it’s double walled to do a proper repair using his method.

He did mention though that a professional “glue pull” method, which he currently doesn’t have, might do the trick. Anyone know of a shop using this method? Preferably south, but anywhere in the metro would be fine.

Cheers!

many years ago,
when my car's roof caved in, for reasons we could not fathom,
we simply pushed the metal outward from inside the passenger cabin.
we didn't even have to remove the ceiling cover.

i know of some workers who would drill a small hole thru one of the metal walls, in order to manipulate and fix the double-walled segment.

i had one such repair on our running board.
after several years, the area still looked fine on the outside.

Note that pull should only be applied on factory paint, can be disastrous on previously retouched spots.

A rock landed on my trunk lid right behind the area with a double wall. Had it fixed at Ortigas Autohub. The PDR tech recommended the same thing. He filled and repainted the hole after the repairs were done. I check it every now and then and noticed no rust streaks. That was more than a year ago.
