By the way, do not pay them based on the repair estimate, usually bloated kasi yun. Normally less mga 20%-50% ang actual cost niyan, depende sa talyer/casa. Kaya nga laging may nakalagay sa estimate na "This estimate cannot be used in court" or something to that effect. Like I said before, have it repaired via their insurance company muna instead of paying it outright. 2 reasons: One, that will give you time to save since hindi pa naman sila kaagad mangongolekta. Sometimes, it takes them months to prepare for their recovery. Two, insurance companies are good negotiators since they already know the ins and outs (in other words, kalokohan) ng mga talyer/casa. So you are assured that what you are paying for would be reasonable. Hope this helps.
