Sometime last may of this year my sister was driving my car hit a construction barrier and the car went over the gutter, damage drive shaft and broken axle was one of the major damages aside from the minor damages (dents and scratches). i went abroad for two months and let my sister transact to the insurance company and service center on my behalf. When i was abroad my sister kept updating me about the progress and unfortunately two months have passed i went back from abroad and the repair haven't been started yet. I asked my sister of the reasons and it seems to me that both the insurance and the service center (Hyundai Global) was guilty of the delay. Here are some of the reasons:
Service center:
1. When the car was brought in for repair the agent who handled my car went on AWOL, the car was stuck 2 months unnoticed at the center since no proper turnover was made to the one who is going to replace the AWOL agent. After the discovery that's the time they asked that we will be the one to contact with the insurance since my insurance is not under the said service center. Right and then we have complied all the requirements that that have asked for.
Insurance company:
1. It took a couple of weeks or more for the insurance estimator to visit the center and another week for the LOA to be handed down. To add to my 3 months of waiting already this time my patience is running out since to think 3 months is more than enough for the repair thinking it wasn't my fault why it got delayed that long.
Service center:
1. Since the LOA was given already i called the service center for the tentative date of completion of the repair. And i was told to hang on because some of the parts are not available in their plant and have to ship it from Korea. This time i don't want to be lenient on them and kept pestering them with telephone calls. As expected i was given with the usual answer that the shipment didn't arrive yet. And told me once they'll get it to they will give me call. This time its been 5 months of waiting already. They told me again that they are waiting for the mechanical parts. Kasi ikakabit daw muna para tumakbo ang kotse papapunta sa isang service center nila for the body paint (my point naman ksi is hndi ba nila pwedeng i-tow na lang at bakit kelangan pa na ung kotse mismo ang tumakbo para mailpiat nya ang sarili nya?which i think added to a very long delay na naman. Last week i called them again and a new agent entertained me telling me the previous agent resigned, though they told me that the reason why it reached up to 5 months because of the delay of the shipment, my best guess is that it was again not properly turned-over and natambakan na natambakan na naman ang papeles ko na hndi napapansin. the latest info they gave me is that relay na lng daw ang inaantay ksi hndi mag start ang kotse dhil kelangan ng relay replacement. Eh diba relay khit saan naman pude mabili yan at hndi ganun khirap mag procure nyan? When i asked them if by second week of January after the xmas break eh pude ko na mkuha ang kotse ko ang sbi naman nila they are not yet sure because ala daw pasok sa holiday season. You can't take it against me kung gusto ko sila murahin pero i still opted to remain professional instead. For the moment more than 6months na ang downtime ko. Plus the fact pa na 6 months na hndi tumatakbo ang kotse ko, hindi kaya sira na ang makina nun? tapos since ang parking area sa Hyundai Global is open, 6 months na rin na nakatambak ang kotse dun rain or shine khit may bagyo.
Kaya mga sirs im asking for your help if there is any other way to get any compensation for such delay. Actually hndi ko balak mag complain but as the months passed wala pa rin ako nakikitang progress.
