my guess is, new items were constantly being discovered, necessitating back-and-forth talks between the repairer and the payer.

parts.
if the replacement parts are brand new, depreciation might have to be added to the car owner's tab. insurance does not cover depreciation.
but if owner brings in the replacement parts, whether new or surplus, then insurance won't have to bill for depreciation nor for parts.

i suspect,
the repair facility and the insurance provider are not on very friendly terms.
i suspect, the insurance adjuster or whatever he is called, may not be effective in doing his job of being the middleman between insurer and repairer (and costumer?).

the casa.
some repair jobs are done in-casa.
other repair jobs are sourced out.

note: i have seen better repair jobs from shops that are non-casa.

Regarding parts. Brand new yun kotse sabi niya na accident same month ng binili niya June of last year.
No depreciation for the parts.

here's the accident, other damages are more of pang-ilalim, shocks, cross-member assembly, knuckles, etc

Sorry for the confusion. Hindi brand new ang kotse, 2014 pa ang sasakyan. Dun ko lang dinala kung saan ko binili.

2014 model pa po yan, what i was trying to say is same month ng accident dinala ko na din po sa casa.

C5 going to BGC, dump truck on truck lane bigla na lang cut sa #1 lane kung asaan kami. Kinabig ko na pa bangketa while breaking para hindi kami abutan pero inabot pa din at na push na kami ng tuluyan sa bangketa kaya nasira ang left suspension ko.

Masipag naman si FTEB mediation, just got an email following up the status of my repair. hopefully sila na ang mag push para ma-prioritize naman ang sasakyan namin.

I can feel the frustration, followup kang followup wala nangyayari then magtuturuan pa pag ganyan. Then no results from DTI. If gagamit ka na ng abogado baka mas malaki pa gagastusin mo kesa sa pag settle dyan. Have you considered tulfo?

I feel you bro.

Ako I've more or less given up na on CASAs. Lucky lang to have a friend who owns a repair shop and is nearby. If your car is available in the US market you can often buy and ship in any part you need for significantly cheaper than it will cost to source locally, let alone buy from the CASA. Our local car industry is built on bilking the consumer.
