    our brand new vehicle was involved in a self inflicted accident.(full size american suv 2014 model)

    the quarter panel was totally screwed.(double walled hence no anti dent patch up would work to my dismay)

    i got the quotation from the casa and they told me that it would cost more than 6 figures to fix it up, our insurance premium is actually beyond the normal price that we would shell out in our other vehicle(usually PhP. 3,000 but the premium for a full size suv is based on the percentage of the price)

    First I tried to scout for a cheaper alternative hence i went to a first class repair shop and they quoted me for PhP. 25,000(half less than my premium price) and thoroughly asked them how would they repair it since it is a double walled panel.- they're response was, to drill a hole to be able to reach the damage portion and to use specialize tools to bring it back in order and it would take 4 days to repair it-SAME THING THE CASA EXPLAINED TO ME SINCE THE DAMAGE IS NOT STRUCTURAL AND WOULD NOT AFFECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE VEHICLE-in the casa it will take about a month to repair it(prior to this i also asked an ordinary talyer how they would fix it up and told me that they would need to cut it using a blow torch-OUCH).

    when I was about to have it repaired in a first class shop in makati, a high ranking officer stopped me and told me "sayang pera mo, pagawa mo yan kay vic"- I went to vic's place and I out rightly got disgusted by the place, imagine tolda lang ang bubong tapos yung lupa ay lupa talaga kaya maputik. I tried to ask vic the same question i asked the casa and the first class repair shop in makati... he had the same answer... then i got adamant about the paint, i asked paano mo makukuha yung kulay, his reply was if di namin makuha kulay huwag mo kaming bayaran. Then i asked for the price he told me PhP. 5,000 and it will take a day and a half.

    The afp high ranking officer insisted to give him a try, despite my doubts... but sa hiya ko sige pumayag ako.

    first day, they went into my house(i insisted sa bahay gawin kasi i dont see there place safe baka matamaan yung salamin ng kung ano at lalo pa mapagastos), natawa ako kasi dami nilang nakalimutan tulad ng flower screws and so on... but when they started working I got suprised... in a matter of mintues naayos na yung dent... and each person has it's own unique skill, isa painter lang, isa metal craft, isa polishing and i talked to them and I found out they used to work in opel, bmw, audi, honda, toyota and overseas.

    sila din ang may hawak sa repair ng lifeline arrows ambulances and other(although under the table since they are not registered with the b.i.r.(meaning if company car yan it cannot be deducted under business expense)- for crying out loud di naman ganun kalaki kita nila at di sila ganun kalaki mag presyo)

    they are old but one of the best, even the one who mixed up the paint is awesome, better than most computer assisted paint recognition.

    kaya ayun pati mga lumang auto sa kanila ko na pinaayos.

    complete sila sa mga tao, for electricals and the works, tapos dinadayo sila ng mga afp and pnp officers.

    they asked 2k for materials and the rest if they did a satisfactory job- which they did!

    i would want to post some photos but for securities sake's i wouldn't.

    if you want to get their contact info i will share it.

    not connected to them in any way

    Pa pm rin sakin details, kelangan ko rin paayos ng kaunting rust sa kotse. Baka pwede rin sa kanila. Sana kahit upload mo lang pics ng damage before and after repair, no need to include their faces.

    Not really pertaining to their identities or yours', am saying yung part na ginawa. Kinda pointless mag recommend kung walang shots ng isang paint / body repair shop

    any photo would include a background and the repair was made in our house (even a focus shot on the damage portion would not suffice as 3d camera has not yet been invented or if it was, we don't have one), a little common sense would suffice.

    securities (plural)- includes not only our identities but a whole lot more.

    I am just sharing an experience nothing more, don't take my word for it, hence the tittle Muntinlupa's hidden talents.

    already sent his contact info to those who ask.

    Please expect questions if you start your own thread. There is no room for hostility in this forum. The members were asking you legit questions for clarifications and your answers were very insolent. Please do not insult other people's "common sense" nor give unnecessary grammar lessons.

    If you are going to keep up with this attitude, this thread will be closed.

    Parang di kapani paniwala. Pics lang nung damaged part ayaw pa pakita, dami pang dahilan.

    Pwede namang i edit ang background or i crop ang said part. Pero a little common sense daw wouldn't hurt not fanning the flames

    My pet peeved yun feeling pa star na kailangan pa I-pm for details. Ano bang problema Kung I post na yun contact details ng highly recommend na shop?

    As if naman meron planong kidnapping at I-murder ng mga tao yan vic.

    For the longest time Mang Mario was a highly recommended A/C shop here his address is openly posted then speedy fix just to name a few. Last time I heard they're still alive.

    And isa pang bwsisit eh yun hinde I post yun price ng nabili or pinagawa. Pm niyo na Lang ako for details...pa star, bwisit!

    Oh yun mga naka receive na ng Very precious details ni Vic post niyo na dito, Kung takot kayo ewan ko Kung bakit PM niyo Sa akin ako na lang mag post.

    As for the photos what BS security reason kaya hinde na post? Paano ka ba mag take ng photo ng pinapagawa mo? Selfie style? An doon yun mukha mo sa ginagawanh part ng kotse or baka naman pati yun background eh kinukunan mo?

    Kahit nga selfie eh pwede mo I-crop then ilong mo lang I post dito hinde ka pa rin makikilala, yun before and after pic pa kaya ng damage.

    Know where you can have the best fried chicken but can't tell you where due to security concerns because VIPs (some of them arriving in brand new 2014 model full sized American SUVs) eat there and the owner (not German) and cook are in the most wanted list. Can't show you the pictures since people might find out the secret recipe. Also can't say how much it costs because of another hundred excuses.

    perhaps it would have been better if he just said, "sorry but i don't know how to upload pictures".

    but seriously, why all this fuss? is someone forcing you to do something against your will?
    there are lots of threads that say, "this guy is great! here's his contact number.".... Tapos!
