Can it be repaired?

[Sedanlover]

hingi po ako ng opinion nyo. ano po ang best way to repair ung ganitong damage.

[bxr monkey]

Puwede dalhin sa suking talyer. Maayos iyan, tapos order din sa glass shop.

puede. but latero has to be very good, as windshield frame geometry must be restored, to avoid water leak.

Pwede din bumili ng roof cut na lang. Baka mas iwas ng sakit ng ulo in the long run.

Ano nga bang car iyan? Medyo hindi ko maaninag.

do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do

[yapoy86]

nabagsakan yata ng branch or buko yan.. pwede pa tuwid yan..

kung roof cut, dapat magaling yung gagawa kasi mahirap pag pantayin yan..

nag quote ang shop 45k labor, latero, paint job, pati install ng backglass
option ko rin po ang roof cut. pero considering baguio pa po ang location ko ung pag ship ng roofcut e mahirap. and tataas daw po ng 55k ang labor if roof cut ang ggwin

nakabili nko ng surplus backglass all orignal *2k, driver side tail light, antenna
ung headliner sabi may yupi na daw kaso mukhang sasadyain ko nalang sa manila ang headliner kasi pwedeng mayupi ito during shipping. tumatannggi mga nakausap ko na seller..

nabagsakan po yan ng pine tree, buti nalang po hindi nasandwhich totally, ung branch lang po ang tumama, if hindi nakatali ung puno possible sandwhich po ang sasakyan.

as sa insurance naman po, 3 years na po ung last comprehensive insurance ng sasakyan hindi nko nakapag compre. insurance kasi medyo mabigat po.

ung repair na gagawin po nila is unat unatin po nila, ung mga pillars na nabent, tinignan ko internally wala namang bent sa labas lang talaga.. nasa 50/50 parin po ako na ibenta ung sasakyan lalo pag hindi maganda ang pagkaayos ng shop.

Maaayus yan. Bantayan mo lang pra sure na tama ang paglatero hindi tapal-tapal ang gagawin. Medyo mahal yung 45k pero kung wala Kang bang shop option dyan sa lugar mo, then I hope you get your money's worth. Goodluck!

while parts replacement is a tangible amount,
car fixers are like artists. their skills are something of an art.
if we get uncomfortable whenever someone makes tawad to the bone our fees,
the same with lateros and pintors.

there is this cartoon strip (which i paraphrase)...
the costumer was rattling out to the manager, the counter prices of the various parts and consumables, and comparing them to the cost of repair he felt he was being overcharged with.
the manager's retort: "my apologies. i did not know m'sieu was refering to the do-it-yourself price."


we can make bantay all we want.
but if we have no idea of what it's all about...
heh heh.

medyo no choice ako sa shop, kasi ung time na un ung mga ibang shop hindi nila maaccomodate.
and ung shop na pinagpagawaan ko sila pa ung pumunta dun sa area, nag estimate at nag dala sa shop nila.
ang gusto ko lang sana is mabalik sya sa datii. un lang, di naman sguro na apektuhan ung shocks sa likod or what kasi hindi naman dumapa ung sasakyan nung nahulugan.

[ice15]

its a 12 year old car... those shocks were gone even before malaglagan sya ng pine tree

I think 45K is reasonable... mahirap talaga gawin yan

+1 on the roof cut. Re-scalped a Civic w/o welds a while back....not from collision damage but by stubborn rust. Honda used the wrong sealant on PhDM units of that era. The JDM roof had 0 corrosion & got the proper scalp-frame adhesive.

Your pillars, repaired or transplanted, must be carefully aligned relative to doors & windshields. This will be skill-dependent. Look for a good builder.

i had a colleague,
nabagsakan ng puno yung kotse niya.
pipi ang bubong. basag the windshield. sayad sa lupa ang ilalim.
he had the car repaired. i saw the car afterward, and it looked fine.
but "it was not the same after that", according to him. "it drove fine, but it felt different". real or psychological?
he sold it shortly after restoration.

I'm guessing alignment or weight distribution issues...

Nung ay Taxi pa kami (90s-2000). may Corolla E90 na binenta sa amin at a very very low price, sabi ng neighbors, turn turtle daw sa NLEX yung car and they thought it was a total wreck pero inayos pa din ng casa (they also confirmed na no one died inside the car)

After a year in our fleet, my dad decided to sell the car (as private). His reason, the alignment was so off yung isang gulong ang bilis mapudpod.

IMO, having the car repaired depends on the damage and perceived value of the car.

[dr. d]

i know of relatives,
benta the car after major accident, even at a perceived loss. hindi na pinagawa. "as-is-where-is".
"no hassles".

same with our family, aside from the hassle and like mentioned, it's not the same anymore, parang malas na. My brother is accident prone and has been in countless car accidents, may sa pusa nga daw. LOL! My Dad used to get mad over my brother's car mishaps pero pag tagal hindi na because he told me he doesn't want to stress over it anymore, kapag major accident benta na lang

Palagay ko may hidden structural damage na yung kotse.

Yung inayos nung casa bodywork lang. Kumbaga sa tao, nagpa facelift,bustlift, botox etc. to look younger, but underneath all that, yung biological age remains the same.

I'm sure kahit anong gawin ng casa. di naman talaga mababalik sa "good as new" state yung sasakyan.

That's the problem, coz according to Neil Young, rust never sleeps [emoji16]
