Message: <blockquote data-quote="cgui" data-source="post: 814853" data-attributes="member: 6002">Well VK9, knowing that u r in the insurance industry.. i'm sure u know why lar .. i'm also aware that there are alot of workshops in m'sia who r been "towing" cars to get spare parts. It has been an never ending story. all started to be more frequent since 1997. Guys wanna know why? Let me tell u a story .. back in 1997, our beloved Bank Negara have been receiving alot of complaints from vehicle owner about vehicle being repaired late, repair quality is not good, etc lar .. so wat BN did was .. to form a standardize part price & also labour rate to repair vehicles. These standardize part price is controlled by 1 company lar .. not going to name who... so when a car is being damage in a collision .. the w/shops will put in the quotation or estimate... & some will give trade discount also ... e.g. 10% ... of the standardize part price (some of these parts r lower price then wat is found in the market). when the insurance company authorize an estimate .. they will reduce the quoted price ... & include increase the discount fr. 10% to maybe 15% ... making it difficult for workshops to find these parts ... bare in mind .... cars below 5 years old .. must get OEM parts ... Therefore .. the alternative way of w/shops getting this parts r ... go around town... find a car that meets the requirement ... & "tarik" back .. & dismentle all the parts .... a whole car can be dismentle in just under 2 to 3 hours ... So that is why .. i've heard .... a Perodua Rusa was involve in a very bad collision .. the front piller (for those who don't know .. its the windscreen piller) collappes until the driver side .. w/shop estimate came to about RM14K .... & the insurance (name starts with "K". VK9 hope yr not working with them ... sorry mate) approve the estimate at RM1.9K .....unbelieveable .. but its true ...</blockquote>
