Hi guys, i just encountered an accident, can anyone advice on how much roughly the repair cost will be?
[IMG][/IMG]

 

Any damage underneath the hood? Behind the front bumper cover? Hard to tell from the pic

 

^+1, any headlight damage? looks like you rear ended someone... sorry to hear and hope you're okay

 

Also wouldnt ur insurance deductible handle this?

 

From the pics provided it only looks like you need a new hood and maybe a grille surround, which is all under $1,

 

hi all,
thanks for all the advice, underneath is not damaged i suppose as i still can start the engine and drive normally. perhaps a new hood and bumper? headlights i dont think they are dmg. so would be under 1k? thats quite a relief to hear, as this is my first time encountering such an incident

 

yes my insurance would be able to handle this, but if repair is cheaper, why not

 

If it is just the hood and grill I would expect 500-1000 at most w paint and labor. If theres more damage then def beyond 1000. Is your deductible more than 500?

 

can you explain what happened here? just curious..
looks like you rear ended someone, new hood + grill surround should be less than 1000$
also check your brakes if you rear ended someone.

 

location of the OP is singapore so i dont think any of us could give him an accurate repair price.

 

Replace hood, paint hood, replace hood hinges, replace grille, replace left headlamp tabs are broken most likely. Possibly rad support may be damaged based on the depth of the dent. Blend both fenders to color match with new hood, bumper has a deep scratch will require 1 hour repair and paint. Plus labor to Install hood. remove and install bumper to assist with repair, aim headlights etc. your looking at 2800+ usd I'm an estimator

Looks like you ran under a truck or higher vehicle.?��

 

Seems legit, and if you're in Singapore like previously stated, the currency exchange is nearly 1:1. I think 1USD is equal to 1.25 SGD, i just got back from there and it was nice not to have to multiply in your head while drinking at the bar. There's also no minimum wage i believe so I'm not sure if that will affect your labor costs.

Yeah but if I remember reading correctly somewhere - cars in Singapore, even with the exchange rate factored in are much much more expensive then here in the US.

I'm sure parts are a lot more expensive there too if that is the case....

 

lol there is no way that repair would be around or under 1k.
the hood alone is probably 600, plus paint.
that 2800 quote is looking a lot more realistic
