chop chop fast fast... all done within 30 days!�

TEK are selling the touch up paint, try ask them... got this information from a good lobang bro....:)

�

�

accidentally bang the edge of my car door when filling up cheap petrol in JB petrol kiosk

I'm pretty sure the whole car is made using milo tin can material as it was just a light tap when i was opening the door....

�

got a slight dent on the edge of car door with some paint chipping off...�

�

Any bros here can advise where i can repair the dent and the paint?

Do JDM do light repairs like this since Im planning to do some mod there?

�

Hope my friend is just joking when he told me have to respray the whole door..

�

Immediately after the accident, i hoped you filed the case to your insurer.

If u had done that, and uncle did not, this is what happen:
1, AD will most likely do 3rd party claim. As what mentioned by other bros, this will ensure they can get money back from your insurer.
2, Assuming u have proof u r winning the case, your insurer will file a case to the uncle's insurer. If uncle never report the accident, good luck to him. He will have to pay for the repair.

About point 2, I'm not sure will your insurer get a lawyer to claim from uncle. Else u will have to get your lawyer then. From my experience, if your car is sent to outside workahop to repair, they will engage lawyer to get the money back from uncle, or his insurer.

Anyway, good luck.

Hi , just want to clarify.. see whether i am wrong on my summary on car insurance,

�

for any accident if its the other driver's fault, either:

�

1. Claim his insurance and report to my own insurance.

�

2. Private settlement and report to my own insurance for record purposes.

�

for this case, how come the AD and 3rd party claim come into the picture? Is it becos that the car is still under warranty?

�

In normal circumstances, if the other driver is at fault, do i need to pay for the repair from my own pocket 1st while waiting for my insurance to claim from his insurance? Is it safer to wait till the verdict and confirm that the other party is at fault before reparing? I assume the other driver's insurance will also "fight" for him and claim that he is not at fault... no?

Anyone collected the car? What is the omv?

Answering your questions:
1, if its obviously not your fault and when you send your car to workshops, u will need to notify your insurer (workshop will take care) and the other party insurer will pay. However, there are scenario they will need u to absorb some of the cost (pay by your insurer) if its a 80-20 case. I can't remember, i think 20% and below your next insurance premium will not be affected.

2, if private settlement, report to your insurer regardless claiming thru insurance or not for record purposes only. This is to prevent the other party claiming again from you even though its privately settled.

3, not all workshops (for example, for Borneo Motor last time, now i not sure) they do not do insurance claim. The reason is payment will be lengthy going thru all the investigation and disagreement between insurance companies. Hence, they will not do 1st party claim. In this case, either 3rd party claim (that means claim your own insurance), or pay by your own cash.

4, for normal claims and assuming u r certain is the other party at fault, go ahead and claim. At most liabilty will only be 20% on u (as above, i cannot remember is it 20% and premium will not be affected).

5, to wait or not is subjective especially for 50-50 case. Verdict will take months and years especailly if it involves injuries. Most ppl will repair first and see how it goes. This also explain why some cars u see have damages that are left not repaired driving on the roads, especailly those damages on the side of vehicles.

woh Nicktham, same here. I'll be getting my car tomorrow too (at 11am).

my SE tell me 4pm... i tell him i will be there early...since need to take half day still.. so exciting, hahahaha... what's ur colour? mine is Titanium sedan =)

Thanks for the very detail write up...

�

For Point 1. , if i fork out this 20% , will i be able to get it back?

�

For Point 3. are you referring to AD listed workshop (within warranty period) which don't do 1st party claim? If do 3rd party claim and claim my own insurance, will it affect my NCD and how will the AD workshop reimburse me back the money?

�

�

Bro... i supposed I'm very clear... i specifically use the words "paid by your insurer".

�

Answering you:

1, For point 1 u mentioned, you will NOT pay by your cash. Its by your insurer! To agree to 20% at fault is only for "ease of settlement". I was once involved in a chain collision involving 3 cars. I'm in the sandwiched victim. I already stopped my car and didn't hit the front car, but as the impact of the rear car is so strong and causes me to slightly touch the front car. So my insurance company requested me to take 20% of the fault to settle the case. Of course, on the condition that it will not affect my NCD and next year premium.

.�

2, For point 3 you mentioned, it has nothing to do with warranty. Its up to you where you want to repair your car. But of course going back to agent will be better in case water leaks etc (although outside workshop will warranty you on this). If it is a listed workshop, they should do 1st party claim (from what i had experience with Borneo Motor, they are listed, but they only do 3rd party claim. So if you do 3rd party claim, your NCD and premium for next year will be affected not unless proven not your fault. Like i mentioned, if you do 3ed party claim, your do NOT have to come out cash. Not unless you are not doing a claim then you pay by your own cash. If you not claiming insurance, can you tell me where will AD workshop get money to reimburse you?

�

Bro... u need to differentiate between paying your own cash, and claiming insurance... claim insurance you do not need to pay (be it 1st or 3rd party). But your NCD and premium for the next year will be affected though.

�

So to claim or not, you have to weigh how much cash you need to come out. In my opinion, anything less than $500 (or even $1k!), pay yourself and forget about claiming from insurance. With NCD affected (it will drag you for a few years not enjoying 50% NCD) plus the increase in premium, it may not be worth it to do a claim if you think yourself is at fault.

Hi M3 owners, wanted to find out yr feel abt yr M3. I havent test drive yet. Comparing if to fork out 10k more for the qashqai to altis. Saw youtube reviews from malaysia that it is underpower?
Any SE to recommend (lengkee or ubi)? Whats are the freebies that you got? Last weekend Toyota slashes price of Altis to $99K for elegance model and interest rate to 2.38%. Same for mazda, they also slash rate to 2.38%.
Was at lengkee last sun, mazda and toyota pack with people. So didnt get to test drive.
Only Nissan didnt. Lol. Told me Coe down 3k and they slash 5K frm their car price.

Mz3 - Solid build, continental feel, MIJ, fuel efficient, packed with features for this category, nice to drive.

�

U say Altis 99k and Qashqai selling 10k more that Altis... that means QQ selling at 109k?? I test drive QQ before and its a good car. Power wise ok. However, i worry turbo need more maintenance though and that's 1 concern i didn't go for it.

�

Altis, u will never go wrong with Toyota. Reliability is always what people talk about. But the features compared to Mz3 and QQ... u see for yourself. When i see the steering wheel, i already got turn off... Oops...

Malaysia side only has 2.0 mazda 3. While local market has 1.5 and 2.0. If they are complaining their mazda 3 underpowered, they don't know how envy I am for them being able to drive the 2.0 mazda 3. 1.5 for our roads I feel is adequate while 2.0 will definitely be breezy.

For me, doesn't matter, just go feel the car and test drive and get the car you like. :) what other said doesn't really matter because at the end of the day you must like it.

To me, buy what you like and able to afford. Thats all!

Altis, Mz 3 and QQ all look very different.

I have driven my M3 for 1 month, roughly 4 weeks so my experience.�

�

Week 1: This is all the excitements and stuffs. Everything is good about M3!!! Obviously biased...

�

Week 2: Everything still good except..... you know underpowered, slow acceleration, how to stop the istop �maybe noisy, maybe this and that. Ask in forum here and there, ask this and that....

�

Week 3: Self realisation. Beginning to understand why Mazda engineers are so smart, begin to understand the car better and the car starts to understand me better. Building the mystic bond between man and his machine.�

�

Week 4: Which is where I am here right now. Very happy with the ride, nice cruising, family/friends/colleagues love the continental feel. Can control the istop rather nicely now, if not just off it, it is ok. Leather seat is seasoned to my butt now. Super love the FC, have been driving from north-east to south singapore every working day and back, petrol can last for about 8 days (just let you have an idea). Going to pump petrol again, will post the latest FC (I drive less gu nia these days). Interestingly, I feel the car's acceleration improves alot recently, fast and smooth and I didn't even rev hard (maybe I lost weight??? haha). I like the engine sounds, not that it is noisy, the insulation is just nice and I love how the engine sounds when I am cruising with my music on. Currently, my ride is at Mazda servicing right now and after this, looking forward to PPS at the end of the week.

�

Mazda is not the cheapest or most competitive among the other cars you are looking at. There are many mazda bros on the road, perhaps too many, haha, so this car speaks for itself..... All I can say is no regrets so far, I pay more but get alot more for my ride for the next 10 years.

�

Feel sorry for your case too, kena sandwich also need to absorb 20%, its totally not your fault lo...
�

Hope u have read properly...

Although i LL gotta admit 20% is my fault, but insurer paid, not me. And moreover it doesn't affect ny NCD or premium for the next year, so everything is "transparent" to me.

But i buay song because its not my fault! Anyway, it was years ago... History liao lol

To me, buy what you like and able to afford. Thats all!

Altis, Mz 3 and QQ all look very different.

Gotta agree with u... Different league also. Suv vs saloon.

not only welcome to Zoom Zoom and it shld be welcome to the mod section too...there is tons of poison in this thread on mod...:)

Hahaha... true to that plenty to mod...

Welcome to the world of mods (poisons actually )

Thanks for sharing. Why i try the QQ cos never try suv b4 then wanted to follow trend cos vezel & QQ quite popular.
For mazda, inlaw keep saying, u buy u will regret. Toyota more reliable. But that was 10 to 20 yrs when he drive a mazda. I like the design alot but dnt knw abt the fc and how is the built or handling. Im driving a 06 altis, the engine is awesome but drive not to my liking but its reliable after i stop gng to Borneo for servicing. Hehe. Thai made car is not good unless the quality is better nw since: City, altis, camry, sylphy & hrv all made in thai.

Mazda has come a long way. I still remember my old man used to own an old 323 in the 90s. The car was unreliable and drank fuel like no tomorrow.

I think Mazda started to get things right with the 1st gen Mazda 3.

Btw guys. Read some bad after service from euro at sgcarmart m3 reviews. It is so bad. Same with komoco and even tan chong. What is happening? Anyways wats the different between the norm and deluxe to command 6k more?

Cannot expect us to spoon feed you for a 100k purchase. Might as well buy Altis if you want spoonfeeding.

how high is the cost for the stockist part? Can quote some example?

E.g cabin air filter $35 from race course road Mazda stockist

Care to share the race course road shop that sell Mazda parts?

Do u guy do like detailing, front back blackvue cam or anything to get the ride better and more responsive. Upsize yr wheel to 17"? Better go see specs again else kanna quote for spoon feeding again. ;)

�

I didn't sign up for detailing. My sales person threw in a Blaupunkt front camera so didn't get any Blackvue cameras. However, I did get a Blackvue camera for my previous car which I found to be really good. IMO, no need to get camera for the back. What for? If someone hits your rear, 90% is their fault, unless you reversed into him. Front camera will capture that anyway.

�

Detailing and car cameras will not make your ride better and more responsive. However, I had a lot of decals on my previous ride. It was Spoon theme stickers. Did it at Johnson at Ubi. I read somewhere each sticker gave me 2 hp. Then the windshield glare shield gave extra 5 cos it is bigger.

�

I traded in my wheels for 17 inch. I recommend you to do it IMMEDIATELY after collecting your ride to get most trade-in value. Value goes down based on your mileage. I got Yokohama advan dB tyres. Quiet and nice. I like. Do research and recce before you get your car so you can go straight after collecting your ride and so you can indent if the workshop doesn't have ready stock.

�

Yes, just go to sgcarmart and find the difference between Deluxe and Standard.

I used to buy from both places.. Prices are more or Less then same.. For example.. Some items at chin hon is cheap compared to fong tat but other items at fong tat is cheaper than chin hon.. I prefer chin hon as they can accept both nets and cash but fong tat only accept cash.. There is another mazda stockist sin guan hin auto parts...

Hi , just want to clarify.. see whether i am wrong on my summary on car insurance,

for any accident if its the other driver's fault, either:

1. Claim his insurance and report to my own insurance.

2. Private settlement and report to my own insurance for record purposes.

for this case, how come the AD and 3rd party claim come into the picture? Is it becos that the car is still under warranty?

In normal circumstances, if the other driver is at fault, do i need to pay for the repair from my own pocket 1st while waiting for my insurance to claim from his insurance? Is it safer to wait till the verdict and confirm that the other party is at fault before reparing? I assume the other driver's insurance will also "fight" for him and claim that he is not at fault... no?

Yes you are right for point 1 and 2. There is 2 kind of claim own insurance claim and 3rd party claim.

Own insurance claim- you will need to report to and repair at your insurance assign report center and workshop. For new Mazda car under , under AIG is at Eurokars workshop. For this type of claim, Eurokars will wait for AIG to authorize the repair. On the back end, AIG snap picture and will get the other driver insurance down to snap picture than discuss liability and percentage of payment. Let say 20%. Your fault. AIG authorize the repair and will absorb the 20% and claim 80% from the other driver insurance. but you pay the access if any. Than next year premium increase because you claim 20% from your insurance company but NCD remain. ( by Singapore law- 30% fault and above will deduct NCD). AD like this kind of claim because sure get payment and fast. Immediately they will order your spares.

3rd party claim- you report your own insurance , can walk into any workshop but due warranty issue AD workshop is preferred. Most workshop will wait until liability confirm than start order spares for repair. Than the workshop or AD in this case will call the other driver insurance to snap picture. Than it will depend how much they want to take the liability. For 3rd party claim, No access to pay. But will have to pay your share of liability. Their guide is side by side incident 50 percent each. Rear got ram in , victim 20% -aggressor 80%. Than you can contest the liability by consult and engaging a lawyer if unhappy with the liability. Most workshop will have a partner lawyer to back you up. But AD don't.( from my Feb experience, Eurokars only do 100% other party fault, lesser than that they will not do the repair) Once AD confirm someone will pay the repair than they will accept your car for repair.

Let's say other insurance awarded 20% fault to you and you send your car to preferred workshop, by right you will need to pay the 20% of the repair cost. But they normally will ballon the price as much as they can and try to cover the 20% of your liability. This process more lengthy. But will have lesser impact on your next year premium. You can show AIG the discharge letter from the other driver insurance, case closed.

So from my own opinion, like what bro edd say not too major damage dun claim. Do private settlement. If major accident not very sure can get 0% fault and car can't move but you need car badly than LL claim your own insurance.

If damn sure no fault with camera evidence , eye witness , driver admit fault , etc ... Or willing to pay a little bit of money, if cannot get 0% liability and very mindful about insurance premiums than go for 3rd party claim.

If you want to send car to preferred workshop than Better dun let AD know just in case warranty void. Eg my scenario , rear door kanna bang, if do at other workshop, door warranty void , power window void , speaker void and any wiring link with the door parts all void. So you better decide properly.

Sorry for my lengthy explanation..

Was wondering they have bonnet insulator.. Can't seem to find it.. Lok

maybe can try google for Mazda 6 bonnet insulator instead. As in the past we order from Japan parts.com and the part number was tag to Mazda 6. Mz3 part catalog does not consist bonnet insulator. Hopefully you can find yours soon..

Mazda has come a long way. I still remember my old man used to own an old 323 in the 90s. The car was unreliable and drank fuel like no tomorrow.

I think Mazda started to get things right with the 1st gen Mazda 3.

Speaking of which... one of our old ancestors is being sold now, complete with gaffer tape:

It's easy to DIY. Usually, the intake box is secured by 3-4 clips. It's as simple as unclipping them to change the filter.

I used to buy from both places.. Prices are more or Less then same.. For example.. Some items at chin hon is cheap compared to fong tat but other items at fong tat is cheaper than chin hon.. I prefer chin hon as they can accept both nets and cash but fong tat only accept cash.. There is another mazda stockist sin guan hin auto parts...
Bo stock at the moment...
Toyota altis original cabin air filter cost Ard 23$.. I just bought for my dad car last week

Haven't try asking them, but can diy. Access should locate behind glove compartment. TEK changed mine at 10000k servicing last year. Counter stuff say it's 1 off free replacement . Not sure what's the new practice now..

Oh you were talking about cabin filter? Sibei paiseh haha.

Yes you are right for point 1 and 2. There is 2 kind of claim own insurance claim and 3rd party claim.

Own insurance claim- you will need to report to and repair at your insurance assign report center and workshop. For new Mazda car under , under AIG is at Eurokars workshop. For this type of claim, Eurokars will wait for AIG to authorize the repair. On the back end, AIG snap picture and will get the other driver insurance down to snap picture than discuss liability and percentage of payment. Let say 20%. Your fault. AIG authorize the repair and will absorb the 20% and claim 80% from the other driver insurance. but you pay the access if any. Than next year premium increase because you claim 20% from your insurance company but NCD remain. ( by Singapore law- 30% fault and above will deduct NCD). AD like this kind of claim because sure get payment and fast. Immediately they will order your spares.

3rd party claim- you report your own insurance , can walk into any workshop but due warranty issue AD workshop is preferred. Most workshop will wait until liability confirm than start order spares for repair. Than the workshop or AD in this case will call the other driver insurance to snap picture. Than it will depend how much they want to take the liability. For 3rd party claim, No access to pay. But will have to pay your share of liability. Their guide is side by side incident 50 percent each. Rear got ram in , victim 20% -aggressor 80%. Than you can contest the liability by consult and engaging a lawyer if unhappy with the liability. Most workshop will have a partner lawyer to back you up. But AD don't.( from my Feb experience, Eurokars only do 100% other party fault, lesser than that they will not do the repair) Once AD confirm someone will pay the repair than they will accept your car for repair.

Let's say other insurance awarded 20% fault to you and you send your car to preferred workshop, by right you will need to pay the 20% of the repair cost. But they normally will ballon the price as much as they can and try to cover the 20% of your liability. This process more lengthy. But will have lesser impact on your next year premium. You can show AIG the discharge letter from the other driver insurance, case closed.

So from my own opinion, like what bro edd say not too major damage dun claim. Do private settlement. If major accident not very sure can get 0% fault and car can't move but you need car badly than LL claim your own insurance.

Sorry for my lengthy explanation..

�

Bro, thanks for the info, the more lengthy the better, your explanation best, is even more detail and easy to understand.

�

Own insurance claim = 1st party insurance claim = claim own insurance = might affect premium and NCD

�

3rd party insurance claim = claim from the other party insurance = no affect on premium and NCD� , am i right?

�

Refer back to your 1st example, "Own insurance claim- you will need to report to and repair at your insurance a..." , isn't this consider a 3rd party claim as it involve claiming 80% from the other party insurance ?

�

Sorry for being "Lor soh" , just trying to get a clearer pic on how the car insurance mechanism works and to be equiped on what to do in the event of accident , "touch wood"...lol

I didn't sign up for detailing. My sales person threw in a Blaupunkt front camera so didn't get any Blackvue cameras. However, I did get a Blackvue camera for my previous car which I found to be really good. IMO, no need to get camera for the back. What for? If someone hits your rear, 90% is their fault, unless you reversed into him. Front camera will capture that anyway.

�

Detailing and car cameras will not make your ride better and more responsive. However, I had a lot of decals on my previous ride. It was Spoon theme stickers. Did it at Johnson at Ubi. I read somewhere each sticker gave me 2 hp. Then the windshield glare shield gave extra 5 cos it is bigger.

�

I traded in my wheels for 17 inch. I recommend you to do it IMMEDIATELY after collecting your ride to get most trade-in value. Value goes down based on your mileage. I got Yokohama advan dB tyres. Quiet and nice. I like. Do research and recce before you get your car so you can go straight after collecting your ride and so you can indent if the workshop doesn't have ready stock.

�

Yes, just go to sgcarmart and find the difference between Deluxe and Standard.

�

Hmm.. adding car sticker will boost hp?�� hp = horse power?

Got put Trackie 667 stickers bo?� [;)] �

I love the swan design of Spoon and also the Type One sticker.

1st point own insurance claim correct. 2nd pt abit wrong in the sense that, if your liability fall within 30-100 at fault . Your NCD will be affected. But premium not affected.( because you have to pay from your own pocket).

As for point 3, you will be claiming 100% from your own insurance but after they pay out to workshop, they will bill the other party insurance company. Thanks why it's 1st party claim.

It's good to know all this. It might come in handy and know your option is the best.

Some said add 5 house power.. Lol...

Just to reduce noise
Anyone hop around petrol kiosk? What petrol is best for mazda 3?

i tried esso, spc and Caltex. comparing 98 between�95. 98 gives better mileage. As for which brand, I still monitoring.

so far my best mileage came from 97, the correction tape brand from across the border [laugh]

incomparison with spc 95 and 98. 95 slightly rough but still do-able. 98 is powerful but wallet big hole

The Japanparts have reply me with the link to our bonnet insulator. This is the company we bought from. But it's the 1 piece deal link. In the past There is a group buy 15 piece deal . Maybe you can email them to find out further. I paid about $125 for the bonnet insulator including shipping. As for the studs get from local stockist .

https://www.japanpar...ts/detail/46577

I'm about to pull the trigger this weekend on the Standard Sedan.

�

Been searching around various forums and seems like the window tinting is a standard freebie. What are the other freebies I can ask for other than the usual in car cameras, free servicing etc.

�

My last question sounds kind of silly but I'm also planning to get a set of sports rims. Is there anyway that I can reject the stock tyres and rims in return for some freebies or rebates?

U can try asking to reject their stock wheels and tires. When collecting car, may i know how u plan to drive the car out without wheels and tires?

Anyone interested in this? Bought from Aliexpress and decided not to install it. $10.

my friend done before, he buy his choice of rim n tyre from other workshop, then arrange it to deliver to AD, then AD take out the stock wheel and install the new wheel. Then the workshop take back the stock wheel.

More importantly is how much rebate did your friend received?
