I agree with what the others have said.
With the hype in Straits Times the week before the previous about the pushing of fault between workshops, lawyers and such, i recall one such forumer citing an example of over-claiming. However, the assessment body pput up an apt rebuttal and showed the demise of the wreck, hence it was justifiable.
But this 7.5k claim for rims AND tyres really takes the cake. I'm sure if you sent this to straits times or the new paper(they are always keen on saucy news), there would be nothing short of an uproar. The auntie might not be the one at fault, i think the workshop was the one trying to play punk.
Please bring this matter to light. other auto forums may not have as much impact as the papers;
enough of nonsense from these morons.
