|
|
Hi,
I own a Fabia ambiente (Feb 2011 model). I had a minor accident last week.The front bumper is damaged and needs to be replaced.
Your inputs will help me immensly in taking a decision for replacement.
1) Have anybody got their front bumper replaced of late? If yes, what was the cost involved?
2) Any idea whether the Fabia spare parts / accessories are available outside the dealer network?(Any shops in Bangalore?)
3) Will the insurance cover the entire cost of replacement and labor?(Currently i have the comprehensive Tata-AIG insurance)
Thanks in advance for your suggestions
Regards,
Sandeep |

Do you really think you need to replace the front bumper?
Once by mistake I ran over the foot path, while taking it back the life side of the bumper came out with the screws and the iron connector got bent. I got it fixed for Rs 2.5K from local guy in kanakapura road. He did complete re-painting to the bumper matching to the body color.
If you have insurance (Bumper to bumper) then get it done from skoda service center. |

Bumper replacement should cost you in the range of 8-10k including the painting and labor.
If you have zero depreciation add on for your insurance then you just have to pay a co-pay amount of 500-1000/-
If not then you may have to pay upto 40-50% of the cost.
Being in Bangalore you can take Rudy's help for outside service. I think they will do the job in front of you. With service center you may have to be without car for a few days. _________________ Robin |

Might be late but this is the latest cost.
Bumper cost [old model or new face lifted model] - 10000 + tax
Removal and re-fixing bumper - 450 + tax
Painting cost - 3500K + tax
expect some more labour + misc exp to be added..

Hi,
I finally got the front bumper replaced @ Vinayak Skoda, B'lore. They've done a neat job. However, they took a week's time for it. Luckily, i had Bumper 2 Bumper insurance from ICICI Lombard and they covered the expenses, around 12K. |
