  1. Hi, I need some advice. I recently bumped my car to a wall and the front left door and the front bumper got badly damaged. The insurance agent(A*****z) quoted 35,000/- but the damages looked like it would cost more. I asked him and he said if it cost more to talk to the insurance company. I received the 35,000/- in 2 days. So now what should I do? Should i go to my garage and get an estimate for the repairs and if its higher than what the insurance quoted should i contact them? Or will the garage deal with them directly? I have a bad feeling that this is going to drag so i need your advice on how to approach this correctly please.
  2. I recently changed a tyre which is re-conditioned. Its a Pirelli tyre and not much tread wear but it was loosing air through a puncture possibly caused by a nail. So i got it patched and the air was still leaking. So they tried to patch in 2 layers and it was still leaking. They said since patching isn't working they recommended to try put a tube. I don't know much about tires but i know its a tubeless tyre so how does putting a tube in a tubeless tyre fix it? (sorry if i sounded dumb)..or is there a better way to fix?
  3. How much does an engine mount cost?
  4. Hi, quick question, what's the cheapest and best tyre for Vitz (165/70/R14)?

      165 70R14 is the stock tyre wheel and tyre size for the Vitz which means the most suitable one as manufacturer sends the car out with it. But you can change the tyre width or wheels ensuring it doesn't affect car performance and suspension/break systems.

  5. Hi, I got a scratch on the front bumper and a dent on the hood of my car few years back which i didn't get it claimed(yes it's my mistake for not claiming then). Now is it possible to claim for it?
  6. Hi, can anyone recommend me a good mobile repair service in and around colombo?....I have a Toyota Vitz and its not running(engine stalls) which i believe is because of the rats which had bitten the injector wire but need a mechanic to come and check.
  7. Thanks for the advice guys. I would like to first try the trim restorer and see how it looks before trying anything else. I want it to look as close as the original. I don't want to paste any stickers making it look fancy. But I agree that the carbon fibre sticker would look pretty cool. terrabytetango & Sylvi, where can I get this black trim restorer? What's the brand?
  8. Guys, I need your help... While I was washing my car, I scratched the side window sash(the black plastic piece) accidently by sandpaper. That's right sandpaper. Don't ask how it happened, but it did I have highlighted the exact area I'm talking about. The pic is not mine but that's the car I have;Toyota Vitz 2012. Now there is a white patch in that area. Just like it would look when you scratch plastic. It's not a deep scratch but under sunlight it's visible and looks unattractive because of the black colour. I'm not sure whether that piece can be detached easily or it needs removing the door screws to take it apart. So, how should I get this fixed? Will spraying black paint over it do? Or do they sell this part separately so I can replace it? Please help... Thanks
  9. I got my seat covers done for my Vitz(2011) at Car Tailors. And yes, they removed the seats. With regard to sensors, there were no issues during the process.
  10. Hi, I'm planning to get my first car and I'm looking for a sporty hatchback. I'm in a dilemma between the new Toyota Vitz(KSP130) and Mazda Demio. I've got some deals: Demio - 35mil Vitz - 4.2 ~ 4.4 mil I don't know whether it's wise to spend over 4mil on the new Vitz. I feel its a bit over priced considering the features it offers. But I cannot find one for less than 4mil(a grey one). The only reason I'm considering the Vitz is because it's a Toyota! which has a good resale value. I've read several posts here on the Demio, where people highly recommend it. However, they warn about the poor resale value it carries. So what do you guys think is the best option for me?... My budget is 4mil. But I wouldn't mind extending a bit if it's really worth it.
  11. Do they(Future Automobiles) have the Fiesta in stock or do I need to order and if so how long would it take? I heard that ordering a vehicle would take months to get it delivered via agents, atleast in the case with Kia Motors.
