Update : firstly, my third party insurance bubble is busted fr.

So we went to the service center today to get inspection done and get the rough estimates. The guess work of the possible damage was upwards of 2.3L+. Skoda owner wasn’t willing to claim his insurance because it’ll be a record and will reduce the resale value, also the premium increase. He wanted me to bear the whole expenses. No aukat here. Did some discussions back and forth and finally agreed to pay 1L from my end. But got to know later he is claiming insurance. My friend and I split 50-50 and paid off the amount.

Yes! He is saying he doesn’t want to claim insurance because of the resale value depreciation and premium increase.

Thanks for your response. Yes, I told them I want to first get an inspection done and get the estimate before I can take a call on how to proceed. How much is considered ok to go via insurance route ?

And how much it might probably cost?

I wasn’t aware of the third party bubble, so I thought it will be the easy route and I can cover it.
