Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

Front end collision on a W177 A45s, almost all of the front ends needs to be replaced including the subframe. The radiator, condenser and intercooler also needs to be replaced because they're either torn or snapped in half so most of the coolant is gone.

The insurance adjuster asked me if the coolant is reusable or not. That's the dumbest question I've heard, coolant isn't even that expensive, why do you think you can save money there?

ask him, if your milk spilled, is it still reusable? 🤦

Eh, I doubt he has any experience in automotive but it's a pretty ridiculous question to ask.

Well, 100 buck is 100 buck :x

That’s some stingy ass… whole front end is a write off and he’s asking if coolant can be salvaged?!

Eh he's doing his job, at least trying to. I'm guessing he'll cut more on our quoted labour.

Yeah, the worst of all is Etiqa because they have their own hours
