Be careful with your car's guys. I live in rural loei province near Phu Kradung and I Got in the car a few weeks ago warning lights came up all over the dashboard, sensors not working safety systems out don't drive car messages!

The car is only a year old so its under warranty, so I called emergency line and the car was taken by recovery truck to Udon thani main dealer. Turns out we had mice nesting in the front bumper (Pictures tell the story) 6 weeks later and 50,000 baht insurance claim the car is back, collected friday.

I have bought sprays traps peppermint oil poison you name it.

Did the insurance pay for that?

Yes the insurance paid, but it was not straight forward it was taken to BMW udon Thani, they told insurance company 170,000 baht! To fix it. So the insurance company moved it to BMW khon Kaen where it was repaired for 30,000 so go figure that one out ????

170k for some foam and cables.... even 30k sounds expensive for that and I'm already taking into consideration that it's a BMW.

A lot of labour also with modern cars.

Had similar, air con stopped working.

Took to Honda, 2 hrs later, front end dismantled, 500 baht charge. Rodents removed.

 

Apparently they use soy in the manufacture of some cables and thats what they enjoy chomping on !
