RE:LOSS OF USED OF VEHICLE DUE TO NEGLIGENCE OF THIRD PARTY (modified 0 times) Dato Ang Dear Kevin Usually the loss of used is calculated base on the days require to repair the car by the workshop. In your case, it mean that the workshop only take 5 working days to repair your car. You may send in your car to the workshop for 28 days but that does not mean the actual day of use. For example, if I brough a car and they don't have spare parts in Malaysia. I have to order the spare parts from oversea and the shipment will only come after 6 months. That does not mean I can claim loss of used for 6 months. Therefore, it is very important to have a very good workshop that can do the repair job nicely and fast. But sad to say that there are not many such workshop around. 01 Jun, 2011 10:49:54
