Two days ago, a report emerged on social media of a shocking repair estimate for a new Deepal S05 SUV. The owner claimed a minor accident with a motorcycle caused the damage. However, the resulting repair bill tells a very different story. The incident highlights the harsh financial realities of maintaining new, imported vehicles in the country.
The owner labeled the crash as a minor incident. Yet, visual evidence shows extensive destruction. The accident completely wrecked the front right side of the Deepal S05. The bumper is torn open, exposing internal brackets. The right front fender is heavily crumpled inward. Furthermore, the impact completely blew out the front right tire and dislodged it from the wheel rim. This level of damage strongly suggests a high-impact collision rather than a minor scrape.
The financial toll is massive. Changan Islamabad Motors provided two separate estimates on August 6, 2026. The mechanical and suspension repairs will cost PKR 860,335.86. This includes replacing the strut assembly, steering gear, and a ruined tire. Meanwhile, the exterior bodywork estimate sits at PKR 555,057.84.
Together, the parts alone cost over Rs. 1.4 million. Once the company factors in labor and paint, the total climbs to an estimated Rs. 18 lakh.
Cost is not the only issue. The dealership stated the repairs will take nearly 20 days because the mechanics cannot start fixing the car immediately. The company must import all the necessary parts first, as these parts are not available locally. Consequently, the owner is left with a massive bill and a grounded vehicle for weeks.
