Multiple announcements and sharings for a single incident will not increase the total repair cost. On the contrary, this is a standard practice in the industry.

It effectively balances the needs of repair shops, members, and the GDM platform. By doing so, it ensures a smooth and efficient repair and sharing process, allowing members to retrieve their vehicles as promptly as possible.

Moreover, this approach aligns well with GDM's commitment to transparency and efficient service to its members.

Step-by-Step Cost Determination

The final cost of vehicle repairs is usually determined over time as the car begins the repair process. It starts with an initial visual assessment, but during the repair process, adjustments may be needed due to the discovery of additional damage or changes in parts availability. As a result, the final repair cost needs to be determined step by step.

Financial Support for Repair Body Shops

Unlike personal repairs where the full payment is required when picking up the vehicle, GDM members only need to pay their out-of-pocket amount and remaining pledge balance. However, repair shops often need to pay significant amounts in advance for parts early in the process. For this reason, multiple rounds of announcements and cost-sharing processes are needed to help meet the repair shops' payment needs, speeding up the repair process.

Faster Vehicle Return

This approach ensures that members can retrieve their vehicles as soon as possible. By shortening the repair time, it effectively reduces additional transportation expenses that members might otherwise incur. This method also aligns with GDM's commitment to transparency, savings, and efficiency in its services to its members.
