Rear bumper repair costs?

[synnyster]

Ugh, I feel so sick. So I backed into a trailer hitch on a big truck at work. It was dark and next thing I know I heard the crunch. The dent is small but I still want it fixed. Any idea what type of fix this would be or ballpark figure? Would the whole bumper need to be replaced?

somebody put a dent in my rear bumper probably more than yours. $1100 had to replace and repaint and make sure sensors were fine.

Did you get it fixed at a Hyundai body shop or 3rd party? How much is the bumper?

If only the plastic bumper cover needs repair, it probably will not cost $1100.

Take it to a couple of body shops and get a free estimate. You are wasting your time trying to get an estimate on this forum. At least where I live there are plenty of excellent independent body shops.

Amen:

this is not the place to look for prices

look around

talk to friends

go to body shops

people on this forum don't fix bumpers - for sure

I would also try those Scratch & Dent repair guys that come right to your to fix dents. Worth a shot.

Question: Did you have your Parking Assist button turned on at the time and it failed to notify you of the trailer behind you?

In NJ, Pistacataway Auto Body quoted me $1,100 to repair some deep scratches and a deep gouge on the back rear bumper from a public parking garage paint trading. That was for a full fix and repaint. However they also quoted me about $130 to buff it out and touch up the gouge, said nobody would notice it but me. 5 stars from 333 users agrees with them, will be doing this in the near future.

personally I wouldn't do anything about it. too small and it wouldn't bother me that much.

Similar damage on our Odyssey bumper was about $300. All they needed to do was minor fill & sand, and then partial respray.

I removed the bumper and sensors and just gave them the bumper so we could continue to drive the car. Took them a couple days. Only took about 20 minutes to R&R the bumper myself.

considering its under the reflector they can blend the paint in without replacing the whole bumper... imo

Mine wasn't the back, but the front. Hyundai charged $1300 to repair, but that included $450 for a replacement grille. After the spot repaint they did a clear coat of the entire bumper cover.

That damage looks like something that can be heated up and molded to (at least close to) perfection. I doubt that would be very expensive. Wherever you go, don't go in there acting like it's the end of the world. Just be like, "Eh. I don't know. I don't even know it's there but maybe I should just get it fixed"...

$300-$500 would be reasonable. I need to have my rear bumper done, a car rubbed my bumper in a parking lot.... and they left. My body guy said he can sand it out and do a partial spry then clear the whole bumper. Mine will cost $300. Yours has to be sanded and filled but the same type of paint work.

Thanks for all the input. I'll have to start shopping around at a few body shops.

Cheapest option is to take it to nearby Body repair shop. Body repair shop in my area charge around $75/dent about an inch in diameter + $50 for repainting.

I like that option...
