Well it was a nice sunny day Friday and i was getting one the Thruway and wile getting my ticket at the toll booth the person behind me decided they wanted on first.

I am guessing its going to be like $875 to fix waiting on the insurance company (Geico, (not mine)) to come look at it.

What do you body experts say? you think the bumper needs to be replaced?

edit: its a 2009 w/ 6978 miles

EDIT: 4/28
The 875 i pulled out of my @ss after looking at the prices for parts and stuff, but that is on the very high end.

Her insurance company came out today and gave me a check. Total estimated repairs 634.43 includes replacing the bumper for which i am happy.

Now the task is finding a paint shop to do the work, since its only the bumper i was thinking the Dealer.

The distortions are in the bumper.



No Doubt who it was that did the damage.

 

theyll just repaint it...

Not that bad, my bumper is worse. You'll live.

 

875... not even close... not even bad just touch up, and use the money they give you for a new HU!

 

$875 for what? paint? no way! unless u get swindled and jerked at a body shop then yes.

 

Well I dont know. There is some damage there. Lets break it down like this. (Figured at 52/hour.)
R&I rear bumper 1.2 hours $62.40.
1.0 hour repair $52.00.
3.5 hour to paint plus hazardous waste removal $187.
Paint and materials $91.

$392.40 +tax

 

shop around if its your fault. i got quoted 200$ for the damage on mine but i didnt have any dents, if its their fault make sure they pay :D

 

kinda expensive for a little bit of damage.

 

I had someone bump my rear bumper and it left a bit of a crease and needed some paint. No note or anything, so my insurance covered it... but it ended up being under $400 or something. The shop did a fantastic job and I believe they even heated the bumper a bit to get the crease out and make sure everything was smooth.

Over $800 is a total rip for what yours looks like - then again, you're not paying for it, so whatever.

A shop down here to fix a spider web in my bumper and what they did was lightly sanded the whole bumper, repainted it and cleared it.

Thats was the whole bumper to and it costed $467.26 to do it.
