Today’s bumpers are strategically designed to absorb the impact of a collision, which helps minimize damage to other parts of the vehicle. However, a bumper full of dings and dents can affect the appearance and safety of your vehicle, so it’s important to have it repaired as soon as possible after an accident. The right bumper repair work can erase all signs of damage, leaving you with a vehicle that looks as good as new.

The short answer is yes. However, even a low-impact collision can leave a major dent in your bumper, and there are various factors that determine whether a repair or replacement is necessary. When you take your vehicle to our collision repair shop, the technician will perform a thorough inspection and inform you of your options.

If your bumper has minor dings and dents, those can be repaired by a professional who pulls the material back into shape using a method called Paintless Dent Repair (PDR). However, if the bumper is scratched, it will also require some paintwork that will increase your costs.

When a bumper has more severe damage, such as a crack, it will need to be replaced entirely. A cracked or loose bumper won’t be able to provide full protection for your vehicle and can become a safety issue. This is why it’s so important to have it looked over by an auto body repair shop immediately following an accident.

If your bumper has slight damage that can be fixed through Paintless Dent Repair, the costs will be minor. PDR rates nationwide average from $50 to $120 to repair a one-inch dent, with the price increasing $10 to $30 by every half inch. But if the bumper needs to be fully replaced, the cost can increase to between $300 and $700 on average.

Keep in mind that costs will vary depending on the make and model of your vehicle, as well as the extent of the damage. The best way to know how much your bumper repair will cost is to obtain an estimate from an auto body professional.
