Flagstaff Bumper Repair Services

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

The short answer is yes, you can repair a bumper. 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 for your vehicle. When you take it to the repair shop, the technician will be able to perform a thorough inspection and inform you of your options.

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

When a bumper has more severe damage like 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. 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. Nationally, PDR rates average from $50 to $120 to repair a 1-inch dent with the price increasing $10 to $30 by every half-inch. However, if the bumper needs to be fully replaced, the costs can increase to an average between $300 and $700.

Keep in mind that costs will vary depending on the make and model of the 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.
