Bumper & Fender Repair Frequently Asked Questions

How much does bumper repair cost in West Los Angeles?

Bumper repair costs typically range from $300-$600 for minor scuffs and scratches to $800-$2,500 for complete bumper replacement. Fender repairs run similarly from $400-$800 for minor damage to $1,000-$3,000 for replacement. Price depends on whether repair or replacement is needed, paint requirements, and any integrated technology like parking sensors.

Can plastic bumpers be repaired or do they need replacement?

Most plastic bumper damage can be professionally repaired using specialized welding and adhesive techniques. We repair cracks, tears, and missing tabs, saving you money versus replacement. However, severe damage affecting mounting points or safety structures requires replacement. Our technicians assess each bumper individually to recommend the most cost-effective solution.

Will my parking sensors still work after bumper repair?

Yes, we carefully preserve and recalibrate all parking sensors, backup cameras, and safety systems during bumper work. Our technicians are trained in modern vehicle technology, ensuring your parking assistance, adaptive cruise control, and collision warning systems function properly after repairs. We test all systems before returning your vehicle.

How quickly can you fix a damaged fender?

Minor fender repairs like dent removal or small crease fixes typically complete in 1-2 days. Fender replacement including paint matching usually takes 2-4 days. We maintain common fender inventory for popular models, which can expedite repairs. Emergency service may be available for minor cosmetic damage.

Is it worth repairing minor bumper damage?

Yes, even minor bumper damage should be professionally addressed. Small cracks can spread, loose bumpers pose safety risks, and damaged paint leads to deterioration. Additionally, unrepaired damage significantly impacts resale value and lease returns. Our affordable repair options restore appearance and prevent costly future problems.
