Bumpers are one of the most commonly repaired parts of a vehicle. Front and rear bumpers play a major role in keeping vehicle occupants safe. Vehicle bumpers were designed to absorb the majority of a collision’s impact, and are very effective in doing so. The cost to repair a bumper depends on the vehicle and the extent of damages.

How Much Does It Cost to Repair a Bumper?

A bumper repair can be cheap or costly depending on how bad the damage is and which bumper is being fixed. For most vehicles, the front bumper costs more than the rear bumper. Generally, a bumper repair starts at $100 and can surpass $500 depending on the vehicle’s make, model, and the severity of the damages. If the damage is minor, such as a little scrape, it should only take a couple of hours and would not cost much. If the repairs are more severe, the cost could be several hundred dollars and up.

Replacing a Bumper

If a vehicle’s bumper has been damaged beyond repair, the next option is to replace it. Even if there is not a lot of damage, it may still make financial sense to replace a bumper if the replacement cost is less than the cost of labor required to repair the bumper. To replace a vehicle’s bumper, you must:

1. Remove the damaged bumper
2. Prepare & paint the new bumper
3. Install the new bumper

The bumper replacement process is usually quicker than the bumper repair process, however, you have to factor in the additional cost of a new bumper when comparing the price between the two options.
