How much does it cost to fix the bumper on a car?

My car has accumulated some scratches and dents on the bumper. It’s been the family car for many years, but I’d love for it to look a bit nicer if it’s affordable. How much will it cost to fix the bumper on a car?

Great question! It’s always worthing putting some love into the family car, especially if it’s still running smoothly.
The average cost to fix a bumper on a car is between $150 and $600, depending on what needs fixing.
Specific costs depend on:
  • The material of your bumper (plastic or metal)
  • The make and model of your vehicle
  • How serious the damage is
Generally speaking, it’s cheaper to repair a bumper with minor issues than replace it entirely. Minor repairs include
scratches
and small dents. But if there are serious problems like cracks and holes, you may need to replace it.
Be aware that bumper damage can hide other problems. Before you book this service, we recommend taking your vehicle in for a quick check-up. Behind the bumper are sensors, lights, and other parts that could be damaged, too.
