okay, someone backed up and hit my bumper,
paint cracked,
i can feel a bump on the bumper, most likely caused by something from under the bumper skin.
my question is, should i have the bumper replaced?
or can it be repaired?
its a hit and run,
i have not yet gotten the insurance involved,
knowing a $500 deductable from my pocket is involved.

any suggestions welcomed.


thanks

Sorry to hear that Jeff. If the bumper is cracked, my instinct tells me it has to be replaced. To replace and repaint the bumper, you're going to spend a lot more than your deductible. I'd say north of $2000 by a shop that will do a good job.

Call your insurance agent...I'm pretty sure things like this can be put through without raising your rates. If you don't know a reputable shop, and are willing to drive to orange county, contact this shop..

Family business and the owner still paints each car himself.

Hope this helps.
