Scraped up the back bumper
Scraped up the back bumper
I back up into a stop sign on this little side street and it messed up the back bumper...I was sick all day about it. I want to take it to a shop on monday to have it fixed I wonder how much it will cost to repair it? Should I take it to the dealer or just some body shop any help would be great.

Re: Scraped up the back bumper
This is what you pay comprehensive for on your insurance. Someone hit my back bumper less than a week after I bought it. I called in the claim. My deductible is $200. Total bill was near $1,000.
They had to replace the entire rubberized bumper cover, so that's why I expect it was that much. If you are just repairing scratches, it's going to be MUCH less. Probably lower than your deductible.
As stated get a professional estimate or three and then you will know if it's worth making a claim for.
Cheers!

Any damage that is done to the bumper means it has to be replaced entirely. I got an estimate of $800 to fix a small dent that someone had done to my car.
I am going to take it to the MB dealer this week the chrysler dealer where i bought the car does not have a body shop. Right now the car is in my garage with a cover over it i can't even look at it.

A moron in Detroit tried following me through a stop sign, except I stopped and he didn't. He hit me at less than 5 mph. Just enough to scratch the rear bumper in a couple places. Fortunately no damage to the underlying foam.
I took it to both a quality repair shop (they did work for me on another car) and the dealer. Both were ~$500. Bumper had to be removed, sanded, repainted, and cleared. They thought they might have to put some filler on the damage but I told them no bondo and only enough filler to remove the scratches.
It's been 6 months and you cannot tell where the damage was.
