How long does it take to fix a car bumper?

On my way to work yesterday, my car skidded on a patch of ice and ran onto the curb. My front bumper seems to be crooked and damaged, but that seems to be all that took a hit, thankfully. If possible, I would like to get the bumper fixed while I’m at work. About how long does it take to fix a car bumper?

I’m glad to hear that this issue wasn’t more serious and that no one was hurt. Unfortunately, the time it takes to fix a car bumper can vary greatly depending on the extent of the damage and the availability of your mechanic.
If the damage is simple, your bumper could be fixed in as little as three hours. However, if the damage is significant, you could be waiting three days for your bumper to be fixed. The best way to find out exactly how long the repair will take is to bring your car to an auto body shop and have the area inspected.
Once you’ve been given your price and time estimate, you can make a more informed decision on what to do next. No matter what you choose to do, make sure that you check out the
