I’m sorry to hear that your bumper was scratched; driving in icy conditions can be pretty unpredictable. Fixing a scratch in your car bumper will range in cost from around $50 to more than $200 depending on the following factors:
The severity of the damage
The bumper’s material
The make, model, and year of the car
The auto body shop’s rates
If the damage is severe, there is a high possibility that the bumper will simply need to be replaced. If this is the case, you could be looking at spending between $200 and $450.
If your bumper needs to be replaced but the cost is a little outside of your budget, check out the
premium. Then put some of those savings toward a new bumper.
