How much does it cost to fix your bumper?

I’m so annoyed at myself! When I left my friend’s house last night, I backed into a tree and damaged my rear bumper. How much will it cost to fix?

The average bumper repair costs between $100 and $800, depending on the severity of the damage. Bumper replacement costs, on the other hand, can be as high as $2,000, especially for high-end vehicles.
The cost to repair a bumper depends largely on how serious the damage is. Some bumper repairs are an easy DIY project; others require expert assistance.
  • Minor dents in the rear bumper cost $100-$200 to fix. Ask your mechanic about paintless
    dent repair
    , which avoids damaging your car’s original paint job.
  • Larger dents cost between $200 and $600 to remove.
  • Cracks and holes raise the price to $300-$450. Depending on the severity, your mechanic may have to inject some plastic filler, sand it, and re-paint it.
If the damage is extensive enough that you need to replace your entire bumper, you're looking at higher costs.
  • Replacing the front bumper typically costs between $500 and $2,000. Pickup trucks, SUVs, and luxury vehicles often have steeper front bumper replacement costs.
  • Replacing the rear bumper can cost anywhere between $800 and $2,000 depending on the make and model of your car.
