Fix Your Car Bumper

You’ll always want to consult a service center if the damage to your Crosby car bumper seems more extensive than an at-home repair can handle. So how much does a car bumper repair cost? This can range from $50 if you do it yourself or up to $1,500 if there is damage with the lights, sensors, or cameras. A bumper replacement may be in order if the damage is beyond fixing. With damage limited to dents, cracks, or paint scratches, see below for how to DIY these mishaps.

Car Dents

If you’re going to try fixing this yourself, you may need a heat gun or hair dryer, a pry bar, a jack, jack stands, safety glasses, and gloves. Make sure your vehicle is in an elevated, safe spot. Once there, warm the affected area with a heat gun. When it’s warmed sufficiently, use the pry bar to apply some pressure to the dent from the inside out. Start with the deepest part of the dent then work outward.

Paint Scratches

Even with a minor fender-bender, you can have some paint scratches. With our help, you can have your vehicle back on Channelview roads without scratches in no time. Run your fingernail over the scratch to determine how deep the scratch is so you can buff it with your drill attachment accordingly. If necessary, add a layer of clear coat. Let that dry and paint with your touch-up pen. Allow that to dry fully before hitting the road!

Cracks

If there’s a crack in the fiberglass, you may want to bring your vehicle into our service center. If you’re prepared to attempt a fiberglass repair on your own, note that you may need a fiberglass repair kit and be sure to follow the safety instructions.
