Auto body repair & detailing/rear end bumper

Expert: Michael Kakuk - 11/16/2010


Question
At a stop sign, I was behind a car that drove forward, and I proceeded to drive forward.  The car stopped and I accidently pumped into it.  It's a 2003/2004 Suzuki Aero.  My 1999 Suburban was not damaged at all.  Yet, the owner of the Suzuki says that there is a small hole in the rear bumper.  How much should I expect to pay to fix it?

Answer
I can't know without seeing the damages but if you were to ask her to get an estimate of repair you could contact the estimator and discuss that. If the bumper is a painted one you can expect about $ $350.00
plus the cost of the bumper...so if the bumper is $ 250 +$350.00=$ 600.00 total cost. These figures are approximate only.
