Question
Hey,
Yesteday after I long day at work , I backed into my boss' 2007(maybe 2008) Blue Honda CRV. The trailer hitch on the back of my pickup caused a minor dent (about the size of a small apple) to her front bumper to the left side of the liscene plate. The bumper did not crack but there was some minor rust transfer from the hitch. I'm just wondering 1) How would you fix this? 2) How much it would cost 3) How much time it would take.

Thanks a million,
Sarah

Answer
Hello Sarah
It sounds like the bumper of the CRV will have to be repaired and painted by a bodyshop. Depending on where you are in Canada this will probably cost around 1000 dollars and take 3 days start to finish.
This cost  represents remove and over haul the bumper, repair the bumper, prime, paint and clear the bumper and reassemble and reinstall.
thank you
Hope this helps
