Bumper damage

Crypto2k3 · 07-19-2019, 07:08 PM

Came out to this today. Ugh.

only had the car 3 weeks.

Anyone know a good place in the western suburbs of Chicago ideally (or Chicagoland) to get a bumper touch up done?

That really sucks, I can sympathize as I recently had some front end damage as well.

I have heard good things about A&L Autobody in Palatine & that's where I'm bringing my ride for repair. They are always booked so plan accordingly.

Looks like you closed the garage door whilst not having pulled into the garage as much as you should have... Did the same thing myself with an older car. Looked exactly the same.

Totally feel for you. Had my front damaged recently and if it is any comfort yours in comparison does not look anywhere near as bad, so should easily be repaired.

Yeah, I think that's what happened.

Thanks. I got an $800 quote from a place in Naperville. Will see how they compare. Appreciate it!

Anyone have experience with Bitkholz Body Werks in Naperville? The quote I got requires removing the bumper and all the sensors with it which is why it gets expensive. Does it need to be removed or can it be fixed while on the car? I'm a little worried about them pulling everything apart including part of the lights.

Hi,
You need to find a place that specializes in SMART repairs - they would be able to fix this minor damage without removing the bumper and messing up the sensors!
