Repair Methods

  • ▶
    Scuff and scratch buffing -- minor surface damage can be polished out ($50-$200)
  • ▶
    Bumper repair and repaint -- cracks, dents, and deep scratches are filled and refinished
  • ▶
    Bumper cover replacement -- severely damaged covers are replaced with OEM or aftermarket parts
  • ▶
    Reinforcement bar replacement -- required when the underlying structure is bent or cracked
  • ▶
    Sensor recalibration -- parking sensors and ADAS cameras may need recalibration after repair

ADAS Calibration May Be Required

62 of 116 vehicle/repair combinations require ADAS sensor recalibration after this type of repair. Calibration typically adds $150-$2,000 depending on the vehicle's sensor complexity. Modern vehicles with adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking are most affected.
