Car, Vehicle, Auto Bumper Repairs

What is a car bumper repair?

A bumper repair is generally needed after the front or rear bumper on your car has come into contact with something, causing damage. Now, the damage can vary significantly, depending on what you came in contact with, how it was hit and how fast your car was going when contact was made.

The aim of a bumper repair is to remove all signs of the damage, thus restoring your bumper as close as possible back to original condition.

Why is important to repair a damaged bumper?

The only time you will really need to get your bumper repaired is if it has been damaged to the point where there are bits and pieces hanging off or not secure. These will need to be repaired to avoid parts of your bumper flying off whilst you’re on the road, potentially causing more damage to your car, not to mention other road users.

Certain damage could cause your car to become unroadworthy. If this happens, and you’re caught driving by the Police, you could face fines and have your car taken off the road until the problem is fixed.

You’ll need to be careful with your insurance as well. If you get into another accident with your car that is deemed to be unroadworthy, you could void your insurance.
