If you’ve been in a car accident and smashed your front bumper, you may be wondering how essential it is to get it repaired. It could be that your bumper is still holding together, with just a few cracks on one side.
We’re sorry to say, this is not the job you can do at home. It’s unsafe and it can adversely affect your car insurance. It’s also illegal to drive without a proper front or rear bumper in Australia, so failing to get your bumper damage repaired could earn you a hefty fine for operating an unroadworthy vehicle.
Should I replace or repair my car bumper cover?
The answer is YES. A broken or damaged front bumper may not seem like a big deal at a glance, but it can cause your vehicle to experience internal issues. A dented or dinged bumper can send your car’s alignment off, making driving less safe for you, your passengers, and other road users.
Can a bumper cover be repaired?
Affirmative! There are various situations when it’s reasonable to fix the bumper cover without replacing it, such as the following instances.
- When it has just a small dent: In situations where you have only a minor cut on your bumper cover, don’t fret! A technician can effortlessly pull it, repair it, and repaint it.
- When the car is an old model: In this case, it might be a difficult and expensive process to get a new one as the bumper cover for your vehicle year and model may no longer be available. It may be cheaper and easier to repair the damage than to replace the bumper cover. Checking out used car body parts is also a viable option.
- When the car is a foreign or luxury type: Parts for foreign and luxury vehicles are usually more costly. For less common cars like Nissan 350Z, the comparatively higher price is due to the added cost of shipping them from manufacturing countries. For luxury cars, it’s the different electronics devices (cameras and sensors) attached to the bumper cover that accounts for the extra cost.
