 Alert | | My car has a dent (more like a cave in in size than a dent) in it's bumper. Anyone have any suggestions who might be able to fix it without having to get a whole new bumper? I'm holding onto my hope that I'll be able to avoid replacing the bumper and that the dent can be somehow fixed! | | | |

Alert | hmm, I don't think that can be repaired. Most shops will spend less time and money on replacing it, than if they had to repair it. If there is a hole in it, they would just throw it away..

Alert | I don't see the hole - looks like a dent with some white paint left from the other car to me. I just had a dent repaired with the same type of damage at Dentbusters on Cave Creek in Phoenix. Cost me $149. No paint was needed, which is why it was cheap and the paint from the other car buffed right off.
Otherwise, like Mike said, a shop will replace it and paint your new bumper to match. | |

Alert | DD - you don't see a hole because there isn't one. The cover on the light isn't even cracked.
I'll try giving Dentbusters a call. Thanks Do you have their number? | | | |
