Bumper repair
Repaired first. Replaced when it has to be.
A scuffed cover with its mounting tabs intact is a repair, not a replacement. We weld cracks from behind, reshape, and refinish, and the estimate shows the replacement price beside it so you can see the difference.
- The tear test: before anyone replaces a bumper cover, ask to be shown the tear. We show you.
- Absorbers and brackets checked, because a cover that looks fine can hide a crushed absorber.
- Sensors re-aimed after any bumper with parking or radar sensors comes off.
- Three ways on the estimate: repair, a quality non-OEM cover, or a new factory cover.

Reviews
What Miami drivers say about our bumper repair.
Another shop wanted to replace the whole bumper. Luis looked at my photos and said it could be repaired. Saved me almost $500 and it looks new.
Cracked cover and a broken clip. Photos at night, the range the next morning, and the car back in two days with the parking sensors checked.
Questions
Straight answers.
Can a cracked bumper be repaired?
Usually, if the crack stops short of the mounting tabs. Plastic is welded from behind, reshaped and refinished.
Will the color match?
Yes. The color is read with a camera, mixed here, and blended into the next panel so there’s no visible edge.
Do you replace bumpers with aftermarket parts?
Only if you choose it, and never on a structural part. The estimate prices the options side by side.
