What are the Signs that My Car Needs a Bumper Repair?

If your vehicle has been involved in a collision, either with another vehicle or a static object, and the front or rear bumper is cracked, scuffed, scratched or dented, it’s likely that you need some form of repair or replacement.

You should act quickly if you notice any of these signs as your car’s structural integrity may have been damaged and you may risk injury if you’re involved in another collision before the damage is fixed.

Can I Do a Bumper Repair Myself at Home?

If your bumper has cracked, you shouldn’t attempt to fix it yourself. As your bumper is designed to withstand serious force in the event of an accident, you should always have it repaired by a professional technician to ensure your safety.

If your car’s bumper has only suffered a dent, you may be able to remove it yourself, but we only recommend trying to fix it if you’re sure that your bumper hasn’t suffered any structural damage.

If you’re unsure what damage your car has suffered, we recommend booking an appointment with a professional technician instead of trying to fix the problem yourself.
