How We Repair Your Bumper
- Inspection & Scan – We photograph damage, run an OBD-linked scan for radar or parking sensor faults, and prepare a line-item estimate within 30 minutes.
- Disassembly – The bumper cover and grilles, fog lamps, and trim are removed, so hidden cracks or bracket bends are addressed instead of painted over.
- Structural Restoration – Plastic is welded or bonded with heat-activated rods and adhesive systems that flex like OEM materials, keeping future cracks from radiating.
- Surface Refinishing – High-build primer fills micro pitting; color is mixed to factory code with spectrophotometer verification; clear coat is baked in a downdraft booth.
- Reassembly & Calibration – Sensors, adaptive-cruise modules, and surround-view cameras are torqued to spec, then road-tested and scanned for zero DTCs.
- Quality Check & Delivery – Panel gaps, paint depth, and gloss readings are marked on a 50-point sheet; you receive after-care instructions and warranty paperwork.
Common Bumper Problems We Fix
- Spider-web cracks
Fine fractures caused by low-speed bumps or harsh winter potholes. We plastic-weld the damaged area, add flexible filler, and finish with a textured respray that mirrors the factory grain.
- Punctures and holes
Trailer hitches, parking posts, or loose cargo can punch through a cover. We reinforce the back with mesh, bond it using a two-part adhesive, then contour-sand the front before painting.
- Deep gouges and scrapes
Parallel-parking misjudgments often carve into bumper corners. After feather-edge sanding, we rebuild the surface with high-build primer and spray color mixed to match your original color.
- Misaligned gaps
Tow-hook pulls or curb strikes can twist brackets and loosen clips, leaving uneven spacing. We replace bent mounts, re-index clips, and dial in the gaps to factory specification.
- Sensor failure
Hidden wiring breaks behind the fascia can disable parking or radar sensors. We repair or replace the harness, reprogram the module, and confirm proper operation with a diagnostic scan.
