Title: Scratched bumper repair cost?
Post by: SoL on December 31, 2008, 05:31:19 PM
Hi all, recently I scratched another car while doing parallel parking.  :(

The owner wasn't there, so I left a note and took a picture, because I've heard stories of how people repair a lot of stuff at once and pass all the cost to the unlucky fellow.

So around how much does this take to repair? In case I kena cheated!

If no dents, can get re-spray and touch up for less than $100.

 :thumbsup: to you bro sol, lets hope the owner of the car will also be as honest as you and just claim the respraying cost, i suppose shld be less than $100, but if he  he goes back to authorise agents, will be more expensive.

Bro Sol, have you tried polishing it off yourself? 2 days ago my bumper kanna scratched too from some ppl who dunno how to do parking, kanna a big patch. I polish it off myself. No need spend so much money to rectify scratches because you wun know when is the next time u kanna again.

From yr pic, those white colour things can probably be polished off yourself. What are those black stuffs?

TCM is very expensive for such repair...the other time i did ask for quotation on the price and they quote me abt tat price....when i checked with outside workshop, they quote me abt 300+.....but in the end, i didn't fixed it.....didn't think worth the money and time to fix it...
