Dent On Front Bumper 09 Camry - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hey, I got a dent on my dads 09 camry's front bumper. Everything else looks fine, except for some scratches. Lights look fine. I guess if I take it to a shop though they will have to remove the whole front bumper. Any idea how much this will cost? I would just take it to a shop and get an estimate, but im not allowed to drive it anymore.

Roger,

What trim is the car? Insurance will cover this I am sure. If he doesn't want to use the insurance, then you can get a new bumper off of ebay for around $100 and get it painted (if it's not the color you want) for around $250. You should be able to remove and replace it fairly easily.

Not sure what you mean by trim but it looks exactly like this

Are the bumpers easy to replace on your own? I am not sure he will trust me with his car again though, I was just looking for ballpark estimate to pay him back if he takes it to a shop.

Roger,

The trim is the style of the car, i.e. CE, LE, SE, XLE. I don't see a dent in that car. If he takes it to a shop it will cost a lot more. Probably more than a grand for parts, labor, and paint. If he uses his insurance though, he will only have to pay a deductable, which is probably $500. Hope this helps.

Just had the rear bumper cover replaced on my 2004 Camry. Got two quotes - one for $700 and another for $750 - replaced with OEM part, painted and installed.

Yeah bro, we need pics.

Bumper from the internets is about $100. Then about $200-$300 for a paint job.

OR

Take the pictures into a shop and ask them what they think. Don't use insurance for a small dent, that's dumb. The rates will more than likely go up.

hey i had a bad dent, damn hit and run, so i use a hairdryer to heat it up and used a broom stick to pop it out and covered it with a domo decal lol but then i got tired of the ugly scratch and took it to a "paint van" behind the toyota dealership i bought the car from and they painted it for for 145$ cash and touch up around the car (like rock chips..etc) its flawless
