Plastic Bumper Dent Repair in Parker, CO

Bumpers are made to take bumps, so they take a lot of them. Backing into a post in a parking garage. Rolling into a curb stop that's taller than you thought. A tap in stop-and-go traffic. A trailer hitch or a bike rack when you're parked too close.

On most cars and SUVs, the bumper you see is a plastic cover. Behind it sits a hard bar and a foam layer. When the cover takes a hit, it can push in and stay that way.

A pushed-in bumper looks bad, but the cover often isn't ruined. If the plastic didn't crack or tear, there's a good chance it can come back.

Often, yes. Plastic bumper covers tend to want to go back to their shape. With the right tools, steady pressure from behind, and sometimes gentle heat, many dents can be worked back out.

A bumper dent is a good fit when:

• The plastic isn't cracked, split or torn.
• The paint on the bumper isn't cracked or flaking.
• The mounting tabs and clips that hold the bumper on aren't broken.

No paint work is done. The goal is to bring the bumper back to its shape and keep the factory paint on it.

Not every bumper dent can be fixed without paint. That's why every bumper job starts with a quick check.

Text a few photos of your bumper to (720) 515-9105. I'll look at:

• How big and deep the dent is.
• Whether the plastic or paint is cracked.
• Whether the dent is on a sharp edge or a flat area.
• What's behind it, like a bracket, a sensor or a light.

Then you get an honest answer: yes, this can be fixed without paint, or no, another repair is the better route. The check is free, and it comes with your quote.

Some bumper damage is past what a paintless repair can do. That includes:

• Cracks, splits or tears in the plastic.
• Paint that's cracked, peeling or missing.
• Broken mounting tabs, or a bumper that's hanging loose.
• Damage to the hard bar or frame behind the bumper.

If your bumper has any of these, you'll hear it up front. A body shop can repair or replace the cover and paint it. I don't do paint work, so I'll point you that way instead of trying something that won't hold up.

Many newer bumpers have parking sensors, cameras or lights built in. Let me know if your dent is near one of these when you text. Close-up photos of that area help me give you a straight answer on whether the dent is a good fit.

• One wide shot of the whole bumper, from a few feet back.
• One close-up of the dent.
• One shot from an angle, low and to the side, so the shape of the dent shows.
• A close-up of any cracks, scrapes or loose spots.
• Tell me the year, make and model.

Shade or soft daylight works best. Text the photos to (720) 515-9105.

Mobile service is available for quick repairs, and some bumper dents are quick. If yours is, it can be mobile across Parker and the south Denver suburbs. Ask about your project. Bigger bumper jobs are by appointment, location provided when you book.

A bump in a parking lot doesn't always stop at the bumper. Sometimes there's a ding in the fender or a crease in the quarter panel next to it. Those can often be fixed with PDR at the same time. Light scuffs on the bumper can often be buffed out too. No paint work.

Got a dent on a metal panel too? See Door Ding Repair or Crease Dent Repair.
