Harry’s Auto Collision has proudly served the Los Angeles area with expert collision repair services for more than 50 years. Since opening our original location at La Brea and Olympic in 1974, bumper damage has remained one of the most common and essential repairs we provide.
As vehicles have evolved, so have we. From advanced sensors to manufacturer-specific materials, today’s auto body front bumper repairs require up-to-date training and precision, and our team is fully equipped to handle it all.
Thanks to our commitment to craftsmanship and customer care, we’ve grown from a local shop into a 90,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility, making us a trusted name for bumper repair services across Central Los Angeles.
In 2014, we brought that same level of service to Thousand Oaks, opening a second location in the iconic Auto Mall to serve even more drivers with convenience and confidence.

Whether it’s a minor fender bender or a more serious collision, you can count on Harry’s Auto Collision for professional bumper repairs. When you schedule a bumper service, our skilled technicians can provide you with a wide range of advanced repair techniques, including:
- Plastic welding. While some sportier or technologically advanced vehicles may include sensors, cameras, electronics, and carbon fiber elements in the front bumper, most are still primarily made of plastic.If your bumper has received minor damage, such as small cracks, holes, or splitting, our technicians can use plastic welding to repair it. We’ll melt thermoplastic material of the same type as your bumper to fill in or fuse the damaged area before sanding, reshaping, and refinishing it.
- Reshaping techniques. Some collisions leave plastic bumpers dented or warped without cracking the surface. Our technicians use specialized heat and reshaping techniques to smooth out the damage and restore the original contour. We can often complete the repair without repainting—saving you time and keeping costs down.
- Paint matching services. Collisions often leave scratches that damage your bumper’s paint and clear coat, taking away from your vehicle’s appearance. Harry’s Auto Collision offers a full range of premium auto paint products, from original manufacturer paint codes to custom color matching. We will restore your bumper’s finish to its original factory look, including perfect color and gloss.
- Complete bumper replacements. If your bumper is beyond repair, our technicians will carefully remove the damaged parts, source the correct replacement, and prepare it for installation. Every bumper replacement includes precise paint matching, sensor recalibration, and camera alignment—all tailored to your vehicle’s make and model.
Will you replace my bumper if it’s damaged, or can it be repaired?
It depends on the type and extent of the damage. Minor collisions often leave scratches, small dents, or holes that we can easily fix with plastic welding and reshaping techniques. If the damage is more extensive, such as a heavily deformed or cracked bumper, we may recommend replacement instead.
How much does it cost to repair a front bumper?
Front bumpers with minor dents, dings, or scratches are easier and quicker to repair, costing an average of $100 to $300. More extensive front bumper repairs cost more; larger dents and cracks can cost up to $600 each.
How much would a front bumper replacement cost?
The exact costs vary depending on your car’s make, model, and complexity. An OEM bumper can cost between $500 and $1,500, plus installation, calibration, and repainting labor. We may recommend a complete replacement if it would be more cost-effective for you.
How long do front bumper repairs take?
Minor damage typically takes less than a day to repair, whereas a full replacement job can take up to three days, not counting waiting times due to parts delivery.
