Harry’s Auto Collision has been around since 1974, when we opened our original Los Angeles location at the corner of La Brea and Olympic. We have more than 50 years of experience providing essential collision repair services, including auto body and rear bumper repairs, replacements, and repainting.
We’ve seen cars evolve and become more technologically advanced. In response, we’ve kept our bumper repair services, training, and equipment up-to-date. Today, our L.A. auto body repair shop is a state-of-the-art 90,000 sq. ft. facility equipped with the latest tools, including paintless dent repair (PDR) equipment and the newest paint booths.
In 2014, we expanded to a second location at the Auto Mall in Thousand Oaks, one of the oldest of its kind in the United States. This has allowed us to bring our experience and certifications to even more drivers and automotive enthusiasts.
Our team is equipped to handle rear bumper repairs, from cosmetic touch-ups to structural fixes:
- Plastic part repairs. Most front and rear bumpers on today’s vehicles are made of plastic. Our technicians can inspect dented, split, or cracked rear bumpers to determine if they are repairable. We use thermoplastic welding, sanding, and reshaping techniques to return the damaged area to its original shape and performance. This restores your car’s look and protects its resale value.
- Carbon fiber repairs. We are certified to handle carbon fiber repairs and replacements on rear bumpers, including covers, trim pieces, diffusers, and splitters. Our carbon fiber repair techniques include sanding, polishing, resin injections, patching, and curing, allowing us to fix cosmetic blemishes and structural damage.
- Sensor recalibration. Many modern makes and models feature a wide range of sensors and safety equipment in the rear bumper, such as parking cameras or proximity sensors. If a fender-bender has broken or misaligned these sensors, our technicians can inspect them and perform all necessary repairs and recalibrations.
- Complete rear bumper replacements. Was your bumper assembly severely damaged in a collision? Schedule a service at Harry’s Auto Collision and let our repair staff replace it for you. We will carefully uninstall the broken bumper, order a suitable replacement, install it, and perform sensor calibration and testing until your car looks factory-new.
- Hidden damage inspections. Rear impacts often damage more than just the bumper and its components. Our team is certified to inspect and address hidden damage to your vehicle’s bumper rails, trunk, rear body panels, taillights, and frame.
- Paint services. Most fender-benders and rear-end accidents damage the rear bumper’s paint and clearcoat. Harry’s Auto Collision has access to factory original, manufacturer, and custom paint codes to restore your rear bumper to its original look.
How much does it cost to repair a rear bumper?
On average, rear bumper repairs cost $150 to $600, comparable to front bumpers. However, the exact figures vary depending on your vehicle’s make and model and the repair techniques needed.
How much will a rear bumper replacement cost me?
The repair cost depends on your car’s make, model, and trim level. A mid-range replacement bumper ranges between $700 and $1,000. A high-end or luxury car’s replacement bumper ranges between $1,000 and $1,500. Some models can reach up to $5,000 or more for sports cars or specialized models, particularly those with carbon fiber elements.
How long do rear bumper repairs take?
Rear bumper repairs can range from a couple of hours to multiple days, depending on parts availability and the extent of the damage. Superficial bumper damage, such as shallow scratches, rarely takes more than a few hours. A full bumper replacement can take multiple days as it involves removing the damaged part, ordering the new one (including delivery times), installing it, calibrating and testing sensors, and painting it.
Do you offer paint matching services?
Yes. If your rear bumper’s paint was scratched or damaged in a collision, our technicians can fix it. After repairing the damage, we can source your car’s original equipment manufacturer (OEM) paint code to ensure a 100% match with your car’s factory color.
