Bumper repair
Bumper repair and replacement in Portland, OR.
Bumper repair in Sellwood and Southeast Portland, from a parking-lot scuff to collision damage. We repair the cover when we can, replace it when we should, handle the sensors behind it, and color-match so the fix disappears. Every make, every carrier.
Bumper damage is the most common body work there is, and it is rarely just cosmetic anymore. We handle cracked and scuffed bumper covers, torn mounting tabs, dented reinforcement bars, and the parking sensors and cameras tucked behind them. It is part of the same collision repair and custom paint work we are known for, on every make from a daily driver to a European or exotic.
- Repair when we can, replace when we should
- A scuffed or cracked bumper cover often does not need replacing. We assess whether the cover can be repaired and refinished or whether the damage, the mounting tabs, or a hidden reinforcement bar mean a new part is the honest call. You hear which it is, and why, before any work starts.
- Plastic repair and refinishing
- Most modern bumpers are flexible plastic, not metal, so they get their own process: the cover is repaired or replaced, prepped with the right flex additives, and refinished so the texture and sheen match the panels around it. Done right, the repair disappears into the rest of the car.
- Color match that holds up
- We pull the factory paint code off your car, mix fresh, spray test cards, and blend into the adjacent panels in a booth-controlled environment. A bumper that reads even slightly off against the fender is a bumper done wrong, and that is the part everyone notices.
- Sensors and cameras behind the bumper
- Today's bumpers hide parking sensors, blind-spot radar, and front cameras for emergency braking. When a bumper repair or replacement disturbs them, we make sure those systems are accounted for and calibrated, in-house or with a specialist, so the safety tech reads the road correctly again.
- Any carrier, or out of pocket
- Parking-lot bumper damage is one of the most common reasons people pay out of pocket to skip a claim. We write a free estimate either way and, if you are filing, we work directly with your insurer and handle the paperwork.
- I-CAR Gold Class
- The collision industry's highest training credential, third-party proof the people refinishing your bumper are trained to current repair standards.

Bumper repair questions.
It depends on the damage. Many cracks, scuffs, and scrapes on a plastic bumper cover can be repaired and refinished for less than a replacement. Deeper structural cracks, torn mounting tabs, or a damaged reinforcement bar usually call for a new part. We assess it and tell you straight which way makes sense.
Yes. We read the factory paint code, mix fresh, spray test cards, and blend into the adjacent panels in our booth so the color and sheen match. A bumper that does not match the fender beside it is the first thing people notice, so matching it is the whole job.
We do. Modern bumpers carry parking sensors, blind-spot radar, and front cameras. When a repair or replacement disturbs them, we account for those systems and have them calibrated, in-house or with a specialist, so the safety features work the way they should before your car leaves.
It depends on whether the cover can be repaired or needs replacing, and on the sensors involved. A scuff refinish is far less than a full replacement with sensor calibration. The honest answer comes from a free written estimate, so bring it by or send photos and we will give you a real number.
No. Many people pay out of pocket for minor bumper damage to keep their premium where it is. We write a free estimate either way, and if you do file, we work directly with your carrier.
A scuff or crack refinish on a single bumper cover is usually a quick turnaround once it is in the booth. A full replacement, a multi-panel blend, or one involving sensor calibration takes longer because the new part has to be ordered, fit, painted, and the systems checked. We give you a realistic timeline with your written estimate, not a guess.
