Bumper Repair in Sacramento, CA
Bumpers take the brunt of low-speed impacts, and most modern bumper covers are plastic. Reyes Auto LLC repairs plastic bumper covers — scratches, scuffs, cracks, and dents — at our Sacramento shop, with refinishing to match the rest of the vehicle.
What Bumper Repair Covers
Bumper repair focuses specifically on plastic bumper covers — the exterior piece you see. Common damage includes scratches, scuffs, cracks from impacts, dents, and paint damage. The repair can involve plastic welding, filling, reshaping, and refinishing to restore the cover's appearance and fit.
How Bumper Repair Differs From Collision Repair
Bumper repair is focused on the bumper cover alone. Collision repair is the full repair of a vehicle after an accident and can include the bumper along with body panels, structural work, and refinishing. If the only damage is to your bumper, this is the right page. If the accident caused damage beyond the bumper, see our collision repair page.
Repair vs. Replacement
Whether a bumper cover can be repaired or needs to be replaced depends on the type and extent of the damage. Small cracks, scuffs, and scratches can often be repaired. A cover that's severely shattered or missing mounting points may need replacement. We assess the damage and explain which approach makes sense.
Refinishing and Color Matching
After the repair, the bumper cover is refinished to match the vehicle's color. Because bumpers are a different material than the metal panels around them, color matching takes care to get the shade and texture right so the bumper doesn't look noticeably different from the rest of the vehicle. We use high-quality materials and apply three coats of clear coat where refinishing is part of the repair.
