Guess the repair estimate

[WPOZZZ]

2006 Nissan Murano. My pool guy came in a little close into my driveway and scraped my SUV yesterday. I was a little shocked at the estimate I got today.

[Steve Carlton]

$2,500?

If you can get cashed out, a bumper repair guy could do a good job for $200-300.

[rattlsnak]

Standard pricing should be around $450.00 for that, but since you were shocked, I'm going to say $800?

[LeeH]

$1200

[M.D. Holloway]

$136.29 for the part, $65 labor...just north of $200 plus tax

[jorian]

5 years of pool maintenance.

My wife has done a few of these.......I buy the bumper cover color matched off Ebay for about $325 and install myself......Honda dealer wanted $800 + labor for a front very similar to this one.......

I burn the damaged one on the back 40 when I burn brush........Not a way to make friends with Tree Huggers....

[manbridge 74]

2k. $400 pre EPA.

[Baz]

MY guesstimate: $1,400.00.

Bumper Doctor for $300

[KFC911]

Some rubbing compound, a bit of touch up paint, and that's all I'd do....probably not even notice it after that....YMMV.

Most body shops have become parts changers whenever possible so I expect they quoted a new bumper cover, at a minimum, and probably even more unnecessary parts than that. Throw in labor, paint and "shop supplies" and a number north of $1,500, while ridiculous, is certainly possible. And if your estimate is from a dealer, using only authorized Nissan parts, two-grand is not out of the question.

[ckissick]

That'll buff right out. No, really, it will.

[Steve Carlton]

Not when the paint is completely gone.

[aschen]

27$ 19.99 for some touch up paint, 3.99 for rubbing compoind the rest for shipping/tax/amortized amazon prime fees


if it wasnt a 10 year old commuter car and you wanted it perfect I would say 1200 total: 400$ bumper cover + $400 paint +$400 fitting

[onewhippedpuppy]

$1200 if the light isn't broken somehow.

[cabmandone]

I just paid $700 to replace a bumper on a Dodge car that had a big cut in it. By the time a shop pads the bill with increased cost due to insurance and "blending" other panels you're probably around 1200 to 1400 though I'd guess.

^+1. It won't look perfect as new but close to.

repair cost...If pool service is $100 a month I'd guess 18 months of free pool service?
