Repair or replace? What decides it

Most modern bumpers are a painted plastic cover over an impact absorber and a reinforcement bar. Whether yours can be repaired depends on what is damaged, not only on how it looks from the outside.

  • Often repairable: scuffs, scratches, paint transfer, small dents and short cracks in the cover.
  • Often replaced: large tears, several cracks, missing pieces, or broken mounting tabs that can no longer hold the bumper straight.
  • Check behind the cover: the absorber, reinforcement bar, brackets, lights and any parking sensors or cameras can be damaged even when the cover looks fine.

That's why the photo price is a ballpark: we confirm the plan once the car is at the shop.

How bumper repair works at CMD

  1. Text photos to (313) 444-0236 or upload them for a quick ballpark price.
  2. Bring the car in. We inspect the bumper and what's behind it, then write the estimate.
  3. Once the estimate is approved (by your insurer, or by you if you're paying yourself), we repair or replace the bumper.
  4. We refinish it with the Sherwin-Williams paint system, blend the color into the panels next to it, and refit it.
  5. Pick up your car. The work we perform comes with a lifetime warranty.

Bumper damage and insurance

We work with all insurance companies, and under Michigan law you choose your repair shop. Whether to file a claim is up to you. Confirm your coverage and deductible with your insurer. If another driver hit you and you don't have collision coverage, Michigan's mini-tort law may let you recover part of your costs. How insurance claims work →

Common questions

Can a cracked bumper be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?
It depends on where the crack is, how big it is, and whether the mounting tabs or the parts behind the bumper cover are damaged. Small cracks, scuffs and dents in the cover can often be repaired. Large tears, several breaks, or broken mounting points usually mean replacement. We decide after looking at it in person.
Will the new paint match the rest of my car?
We refinish bumpers with the Sherwin-Williams paint system and blend the color so it matches the panels next to it.
Should I file an insurance claim for bumper damage?
That's your decision. Many drivers compare a ballpark repair price with their deductible first. Check your policy, or ask your insurer, about your coverage and deductible. We work with all insurance companies, and we also take cash, credit/debit cards and Zelle if you'd rather pay yourself.
Is the photo price for my bumper the final price?
No. Photos get you one ballpark starting price. Damage behind the bumper cover often can't be seen in photos, so the final price comes after an in-person inspection.
Can I drive with a loose or hanging bumper?
A bumper that is hanging, dragging or loose can come off on the road. Don't drive the car until it is safely secured, and have it looked at as soon as you can. If lights, sensors or the hood latch were hit too, have those checked before normal driving.
