Hi,
anyone got a new bumper? my friend hit a big rock while he backed up his new silver IS. part of the paint fell off (size of a fist) and there's a little dent... the body shop says he needs a new bumper! he'll need to have his car in for 3 days and it'll take 10 hours of labor... cost=$700.00 (part and labor)
does it sound reasonable? the shop is probably one of the best here in seattle but under what situation does he need a new bumper? and is 10 hrs of labor and a new bumper worth 700? also..3 days? why can't the shop just order the bumper, paint it (since they have the color code) and just have my friend come in and install it? can they do that? any help is appreciated...
