Did you know that the most common body part to get damaged on a car is the bumpers? Well, they are called bumpers for a reason. But that doesn’t mean you should resign yourself to a ratty-looking car.
If your bumper is badly damaged, then it may need replacing. But if the damage is less severe, then a repair is usually the more cost-effective option.
In this blog, we discuss when it is best to replace or repair your front bumper. And we show you ways in which you can avoid the damage altogether.
Bumper Hazards
Whether you drive your car every day or just take it out on the weekends, at some point, the front bumper is going to get bumped. Or scratched, scraped, or cracked. Hazards your bumper faces include:
- Parking curbs
- Speed bumps
- Steep driveways
Parking curbs, speed bumps, and other road hazards are just waiting to give your front bumper a hard time. So, while it may be inevitable that you’ll eventually damage the bumper, the likelihood that you’ll have to completely replace it is generally small.
Replace Or Repair?
Speed bumps, curbs, and other road hazards can easily damage your front bumper. But unless you attack these hazards at serious speed, the damage is more cosmetic than structural.
A split or ripped-apart bumper will obviously need to be replaced. But in most cases, the damage will be limited to scratches and scrapes. This sort of damage doesn’t really require repair, and most people just live with the unsightly damage rather than going through the hassle of getting it fixed. After all, it’s just going to happen again, isn’t it?
Not necessarily.
