Rear Bumper Hit While Parked
Good morning, I own a 2010 Lexus IS250 Hyrid 4DSD. Walked to car to discover my car was hit. Not major damage but visible; paint damage, rear bumper and reflector is cracked, clips seem to be snapped half way. I push it back in, drive off, bumper pops out again. Will whole bumper need to be replaced? Should I take to a reputable Auto Body Shop or should i take to dealership?? My deductible is $1000, damage will not exceed that. I will have to come out of pocket.

Buy a new bracket. Buy a reflector if you want. Get some touch up paint and be done. This is a min $350-$500 job if you take it in. If you want to be slick. Call around and ask the shop how much to repair scratches about half hour of work and refinish. Give them the paint code. You might be looking at $150-$200. But at the same time you are removing it yourself and reinstalling after. Easy to do btw. GL
