Bumper Repair Recommendation

Can anyone recommend a bodyshop in the Westchester County area in NY for a small repair to the front plastic bumper? Thanks.

Yes, J&B Body Works.

Also I would highly recommend just doing a simple google search to find rated places. With that said, J&B is in Mt. Vernon and I've always seen high caliber cars there, Bently's Aston's etc. etc.

Good luck dude

Sounds good. I will stop by there during the week for an estimate and I'll also try Google. Thanks for your help.

Very minor dent/small tear, under the headlight on the curve, on the plastic bumper. I'm really trying to avoid replacing the entire bumper and painting the entire bumper and money is NOT the reason. Any suggestions? Thanks.

i do bumpers all day long, being in brooklyn home of the bump and park, bumpers are very bitchy at times, 3m makes killer products to get them fixed up pretty well, the biggest thing is the paint, no matter how well you refinish a bumper depending on its enviorment, a refinished bumper isnt as good as a new bumper. if you are always in a drive way and never park on there street where you arent subject to bumping then a refinish will work great. if you are in a higher than average impact area then a new one is the way to go.

Do you think you can match silver and blend it since it really is such a small area? That's really the way I want to go. The car is always garaged and is not my main vehicle. Let me know your thoughts and send me your info. Thanks.

blending the silver isnt that hard for a really good painter. the entire bumper still has to be cleared. take a pic of the damaged area and send it to my email 3jsauto@gmail.com and we will take it from there
