Bumper
Bumper repair or respray in Biel
In most cases a bumper can be repaired: scratches, dents and smaller cracks in the plastic are filled or welded and painted in the car's colour. It is replaced when brackets are broken or the part is badly deformed. Carrosserie K.I. in Biel also checks the parking sensors, the radar and the crash beam behind the bumper.

Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to have a bumper painted?
＋
That depends on the size of the damage, the paint type and whether the bumper has to be removed. Sensors and trim parts also affect the work involved. Upload a photo in the online damage report and you will receive an indicative quote incl. VAT within 24 hours. The final price is fixed after the inspection.
Can a cracked bumper be repaired?
＋
Yes, often it can. Cracks in the plastic can be welded, reinforced and then painted so that the spot is no longer visible. However, if mounting points have been torn out or the crack runs through a sensor area, replacement is usually the cleaner solution. We assess this from your photos and on the vehicle.
Am I allowed to keep driving with a damaged bumper?
＋
With paint damage only, generally yes. If the bumper is hanging loose, sharp edges protrude or lights and sensors are affected, the vehicle may be objected to at a roadside check. The crash beam behind it may also be damaged. So have the damage checked quickly.

Save up to CHF 1'000

CHF 50 less
CHF 50 less than your partner garage’s quote
Bring the written quote of a partner garage or an independent body shop for the same repair: we do it CHF 50 cheaper, for example CHF 450 instead of CHF 500, incl. VAT. {insp}
