Car advice needed
 
Where is the best place to get body work done? I got a dented bumper and don't want to pay $300 dollars an hour to get it fixed. It is plastic so there will be no painting involved. All they have to do is bolt a replacement bumper on the car and be done with it. Really don't want to pay a thousand bucks for 15 minutes of work.

Not sure where you're located, but I recently had some body work done here - http://carstar.com/store/carstar-nor...-city-missouri

They did great work at a reasonable price. They even fixed something that I didn't take it to them for, for no charge.

Since it's so easy, do it yourself. Problem solved

If it’s just a dent get a big suction cup and pull it out.

It's funny how these kinds of threads almost always end up being someone looking for quality work done for a criminally low price. Mechanic or body work isn't easy or cheap. There's a reason it's expensive. And just like anything else, you get what you pay for....

I live in the KC area, Missouri side.

If you can get to teh back side of the dent from under the car, just push it out.

Are you a girl?

If its not that bad, try looking up paintless dent repair guys. Most of the time they are mobile, can knock it out quickly, and don't charge much.

It ripped the plastic part that secures it to that side of the car or I would push it back out and reconnect it. The bumper is totally plastic and must be replaced. I don't want to get started only to find out I need special tools. Also, I hate working on cars. I can fix computers, large appliances, air conditioners and such but I hate working on cars.

The plastic bumper shells are very easy to replace. On most cars, they just clip in and you secure it with a few screws. Order one yourself and just take it to a shop to get painted.

You won't need special tools to remove that.

Sounds like a good option.

I'd advise you to just purchase a brand new car.
