Well my car was a victim of the snow this year. My front bumper got messed up and my insurance cut me a check to get it fixed.

I found Bavarian Auto recycling offered a OEM spec stock bumper for $275 plus $100 shipping.

A place and they quoted me around $600 to paint and install which seems very high to me. Was wondering if anybody could recommend any shops in washington.

Im located in Tacoma. I called Paramount Centre in Fife and they gave me that quote

any help is appreciated!

thanks

yo i live in bellevue and a place called Benchmark Motoring quoted me 400 i think for front bumper painted...you can definitely negotiate with them...there are about 5 body shops in a 1 mile radius in bellevue off of 520 or 405...im sure you can find somethin cheaper than 600

thats what i was thinking. I thought $600 was too much for a non painted bumper.

ill be sure to give them a call tomorrow.

thanks for the lead

ya benchmark is super high end,they do a lot of exotics and super cars so their prices are generally higher too, so just drive out to bellevue and check out all the body shops and im sure you will find a decent deal...
