Back Bumper Repaint $792!?
Hey Guys,
My 2017 Mercedes C300 Coupe (Blue metallic) has some scratches on the back bumper.
I could not stand every time I see that, so I used some compounds with microfiber towel to rub and ****.. they got worse. A lot worse..... I know.. it was a mistake.
so Today I brought my car to the nearest body/paint shop to get estimated during lunch time. They gave me $792 just for repainting the back bumper...
They told me they will have to take the back bumper out because of the sensors on the back bumper and stuffs.
If I don't take the bumper out and repaint it, it will be $492. But they suggested I should take the bumper out just to be safe.
so Labor charge for taking bumper out will be $304.. I live in NorCal, SanJose. What do you guys think ? Is this number reasonable? or are they trying to rip me off?
