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 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?

NellKune if the scratches are cutting into the plastic, quote seems to be in line with shops specializing with German imports, however if the scratches are on the surface, recommend having a top end-detail guy look at it.

I was quoted something similar for my matte grey c300 coupe's rear bumper. It has parking sensors and I'm in Tennessee.
