slide hammer and stud gun or hammer an dolley, easy fix for you, but im guessin....triple digites no more because price is flat rate...they estimate how much time it takes and price per hour and thats the charge..to me it looks like...a day or two of work so it shouldnt be much no panel replacment is needed

well you're luck you didnt crack the bumper, if you did that would have been an extra 200 or so just to replace that. My guess would be 400.

the only damage that needs to b replaced is directly under the tail light. bumper can b sanded, primed, paint.

not really....hammer and dolly or a stud gun would get that out....ive done a similar repair on an acura integra...(although id rather have just smashed it myself)

Why when the bumper is not cracked orbadly damaged, its just scuffed a bit.

the cost of a new stock bumper is more expensive than fixing the one on the car
