How Much Is Bumper, Scratch & Dent Repair in Orange County?

2026 Mobile Repair Price Ranges

These are real, upfront starting ranges for repairs we bring to your home or office anywhere in Orange County. A $150 minimum mobile service call applies and is credited toward your repair.

Ranges are typical cosmetic-repair prices, not quotes. Tri-coat and pearl colors, deep cracks, or multiple panels can move the price. The only way to know your number is a free photo estimate.

How Much Is Bumper Repair?

Most mobile bumper repairs run $450 to $775. A body shop quotes high for one reason: it leans toward replacing the bumper cover and repainting it, which means parts, labor, and days of shop time. Most bumper damage is cosmetic, though, scrapes, scuffs, cracks, and chips on a plastic cover, which can be repaired and refinished right on the car. We do that at your location with professional PPG color-matched paint, so you pay for the repair, not a new part and a rental car.

How Much Is Scratch Repair?

Most bumper scratch and scuff repairs run $395 to $450, sanded, blended, and PPG color-matched so the repair disappears. A quick single-area touch-up starts at $250, and a full panel refinish on a door, fender, or quarter runs $650 to $750+. A clear-coat scuff can sometimes be polished or spot-refinished for less; a scratch that cuts to bare panel is sanded, primed, and repainted to your exact factory color. Either way it is refinishing the paint you already have, not replacing a panel, so it stays well under a body shop and under a typical deductible.

How Much Is Dent Repair?

Most plastic bumper dent repairs run $250 to $700, and timing drives the price. Caught early, while the plastic still holds its shape, we can often reshape the dent back to its line with no repaint at all ($250 to $400) and keep your factory finish. A set-in, stretched, or painted-through dent needs a reshape and refinish with a PPG color match ($495 to $700+). We repair and refinish plastic bumper and painted-panel dents on-site. For paintless dent removal on a metal door, fender, or roof, we will point you to the right specialist.

What Affects Your Repair Price

• Size & depth of the damage. A palm-sized scuff blends fast; damage that wraps a corner takes more.
• Cracks or holes. These need reinforcement and filler before refinishing, so they cost more than a surface scrape.
• Your paint color. Tri-coat, pearl, and metallic finishes (like Tesla Pearl White) take extra work to match seamlessly.
• How much we blend. Feathering the repair into adjacent panels gives an invisible finish and affects labor.

A set-in or painted-through dent that needs a reshape and refinish runs $495 to $700+. We repair plastic bumper and painted-panel dents, not paintless dent removal on metal panels.
• Is it cheaper to repair or replace a bumper?+
  Repairing is almost always cheaper. Repairing and refinishing your existing bumper cover runs a few hundred dollars; replacing it with a new painted bumper runs $800 to $1,500+ and is rarely necessary for cosmetic damage. We only recommend replacement when the bumper is structurally destroyed.
• Will repair cost less than my insurance deductible?+
  Usually, yes. Most ACS bumper, scratch, and dent repairs come in below a typical $500 to $1,000 insurance deductible, which means you can skip the claim entirely, keep your premium where it is, and avoid the damage showing up on a vehicle history report.
• Is there a minimum charge?+
  There is a $150 minimum mobile service call, and it is credited toward your repair. Because we come to you, that minimum covers travel and setup for smaller jobs like a single touch-up or a small scuff.
