Talk About Sticker Shock!

There are many things that make one gasp.  Sticker shock is one of America’s great maladies.  When you have a fender bender and see the cost to repair it that can be one of them!  It helps to have an understanding of what a car bumper is.  Today’s bumpers are an integrated component of the vehicle and perform far more functions than just protecting the body from damage.

Here are some of the labor components that are involved –

1.  Lights.  They are wired to the bumper and must be replaced in many cases.

2.  Trim.  Today’s bumper usually has several trim pieces.

3.  Warning systems.  In this era, you often find them in bumpers.

4.  Air Intakes.  In some modern models a cold air intake is featured.
