Up to you.


Sit on it for a few weeks. Your mom isn't going anywhere, and you can decide if you can live with it.


If there is a Certified Toyota Collision Center near you (usually as part of a Toyota Dealership Shop), they usually do pretty good repair work. You pay the dealership premium, but I've been satisfied with the work done on mine. I've gone to one nearby me twice, and the paintmatch is spot on for pearl white. At a Toyota center, front bumper and paint is going to be ~$600, probably just north of $1000 if you opt to paintmatch the hood and fender. That type of damage, Toyota collision won't refurbish the bumper. They'll make you get a new one.



You can do it for cheaper if you go to a private collision shop and have them refurbish the bumper (level the plastic, strip the paint, and paint over the current bumper). Paint match will depend on how good the shop is
