Rear bumper paint repair
This just happened. Wondering if its worth filing a claim through State Farm. Any ideas on where to get it repaired/cost? Thanks in advance for the replies.

I heard DTM in el monte does good paint work. White is hard to color match, so try to find a good paint shop.

IMO prefer to not use insurance if possible. If you use insurance it will be on both your record and the car's. So reselling will be lower.
I would just ask for $400-$750 cash from the other driver. Then you have the choice of either: -Live with it and pocket the cash -Try to polish it and touch up -Re-paint rear bumper (good quality for be about $500) |
