We Specialize in All Types of Bumper & Fender Repair
Our technicians handle all types of bumper and fender damage, from minor dents to more significant impact repairs. Our services include:
- Plastic bumper repair
- Dent and impression removal
- Bumper refinishing and paint matching
- Front and rear bumper replacement
- Paint matching
Because modern plastic bumpers are designed to flex and absorb impact, many types of damage can often be repaired without full replacement, including:
- Cracks and splits
- Small holes and tears
- Surface dents and impressions
When Bumper or Fender Replacement Is Necessary
Occasionally, bumpers and fenders are beyond repair and will need to be replaced. Replacing a part is always a last resort for us, but it may be required if:
- Mounting tabs are broken beyond repair
- Structural reinforcement components are damaged
- Integrated sensors are compromised
- Manufacturer guidelines require replacement
- Structural integrity cannot be safely restored
The price of a replacement part ultimately depends on the make, model, and year of your car. Since we only use quality parts and OEM procedures, you can be confident that any replacements will last.
We Handle the Insurance Process for You
After an accident, dealing with insurance can be one of the most stressful parts of getting your vehicle repaired. At Mackin’s Auto Body, we work directly with your insurance company to help streamline the claims process. From communicating with your adjuster to providing repair documentation and updates, our team helps take the paperwork and coordination off your plate so you can focus on getting back on the road.
We Make the Repair Process Easy
We know that getting repairs done is a hassle no one wants to have to deal with. That’s why we make it our goal to make the process as smooth and stress free as possible.
Insurance Handled for You
Our team works directly with your insurance company to coordinate approvals and any additional repairs if hidden damage is discovered. With your authorization, we can also accept payment directly from most major insurers to help speed up the process.
Transportation Covered
If your policy includes rental coverage, we can arrange a rental vehicle for you. We also offer a complimentary courtesy shuttle to take you home or to the office while your vehicle is being repaired.
Detailed Finishing Touches
After repairs are complete, we reinstall all panels and trim, then give your vehicle a full wash and interior vacuum so it’s clean and ready when you pick it up.
OEM & Aftermarket Parts
We use OEM or high-quality aftermarket parts that meet our strict standards for fit, safety, and performance. If a part doesn’t meet those standards, we won’t install it.

Hidden Damage After a Fender Bender
Modern bumper covers are designed for appearance and aerodynamics, but they can hide structural damage underneath. Even minor impacts may affect reinforcement bars, energy absorbers, or frame components that aren’t visible from the outside.
Professional inspection of your car after any accident is crucial to uncover any hidden frame damage by removing exterior parts. Be skeptical of receiving estimates before damaged parts are removed, since in most cases, vehicles have hidden damage.
FAQs About Bumper and Fender Repairs and Replacement
