The problem with a scratch in the bumper is that they wouldn’t repair it, they’d replace it. And that costs thousands. For just a scratch I wouldn’t have it repaired unless you can try to do it yourself. I’ve always lived with the dings of life and don’t try to keep a car perfect.

Years ago I scratched the bumper of a brand new minivan in a parking lot. It was a barely visible scratch. When my insurance company informed me it cost more than $4000 I was flabbergasted. They said scratches couldn’t be repaired on plastic bumpers, they just replace the whole thing.

This was in the early 1990s I think.
