    Default 2017 Mazda3 bumper replacement by Airport Mazda - 1500$, is it worth?

    Folks,

    i got to replace my 2017 mazda3 front side bumper because it is fully damaged, so i went to Airport mazda dealers to get a quote for the new bumper with white paint. Im surprised to see the final quote they have given after inspection.

    Bumper - 450
    Paint - 200
    Labor - 700
    Taxes - 120
    (i gave approx figures)

    but all coming to around 1450!!!. is it worth? if not can i get some alternative place where i can get this fixed with no compromise in quality.
    Appreciate your response!!!.

    Thanks
    Raju

    I would look elsewhere, that seems very expensive. There are several body shops that users recommend. In the Mississauga area - Auto Magicians is a TM3 sponsor and does good work for a fair price.
    In the Markham area - Velocity AutoBody, or Friendly AutoBody are options.

    700$ for labor? that seems very high for something that can be done in less then an hour. I would go elsewhere or just do it myself.

    If you're comfortable removing yours and installing the new painted one, here is a video of how to take it off the car. The only parts not shown would be to transfer the added on parts like trim and stuff
