You may have been in this situation ; your bumper has just been damaged but not so sever that you need to replace it . So you need to make a decision, should I send the car to the collision repair shop or call out a mobile guy who says they can repair it on the spot.
Pros and cons when it comes to Body Shop VS Mobile bumper repair technician.
First thing you will probably pay a little bit more at a fixed location than you would a mobile repair person. The body shop has a lot more overhead. Next, the body shop usually has your car for more that a few hours; this requires another means of transportation. Perhaps you may need to rent a car, this adds to the expense. A good mobile technician can usually repair a typical bumper in about 2 to 3 hours.
When it comes to the quality of the work the fixed location may have it over the mobile guy just a little but not by a huge amount. A mobile guy has to deal with wind, dust particles, bugs and things of that nature because he is doing his work usually outside where he can’t control the environment. At a fixed location you are spraying in a booth. There are hundreds of very trained mobile bumper repair technicians around the USA and they are going to perform an absolutely wonderful job on your car. To the regular Joe when the job is finished they would not ever see a difference .
A thing to make sure of is always check references and make sure the technician is bonded and insured before he performs any work on your vehicle. Also see if he or she stands behind their work with any type of guarantee.
The Mobile Bumper Technician will save you time, money and give you convenience.
The Body Shop is going to give you, in my personal opinion, a little better quality job, is there if you have a problem ( in case your not fully satisfied with the work), accepts insurance claims if necessary and gives your security over a mobile vendor ( here today gone tomorrow).
