How much would it cost to replace a bumper on a Honda Ridgeline?

I ran into a wood carport the other day in my Dad's truck, and totally ruined his bumper. We have car insurance, but even with that how much do you think it would cost? Would insurance go up, and by how much do you assume?


Also, the tail light is broken, how much should that cost?


I'm just trying to see how much money I should start earning to pay him back.


Thanks!|||Since it wasn't with another vehicle your insurance shouldn't go up. But that depends on your insurance company. To check prices for new parts try Partsgeek.com and AutoPartsWarehouse.com if you want used parts try your local salvage yard. Hope that helps!!!|||It's a little difficult without knowing more details about your dad's Ridgeline, like the year (models change from year to year, so the parts do too).


You can use your favorite search engine to find parts. However, since you don't know anything about cars, you probably can't get very far. For example, a bumper isn't just one piece. There's the outer piece, usually plastic these days; it's called the bumper cover. Underneath it are some steel parts (bumper reinforcement) and probably some hard foam.


Keep in mind that it's not just the cost of the parts (and body shops mark parts prices up); it's also the cost of the labor to remove the damaged parts and install the new ones.


I wouldn't be surprised if it was over a thousand dollars to replace a badly damaged bumper and tail light.





And yes, insurance does go up if you make a claim. It's impossible to predict how much.|||i am trying to find the estimate cost for the replacement of you bumper for Honda Ridgeline, however, i can't use this http://www.automd.com/repaircost/ since it lacks of the year or date it was made. well try to use that link for you to find the estimate price in replacing the bumper. hope that this helps you.|||Why would you come here and expect to get an accurate answer from strangers who might not have any real experience in repairing cars?





Only a body shop in your area can give you an accurate estimate as labor rates vary by region and damaged vehicles need to be seen in person to write an estimate. Not even a trained estimator, like myself, can write an estimate based on a description. Go to a local body shop and get a real estimate, they should give you one for free.





Anyone giving you a price here is just guessing.
