Question about Bumper cost from casa

[migs267]

Anyone here can comment on the repair estimate provided to me by the casa for the remove and replacement of new bumper?

New Bumper - 21,535Ph
Labor - 6776Ph
TOTAL: 28,311Ph

The car is brand new and under warranty so the insurance will shoulder the cost. The casa assessor suggested to replace the damage bumper with new one instead of repair it. For me it is okay, though there is a small amount of participation but the thing that bothers me is the cost estimate.

IMO it is way to expensive. Is the bumper really cost that much? Including the labor? Or they over price it knowing the casa will shoulder it?

What do you think guys??

They overprice everything for insurance purposes (since you'll be paying only a small participation amount).

However, real world prices are significantly cheaper.

To give you an idea, the cost to dismount, prep, paint, and remount a bumper is about Php3,000.00 all-in at a good body shop.

No idea on the price of your bumper itself, though.
