The rear bumper has been dented for two years, but it was tapped by a truck last week in the same place and now the bumper has several big cracks. Is there a way to temporarily patch this, or do I need an entire new bumper? If I take it to a dealer's body shop, what can I expect to pay for the bumper and labor? How many hours of labor does this involve?

    The bumper's can be repaired but to get the paint to adhere to the bumper it must be done right.New bumper's come unpainted and so have to be prepared and painted.
    Repairpal is not set up for body work estimates. It's impossible to give an estimate on body work without seeing the extent of the damage and being able to see if damage is superficial or more extensive. You will have to go to several body shops in person with the car so they can give you an estimate and advice. If you are not going through insurance tell them that straight off.
