I was in a fender bender today and have a scratch and dent on bumper. The auto body repair shop gave me an estimate of $1489 total. $189 is for parts and the rest is labor. Does this sound right? I know labor is expensive, but, come on!

Well, I had my shop for almost 35 years and it depends on the labor rate there. Most body shops have computer software to give estimates and labor costs. 

If your bumper is being removed, repaired and repainted, then yes, it could cost that much. Read the estimate real well and see exactly what they are doing. Bumper repair is expensive! Ask some questions to clear your mind.
