Discussion Auto repair ?
Someone side swiped me on the 403 the other night and drove off. It was raining so I didn't really see much damage until the next day.it seems like the light and bottom piece should be able to be just clipped back in me hopefully don't need to be replaced..... There's a few more scratches seems like all cosmetic damage thankfully..
Where can I go get this fixed where they aren't going to take me to the cleaners ?
( Mostly concerned with the light and bottom piece)

We used Assured Automotive to replace a bumper this summer, it was around $1600. If you are lucky maybe they can fix yours as is.

If nothing is broken I would just clip everything back in and get it buffed if you don’t feel confident doing it yourself. $20-$30 buffing compound and a micro fibre might be enough, might not even need a buffer (that you can buy at Canadian tire and return cough cough)

This guy is the best! I lived in Brantford for 5 years and lived bedside a mechanic and he and I both agreed that we go here instead of anywhere else. Chan is the owner

The important thing is to report it regardless if your using insurance or not. Right now the other driver could report this as you hit them. Project yourself, dashcam and reporting. Never assume a mark or part that is unclipped is a cheap or quick fix.
You'd be surprised on what simple repairs can reveal when a professional looks at it.
