Hi
Leasing a Hyundai venue. Has about 1000 miles on it but in early February cracked bumper because of narrow driveway 2 feet of snow. Hit it 2 mph. Looked behind the crack nothing there just little crack in bumper and the lower air damn thing is slightly off of it. Can someone advise how much would cost at body shop? Have 1000 dollar deductible and don't want to go thru insurance with rates that'd increase. picture attached.

I couldn't begin to guess on the cost. I expect the whole front clip will have to come off so things can be popped back in place and the cracks fixed. Should swing by a couple of local shops and ask for a quote.

You have to math it out, then. 💵

If cost of repairs/replacement exceed $1000, then file through your insurance. (They increase your rate for major accidents, but best to ask)
If cost of repairs/replacement is below $1000, then take the alternative.

You can buy a used whole bumper if you are lucky to find someone selling/salvaging it. (You will need same color)

Buying a new bumper with parts and etc. would probably exceed $1000. (Shipping, painting, and installation)

Or take it to a body shop, and hope they would quote you less than $1000. (Keep in mind that you won't have a car for a few days while they repair it).

Or you could just return it to Hyundai "as is" after the lease, and see how much they charge you for it. (Hopefully, less than $1000)

Ebay...This is a bumper cover but doesn't include all you need. It would likely be your best bet to get repaired what you have.

Minor scratches and scuffs are present throughout. We don’t know the exact color code. The bumper will look best if repainted. Dented area with tear is present on the side. A tab is broken on the inside.

In case you want to take the bumper off yourself or you can print and show how easily it comes off to whoever you get quotes from. Sorry, they posted out of order.
