How Long Does It Take to Replace a Front Bumper at a 4S Shop?
2 Answers
Replacing a front bumper at a 4S shop takes approximately 1 hour. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Bumper: A bumper is a device that absorbs and mitigates external impact forces during collisions, providing a cushioning effect to protect both the vehicle and the driver. 2. Front Bumper: In addition to maintaining its original protective function, the front and rear bumpers of a vehicle also aim for harmony and unity with the body design, as well as lightweight construction. Currently, the front and rear bumpers of cars are made of plastic, commonly referred to as plastic bumpers. A plastic bumper consists of three parts: an outer panel, cushioning material, and a crossbeam.
Replacing the front bumper depends on the specific situation. When I was getting my car repaired at the 4S shop last time, I saw someone else getting their bumper replaced, and it took at least half a day at the fastest. It mainly involves three steps: removing the old bumper takes about half an hour, painting the new bumper is the most time-consuming part—requiring at least four to five hours to ensure the paint dries properly—and finally, installation and adjustments take another hour or so. However, if the shop is particularly busy, you might have to wait in line, and if they don’t have the part in stock and need to order it, it could take two or three days. I recommend calling ahead to check the parts inventory and, if possible, avoiding weekend peak hours for repairs to save a lot of waiting time.
