How Long Does It Take to Replace a Front Bumper at a 4S Shop?
2 Answers
If the bumper is pre-ordered and pre-painted, it can be done in about an hour. If not pre-ordered and the bumper requires painting, it usually takes around 3 days. Below is some relevant information: 1. The car bumper (also known as the anti-collision beam) is located at the front and rear of the vehicle. It is designed to minimize damage to the vehicle's safety system from external impacts and reduce injuries to passengers during high-speed collisions. Modern bumpers are increasingly designed with pedestrian protection in mind. 2. For the average person, it is difficult to distinguish between an original bumper and a non-original one based on packaging, quality, or craftsmanship. Compared to external repair shops, the bumpers replaced at a 4S shop are much more likely to be original.
My experience of replacing the front bumper at the 4S shop made me realize that timing is indeed crucial. After my car got scratched and was sent to the shop, I had an appointment at 9 AM. The technician took only an hour to inspect and remove the old part, but installing the new bumper took another two hours. Since the painting wasn't done in advance and there was a long queue at the paint shop, the whole process wasn't completed until 4 PM. This was considered fast; during holidays or when parts are out of stock, delays of over a day are quite common. It's advisable to confirm painting requirements when making an appointment, as some car models require custom-colored bumpers, adding to the waiting time. Although the entire process took half a day, the professional service ensured a secure installation, giving me peace of mind while driving.
