Hi, last weekend the road was full of snow here in Canada, and due to the road and my self not looking, i have hit a 1990's old Toyota car on the rear bumper. the bumper looks fine and there are no damage marks on it, but it is loose on one side. The bumper is still on the car on both side. The person i hit went into an auto shop and, they are asking for $250-$350 to reinstall it. The question i have is "is this the right price?" since there were no damage to the car body since the speed i hit her car was around 20-30.

That's what happens when we follow to close-always our fault. Be careful next time. Okay-you probably bent something underneath and needs time
to get realign or whatever- Yeap its a little on the high side-if you can get the owner to agree on a 2nd quote somewhere else-might be less. My 2cts its highway robbery.

Good Luck!
