Crack & Tear Repair
Plastic welding and reinforcement from behind, then filler-free contouring and refinish. Cost-effective when the cover's structure is otherwise sound.
Bumper Repair
Frontline Automotive repairs and replaces bumpers in Brooklyn, from cracked covers and scuffs to sensor-equipped bumpers that need recalibration. Cracked bumpers, broken mounting tabs, misaligned covers, deep scuffs and sensor-equipped bumpers — repaired or replaced, refinished to match, and recalibrated so your parking and safety systems still work.
Front and rear bumpers are the most commonly damaged parts on any car in New York City, and the most commonly repaired badly. A cover that gets clipped in traffic or backed into a pole almost always takes hardware with it: mounting tabs shear off, the energy absorber crushes, the reinforcement bar behind it bends, and the brackets that hold the whole assembly square get pushed back.
That is why a bumper that has just been popped back into place develops uneven panel gaps, rattles over potholes and sits low on one side. We disassemble the area, inspect the reinforcement bar and absorber, replace the broken hardware, and refit the cover to factory gap tolerances so it lines up with the fenders, hood and lamps the way it did new.
If your bumper carries parking sensors, a backup camera or radar, those components are handled as part of the job — transferred or replaced with OEM parts and recalibrated afterward, with a post-repair scan to prove the systems are functioning.
Plastic welding and reinforcement from behind, then filler-free contouring and refinish. Cost-effective when the cover's structure is otherwise sound.
OEM or OEM-equivalent covers, absorbers, reinforcement bars, brackets and clips — installed with all the hardware, not just the visible cover.
Covers are refitted to factory gap tolerances against fenders, hood, lamps and tailgate so nothing sits proud, low or crooked.
Parking sensors, backup cameras and radar units are transferred or replaced with OEM components and recalibrated with a documented post-repair scan.
Spectrophotometer matching, downdraft booth application and blending into adjacent panels so the bumper reads as original paint.
We handle the claim if you file, or give you a straight cash price when the damage is close to your deductible.
Send photos of the bumper and we quote within 24 hours — repair versus replacement, with pricing for each.
The cover comes off so we can see the absorber, reinforcement bar, brackets and any sensor damage hidden behind it.
Plastic welding and reinforcement, or OEM replacement of the cover and all broken hardware.
Primed, sealed, sprayed to your spectrophotometer color reading and blended into the adjacent panels.
Reassembled and adjusted until gaps and flush lines match the rest of the vehicle.
Sensors recalibrated, post-repair scan run, vehicle washed and inspected with you before pickup.
These are repairs documented in our own Broadway shop, with the intake photos and the finished result. Every detail below is from that repair record.

What we found at intake

In Their Own Words
Published Google reviews from customers whose repair matches this service, quoted exactly as they wrote them. Nothing is edited or paraphrased.
Because my car had been banged up twice thanks to people who can't parallel park or frequently confuse the gas for the brake pedal, I stopped by Frontline for an estimate. Ali quoted me a very fair price to repair and repaint my rear bumper. His team was very busy but still managed to squeeze me in within a couple of days. The result? It is BEAUTIFUL work! It looks like a brand new bumper and the color matches perfectly. In short, excellent service and an excellent experience.

We are glad to help! Scott, thank you for your business and allowing us the privilege of working on your beautiful car !!
I got my front bumper upgraded to a newer style BMW and fixed my cracked windshield + all my dents. Fresh paint job too and I was just stunned. There seriously the best at what they do !!!!!!
Got my Acura ILX fixed at Frontline Automotive in Bushwick after a front-end collision — bumper repair, glass replacement, even squeezed in an oil change and suspension check. Fair pricing, ASE/I-CAR Gold Class certified, and honestly the trip from Manhattan was way easier than expected. Highly recommend for collision repair in NYC
