if i have a couple scratches on my bumper that are a little deep (not too bad), would an auto body and paint shop be able to cover that or am i better off going with a new bumper?

 

any body shop could easily fix that with a little body filler.

 

If you were careful you could even fix that with some bondo and a touch up.

 

+1 for bondo!

 

you could fix it with some bondo but it depends on how deep it is..when i got hit i has some scratcs in my bumper and he sead that he will try and fix it with bondo but depending on how much he has to sand down it will be better for a new bumper..so i ended up getting a new bumper because just incase i ever back into something or whatever the bumper would of been to thin in that one area and would pop the bondo out..so you got to be careful about that, i would bring it to a body shop and get some opinions or estimits
