My parent's 2004 Mercedes... had this damage (crack) on the rear bumper for the longest time I can remember. I guess they figure the car is so old, why bother getting it fixed? But still, how much would something like this cost to fix? Does anyone know anywhere in Melb (inner suburbs) that they could recommend for a cheap fix?

I would expect to pay around $100 at my local panel beaters.

Benz traditionally serviced parts for a good while.
However that’s repair territory. It’s minor damage as shown. A mobile repairer should be able to put it on a horse (work stand) and do in the driveway with IR lamps. $400-$600 would be my guess based on the little we can see and presuming the substructure is OK. |

I had a PDR guy repair something similar (prob worse actually) on my daughters Corolla a couple of years ago.
$300, mint job, all done at home in the driveway.

$350-500 depending on how busy the repairer is.
$100?? Perhaps 25 years ago.... Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

To have it repaired properly and repainted I would guess any where from a few hundred to grand, probably more, depending on what quality of work you want.
