Hi all - first post here! Sometime this winter, someone or something hit & dented the front bumper of my 2016 Jeep Wrangler Sport and then took off without leaving a note. 
I looked at DIY repair videos and I don't feel comfortable fixing it. I'm in Bethany Beach, DE. The estimate I got to replace it seems high - $565 - when a new bumper cover only costs a little over $100. I've also read that I might be able to get a used bumper cover for next to nothing and pay to have it installed. Does this price seem reasonable or high? Advice?Thanks in advance. Sandi

Unfortunately, that quote does sound right for a shop to replace the cover. Retail pricing is around $250-430 depending on the brand from the sources most shops use, plus labor. I'd suggest to watch Facebook Marketplace for one to pop up (or buy one from Amazon for $125ish) and then find a local mechanic to install it, should be about an hour of labor time unless your bolts are seized.

Welcome. I agree with Jerry. Shops have overhead. Even if it takes an hour, 500 bucks is about right. If you are into the stubby look, and have some basic skills/hand tools you could do these much cheaper. https://a.co/d/gp7BKOa

Hello and welcome!! I changed out my front bumper it was not to bad and mine is a 2012. They are not the hard to change out. Like mentioned above you can find them on FB market place pretty cheap. Its the labor to change it out at a shop unless you can do it yourself or find some friends that have the know how to do it.
