Toyota Prius

Recently we had a customer with a Toyota Prius that had some bumper damage. Upon inspection of the vehicle, we found damage behind the bumper cover to the absorbers and reinforcements. The customer asked, “Why can’t you just replace the cover or repair the absorbers and reinforcements? I dont care about the stuff I can’t see.” The issue with that is safety. While it may seem cost effective to repair damage to bumper components, specifically impact energy absorbers and reinforcements, there is no way to certify that a repaired part will function as originally intended under all future operating conditions and subsequent collisions. Original Equipment bumper components comply iwth Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards established under the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. So it is recommended to replace damaged bumper impact energy absorbers and reinforcements with genuine new original equipment replacement parts only! Please don’t risk refusing a quality repair to save money and risk harm to you and your passengers. At Latuff Brothers, we won’t take that chance.
