Default Dealership bumper repaint

I was on an errand for work at the ford dealership, and so i ran next door to the chevy dealership to inquire about getting my front bumper resprayed. I was told that if i bring the bumper in, a respray would be about $250. This is significantly less than any other quote i have gotten, so the question is, how good of work do dealership body shops usually do? Thanks guys

I had a frame pulled at the dealer because they had the best rack but I wouldnt let them paint anything. I guess it just depends on whos running the paint shop.

Sounds like a good price though

Like anything else, it depends on who is doing the work. My guess is the Dealer wouldn't keep a painter long if he did bad work. I've had a couple bumpers painted at my dad's dealer, and the paint shined better than some brand new cars.

250 sounds about right,most not all have good body shops,dealers usually pay good so they usually have good workers
