Default Anyone have good experience(s) with mobile bumper repair service?

i have a pretty big crack on my rear bumper on my g35. i was wondering if anybody on here used a mobile bumper repair service or heard anything about them?

my biggest concern is paint matching but all of the places i have called are guaranteeing their work and that their paint match is spot on.

They come to you...repair AND repaint the bumper?

I've never heard of such a thing.

I had work done by a mobile repair place.

They filled a 1/2" deep, 3"x6" gash missing from my rear bumper.

Repair work seems nice, and has held up for the last 3 years. The paint color match isn't 100%, maybe 98%, but since I have "Milano Red", its difficult to match without doing the proper "tricolor" coat. Minor orange peel, no runs. Very little overspray for being painted on the side of the road.

Eh, everyone I have asked, can't tell it has been repaired while looking from 10 feet. I can tell, but is my car, and I need to be within 1 foot to notice the orange peel anyway.

I had the work done by:

Hey I actually work for a mobile bumper repair company. And i have to tell ya it could go either way dependin on what tech you get to do the work. Some half *** and some are pretty professional. And as far as paint match you shouldnt have a problem, all techs have laptops with colornet or whatever program to get the color, scales to weigh and all toners and pearls to mix the paint. But you say you have a pretty big crack. And my company we dont remove the bumper some might idk. So if they just repair it from the outside they wont warranty it at least i wouldnt cuz it will crack again. But if they do take it off they can fix it from the inside you should be cool. Hope this helps.
