Got into a car accident going down a icy hill. Car didnt stop when I was pumping the breaks 😆. Any donations to fix my car would really help right now.

Just the broken front bumper cover? We can fix that 💪
Its going into the shop Monday to a estimate lol
I’m gonna take an educated guess and assume there’s no structural damage - you hit their back gate which is tinfoil compared to your solid steel bumper lol. The plastic cover, however, never survives. If it’s just that, could be ~$100 junkyard visit and an afternoon spent with a friend fixing it (potentially me!).
Id be down for the adventure. Im going to get a quote from a local place. I dont know anything about fixing cars lol😆
Lucky for you, I do! 🤠 What’s the year, make & model?
Ford Escape 2009.
There’s a handful of second generation Escapes (08-12) at the Kenny-U-Pull yard nearest to you (approx 18m drive), all of which have front bumpers that fit your 09. As per most bumper covers it also only takes a handful of screws and bolts to get it off/put it on. How bad is the damage on yours? Can you drive it through winter and fix it in the spring? Or is this something you’d want to address immediately?
Damage is only cosmetic. My concern is going through the car wash and having the rollers get caught on the 1 inch gap and ripping it off or having snow and water get there and cause water damage over time. Im going to see how much they will charge. If its like $500 to fix. Ill just stick with them. If not we will go on adventure. These guys color match and everything

I mean typically water is getting behind there already, it’s not an airtight cover so I wouldn’t be too concerned on that front. $500 is not bad but also like hundreds more than it would cost to DIY. Plus your car is black so easy colour to find. Also this is a fix we could do still at this time of year, it’s just cold lol. Do you have a garage?
