Any good body shop in Houston or Austin for bumper repair/respray?

Just got home from another city and found out the front bumper of my car got scratched by someone at some parking lot...

The damage is relatively minor, as shown on the pic below. Paint got scratched off around the front grille, and the area below that got dented and scratched.

Just wondering if anyone have a clue how much it will probably cost to fix this, the color is MW and I am in Houston/Austin, Texas.

Full bumper respray shouldn't cost more than $400.00. I've gotten quotes for around €350 (in Germany), as I have similar damage (although mine is much worse) from a previous owner that I want to get fixed.

Sorry to see this. Since there is not much body work to be done, $300-400 should cover it.

Respray only around $300. If you need molding and dent repair $700

That's not too bad

The dent is very minor and honestly hard to see unless you look for it, but I'm not sure how hard it would be to make the surface even since it's plastic

Good to know, the dent on the front bumper is really minor tho, but then again I don't know how it works when it comes to plastic bumper repair
