2000 Honda Odyssey Cost to repair front bumper of 2000 Hond

2000 Honda Odyssey

Hey, I recently had a friend drive my van into a tree, which severely damaged the front bumper, which now needs to get replaced. My dad took it over to the dealership, and they gave an estimate of something like $2300 to replace the bumper. $794 was listed for parts, and the rest was labor, the majority of which was paint labor and supplies.

I was wondering if this is normal for the type of car I have. We were thinking of having somebody we know who is knowledgeable about car parts buy all of the required pieces and either fix it or get somebody else to, or there would be the option of taking it to an independent dealer.
