Paintless Dent/Hail Repair in Nova?
#1
I managed to leave my car out in a pretty serious hail storm, despite having a perfectly good garage. The result is minor, but very widespread hail damage in the form of small indentations all over the damned place. I'm probably going to make a claim for it, but wanted to see if there were recommendations on who/where before the insurance company tried to steer me to one of their places.

Also, anyone have an idea what the total bill for something like this is? I believe my comprehensive deductible is $500. I've been considering lowering that for about 6 months too. Sad

I tried to take pics of the car, but it didn't really come out with my cell phone. I need to get it wash to make it more clear and then maybe I'll whip out a real camera to see if I can capture it. In the meantime, here are pics during the storm and an after pic of the damage to my deck.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

Casey had a few dings removed and our was like $75. So $25 per....but I doubt with that many dings it would be a per ding rate.

I think it varies widely depending on how bad the dents are and how many of them there are. I would expect it to be high enough for you to just go ahead and do it through insurance and pay the deductible though.

Go ahead and do it through insurance. I had some really bad hail damage on my WRX a few years ago. It was covered under comprehensive and I was only out $100 for that deductible. They replaced my hood (it's aluminum and is super soft) and PDR'd the rest of the car. The PDR was in the area of $1800 I believe. So all said and done with the new hood it was close to $3,000
