  • Hail Damage

    Poor baby got hailed on for a good few minutes from golf ball sized hail while I was on my drive back from my girl's place. About 8 dents in total all over the top, hood, trunk, and fender of the car and may have cracked my AIT front bumper. I'm going to get an estimate sometime soon and hopefully it won't cost too much. I was saving for a nice pair of tires too...

    I don't have pictures yet, but you can only see them in certain light so it wouldn't express the damage it took. I might be able to get the front bumper though.

    Doesn't insurance cover stuff like that?

      Yeah, it does, but it's tricky. The damage is only like 10 or so dents so it might not even be worth claiming and have it done outside the insurance because my deductible is $500. Of course, if the estimate is more than say $600 then I will claim it.

          not sure about your insurance but mine doesn't have a deductible for things like that because it wasn't like a moving accident. "act of nature" or something crazy like that would cover it under comprehensive ins.

            That's why I plan on calling my agent tomorrow so I can see what my options are. I can be the safest driver in the world yet there is nothing I can do about acts of nature.

                I have AAA and when my previous car was hit with hail ( windshield broken, 6-8 good size spots ) they covered it without asking any questions or asking for a deductible ( I have a 250 ded ). Hope it works out cheap for ya!

                  Long story short my deductible was raised to $1000 dollars so it would just be best if I pay it out of pocket. They are all paintless dents so it shouldn't cost too much, but it's still a shame. Now I gotta find some dent repair shops. Anyone have experience with them they would like to share? Is it okay to go cheap on a service like that? Would I rather go to a dent repair shop or a body shop?

                    Ehh I don't know about going cheap but if you get the right guy i've heard great things. My grandpa had a cyclist pull out in front of him and had a huge dent in the side of his GTO, there was a guy that he called came to his house and repaired it in his garage. I think it was like 200 bucks but you could never tell that it was even hit.

                      I'm not going to resort to craigslist, but I would like to find the best deal in town. There are two dent removal business locally so I might hit them up.
