What Should I Look For in a Hail Damage Estimate?

You know that you need to have your vehicle repaired after it suffered significant hail damage, but you may not know exactly what kind of repairs your vehicle will need. Make sure you carefully evaluate your hail damage estimate to ensure that you know what it includes.

  1. What type of service are you getting? Will your hail repair include painting deeper dents, or will you use a paintless dent repair service?
  2. Does the estimate include all the hail dents and dings on your vehicle or only some of them?
  3. Will the hail repair service take your auto insurance? If it does, will it work with you on your deductible, or will you need to pay the full amount?
  4. What types of repairs will your vehicle need? Do you just need dent repairs, or do you need more extensive repairs to your vehicle?

Pay careful attention to what is included in the estimate and how the repair shop plans to take care of your dent repairs. The more extensive the damage to your vehicle, the more critical it is that you pay attention to the details of that estimate so you can choose the right one for your needs.
