Our team uses only the most respected and industry-leading repair methods, including paintless dent repair (PDR) and traditional bodywork, to restore vehicles to their pre-damage condition with precision and quality.
Understanding Auto Hail Damage Costs
When your vehicle suffers from hail damage, the repair costs depend on multiple factors, including the number of dents, their severity, and the affected panels. Minor dents might cost as little as $30 each to repair, while severe damage requiring part replacements can push repair bills into the thousands.
Insurance & Cost-Saving Considerations
Many insurance policies cover hail damage under comprehensive coverage, but understanding the claim process is essential. If the cost of repair exceeds the car’s value, the vehicle may be considered totaled, and the insurance company may offer a payout instead of covering repairs.
Ways to Reduce Repair Costs:
- Insurance Claims – Check your deductible and ensure you file a claim quickly.
- Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) – Costs less than traditional bodywork for minor dents.
- OEM vs. Aftermarket Parts – Opting for aftermarket replacement parts can lower costs.
- Hail Repair Specialists – Choose shops specializing in hail repair to get the best rates.
The Cost of Auto Hail Repair & Getting an Estimate
Getting a professional hail damage estimate ensures an accurate assessment of repair costs, factoring in dent severity, panel accessibility, and necessary part replacements.
For a typical mid-size car, moderate hail damage repair costs can range between $1,500 and $3,500, while severe hail damage that affects nearly all exterior panels may exceed $7,500 to $15,000. Insurance may cover some costs, but deductibles and coverage limitations can impact the final out-of-pocket expense.
Key Cost Factors:
- Size & Depth of Dents – Larger dents require more extensive repair, increasing costs.
- Panel Accessibility – Hard-to-reach areas like roof rails require additional labor.
- Paint Damage – If hail chips the paint, repainting adds to the final price.
