So, your car is damaged by hail, and now you’re wondering “How much will this cost?” and to be frank, you’re very worried about how much it will cost. Well, it depends on a variety of factors, and this price guide will give you the assurance you need to know about hail damage repair costs and important information to help you make a better decision based on your repair needs.
How Bad Is the Damage?
When thinking about repair costs, it’s important to know how much hail damage is done to your car because the repair cost will depend on the severity of the damage. You’re probably thinking “Great, that is going to cost me an arm and leg,” but that may not be the case which is why it’s important to accurately assess the damage to your car before exploring your options. This will help you choose the best solution that fits your needs. When assessing the hail damage, see if there are a few or many dents. Are these dents minor or bigger in size and depth? This information is also helpful to know if you are requesting a free estimate on our website to get an idea of what you can expect for the cost of the repair. We strongly suggest getting estimates, in general, to better understand what the repair cost would be and what is included in the total cost.
As far as methods of hail damage repair, we recommend Paintless Dent Repair, or PDR (a cost-effective method with a quick turnaround time) for a few minor dents. If the damage is more extensive, then there’s the normal repair process that involves sanding, filling, and repainting. Either way, both methods are effective in hail damage repair depending on your specific needs.
We’ve Got You Covered
Once you have decided on the best method for your repair needs, visit your insurance policy to see what coverage you have for hail damage repairs. If you have comprehensive car insurance coverage, then you’re in luck. Your comprehensive car insurance will cover repair costs, but a deductible will need to be paid. Now, when you repair with us, at Dent Mechanic Group, you can forget about a deductible because it’s completely covered by us. Just some advice from the professionals, If there’s ever an opportunity to save money, take it! Even if you don’t have comprehensive car insurance, viewing your policy will give you an idea of your out-of-pocket costs, so you can plan accordingly.
Let’s Face the Facts
Let’s say even after all of this you’ve decided to put off getting your car repaired. Unfortunately, you’ll be doing more harm than good because the damage to your car will make it susceptible to more damage, and this will cost you more money in the long run. For example, rust damage, which can easily occur as a result of unrepaired damage, is not covered by insurance which can be a costly repair to pay out of pocket.
In addition, DIY methods are not recommended because of the many disadvantages that follow, thus, causing more problems to your car. It’s best to take care of the damage when it happens to avoid being in situations like this. When you leave your repair to the experts, you can expect to be back on the road in no time.
