You may want to get your vehicle repaired if it has suffered hail damage. The extent of the damages will depend on the size and amount of hail that hit your vehicle. Hail storms may not last a long time, but a lot of damage can be done to a vehicle within mere minutes. To help you understand what may need to be done in order to get your vehicle repaired from all of that damage, you will want to read through the following:
Figure Out The Cost
You want to know whether this is something you will need to pay out-of-pocket or if the insurance company will cover it. Not all insurance companies cover hail damage, so if yours doesn't, you will want to figure out other payment options. Some auto body repair shops will take credit cards and some might let you make payments until the expense is paid in full and they will then complete the repair work.
The Dents Will Need To Be Pulled Out Or Filled In
Whether the dents get pulled or popped out or filled in, will depend on the size and location of the dents. Small dings might just get filled in while larger dents can usually be pulled or popped out by professionals. This will need to be done before any paint is applied.
The Vehicle Is Sanded, Primed, And Painted
Since the damage to your vehicle is unlikely to be in just one section, it is usually going to require sanding, priming, and painting of the entire vehicle. This helps make sure that the paint matches all over anyways and that all of the paint on the vehicle looks fresh and clean.
Now that you have a better understanding of what will need to be done in order to get your vehicle repaired from the hail damage, you will want to get the process started. Be sure to first contact your auto insurance company to double-check your coverage. You need to get confirmation that hail damage is covered and you will want to find out what deductible will need to be paid by you before they will cover the rest of the cost. You can then start calling around to the local auto body shops to see who has some room in their schedule to take a look at your vehicle. The sooner you get the process started the better.
