How Much Does it Cost for Car/Truck Hail Damage Repair?

Was your vehicle damaged due to a hailstorm? Then you might want to know how much it’s going to cost you to have it repaired before you bring your automobile to an auto body shop. This will allow you to spot outrageous estimates because you’ll have a good idea of what most repair shops charge for Paintless Dent Repair (PDR).

What to Consider When Estimating Repair Costs

When estimating the cost of hail damage repair, there are quite a few things to consider. The first is the extent of damage done to the vehicle. The less damage, the less the cost.

If you have comprehensive insurance, you’re in luck! The next step is to find out what your deductible is. You can get this information from your insurance policy. Your deductible is the amount you have to pay in before your benefits kick in. If you have a $500 deductible, you’ll be responsible for paying for that much of the repair before the insurance company will cover the costs.

If this causes you to question the value of PDR, don’t let it. Elite Dent Company offers deductible assistance on qualifying estimates.

Last but not least, it depends on the type of repair you have done. If PDR won’t work on your vehicle, other services will be suggested. Give us a call and we’ll talk you through your options so you can make an informed decision about what to do next.

Repair Shops Vary in Price

The cost of hail damage repairs varies for every paintless dent repair shop (auto body shop). Some claim that small dents can be removed for $30-$45. Medium-sized dents cost $40-$55 per repair, and large dents are far more expensive to remove at $75-$80 per repair.

Auto Trends magazine estimates that the average cost of damage for private passenger automobiles following a hailstorm is about $2,500. That’s a pretty penny that can be avoided by parking your vehicle in a garage or under a carport whenever possible. Monitoring weather conditions through a phone, computer or TV is recommended as it helps you plan where your vehicle will be during the brunt of a severe storm.

ou want to make the best decision you can because there will be some out-of-pocket expense in many cases. Keep in mind the different benefits each shop offers like our Deductible Assistance Program because it adds extra value to the services we offer to our customers.

We Keep the Manufacturer’s Warranty Intact

Other repair shops may even go as far as repairing a panel but that’s no good. In order to get full value out of the vehicle, PDR is the way to go. It helps keep the manufacturer’s warranty intact which means that you’re entitled to full benefits as guaranteed by the company that made your car, truck, van or SUV.

Another benefit to Paintless Dent Repair is that it maintains the value of your vehicle as the repair won’t show up on your CARFAX!

Does PDR go on Your CARFAX Record?

Does PDR go on Your CARFAX Record?

Does a Paintless Dent Repair Estimate affect your CarFax Report?

In other words, if you schedule an appointment for an estimate to get dent damage fixed on your vehicle, will the auto body shop, Paintless Dent Repair shop, or dealership report the inspection of damages?

No.

If you come in after getting a door ding, hitting your mailbox, etc for a dent repair estimate it would not go on your CarFax. If there is no report of an accident, there is no proof of an accident.

This is what CARFAX says about what gets reported and by whom:

CARFAX does not have the complete history of every vehicle. A CARFAX Vehicle History Report is based only on information supplied to CARFAX. Other information about the vehicle, including problems, may not have been reported to CARFAX.

What Does CARFAX Actually Report and How?

CarFax gets its information from multiple sources and there is no 100% guarantee that everything will be documented. We hope the information we provide below will help answer a few of your questions.

Is Cosmetic Damage Reported to CARFAX?

If you are worried that every little cosmetic repair that you make to your vehicle will be reported to CarFax, this should put your mind at ease.

One of the most amazing things about getting your vehicle repaired with Paintless Dent Repair is that once the vehicle has been repaired, the condition will be just as it was before it was damaged. As long as there wasn’t any paint damage such as scratching, lifting, bubbling or chipping, the original paint warranty from the manufacturer of your vehicle stays intact.

Does CARFAX have information about accidents?

If the accident has not been reported to a source to which CarFax does not have access to, it will not show up on your vehicle’s CarFax Report.

In fact, most auto body shops and Paintless Dent Repair shops will not report any records to CarFax. If they report anything at all, the repairs are often documented as “Vehicle serviced.”

If the accident involved a police report and the accident was reported to either insurance agency, and if the damage was so severe that the car was determined to be “totaled,” the chances are good that it will show up on a CarFax.

What DOES show up on your Vehicles CARFAX?

Again, to make this article even more confusing, please understand that nothing is 100% guaranteed but the following are the most likely to show up on your vehicle’s CarFax Report.

Previous wrecks that have compromised the frame, structural integrity of the vehicle or whether or not the airbags have been deployed.

Odometer records.

DMV branding of a title due to flooding, fire or salvage.

Lemon status or cars that have been recalled or repurchased by dealers due to major issues.

A history of previous owners and whether the vehicle was used as a rental, leased or corporate car.

Service and maintenance records.

Dealer warranty information.

Safety recalls and reliability ratings.
