Misconceptions About Vehicle Hail Damage

1. Hail Can’t Damage the Car 

A small hailstorm may not seem that big of a deal to you when you’re sitting in your home, but repeated impacts to your car from even the smallest of hail can have some serious consequences.

Hail falls under an “Act of God” under most comprehensive auto insurance plans, and thus is likely covered. Of course, you’ll need to check with your individual insurance company, and if you live in a place that often experiences hail, it might be something to consider looking into. ​​​​​​

3. No Choice in How to Deal With Hail Damage

When you receive hail damage to your car, you might think you have to choose the auto shop recommended by your insurance company to receive your hail dent repair, but this is typically not the case. It is not legal for your insurance company to pick your body shop for you or to try and make you go to a certain shop. While your insurance company may recommend you to go to a certain shop, they cannot force you to go there. It’s important to go to a shop that you trust and that you know has a proven record of hail repair and dent removal.
