You likely have noticed small dents, dings, and stone chips on your vehicle after years of driving. A hailstorm can inflict similar damage in just a few minutes. Wind and hailstorms are among the costliest types of storms. According to USA Today, hailstorms in the United States annually cause between $8 billion and $14 billion in property damage. The damaged property includes vehicles caught out in the open during a sudden hailstorm, and auto hail damage repair costs are included in the total.

Auto Insurers Cover Hailstone Damage

If you have comprehensive coverage on your automobile, it should include coverage for hailstone damage. The high cost of new and many used vehicles forces more people to finance their purchases of new and used cars. If you financed yours, it should have full coverage insurance protection. Full coverage includes comprehensive coverage for auto hail damage repair.

Lienholders Require Hailstone Damage Repairs

When lienholders underwrite auto loans, they require borrowers to carry full coverage when using their vehicles as collateral to secure the loans. The lienholder also requires you to repair any damage that might occur using the insurance protection you are supposed to provide. The lienholder also could add the cost of collateral insurance to your auto loan to fix the vehicle if you don’t have auto insurance to repair it.

Hail Damage Repair Shops Remove Small Dents

Most hailstones cause small dents that an experienced auto body technician can remove without damaging the paint. Paintless dent repair enables technicians to remove dents and quickly restore a vehicle to new condition. Because no paint is required, the work is fast and affordable. When insurance covers the repair cost, you might pay a deductible and nothing more to restore your vehicle and its value.
