My Vibe got hail damage...

Post by QUIKAG »

I'm kind of bummed out. A lot of little pellet dings all over the hood and roof. There are also some on the fenders. I'm hoping paintless dent repair can fix it..... I'm meeting with an insurance agent on Monday or Tuesday.

That REALLY sucks....Although if you need a paint job from your insurance from end to end you could paint that baby yellow

Sorry to hear of your misfortune, Quikag, that really does suck. Hope all goes well with the insurance company and the claims adjuster they are sending to handle your claim. Sometimes those guys can be real jerks, sometimes they're real cool about things.BTW--insurance will only pay for repairing/replacing the damaged body parts and returning the car back to its' original condition. A free yellow paint job will, unfortunately, be very unlikely.

Certainly paintless dent repair should be able to fix that without any trouble. If they can't try another one. Some are better at it than others.

Thanks guys! I think most, if not all, of the dings will be able to be taken out with paintless dent repair. I'll let you know how it goes. A lot of cars in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area got hit pretty hard.
