Why hail damage is expensive to fix

The damage can spread across the whole car.

Dozens or hundreds of dents on hood, roof, trunk and pillars.
Cracked windshields, sunroofs and rear windows.
Broken lights, mirrors and trim.
Chipped paint that may lead to rust.
Aluminium panels on newer vehicles, which can be harder to repair.

Paintless dent repair suits shallow dents, but large hailstones may require panel replacement and paint.

Insurance write-off: keep the salvage?

When an insurer declares a total loss, you usually have two choices.

Keeping salvage can make sense if a buyer offers more than the insurer deducts. Get our quote before deciding. A written-off Alberta vehicle may be branded salvage and require repair and inspection before road registration.

Let the insurer keep it

They pay the vehicle’s actual cash value minus your deductible and handle the wreck.

Keep the salvage

They pay the value minus your deductible and the salvage value; the car stays with you.

No comprehensive coverage?

With basic liability only, hail damage is your cost. On an older car, a repair quote of several thousand dollars rarely makes sense. Selling as is puts money in your pocket instead.

Hail damage is often cosmetic

Hail often leaves the engine, transmission, suspension and interior untouched. A late-model vehicle covered in dents may still have strong value for its drivetrain and parts—more than a mechanically failed car.
