Anyone dealt with hail damage?
Last month my Mazda got pummeled with hail and I finally got around to making an insurance claim on it this week. The adjuster came out today for a damage estimate and it came out to $3,813.00, should all be paintless dent removal. I went to a mobile hail damage trailer (we had a huge storm up here, they're everywhere) and they told me just to make the check out to them and they'll cover my deductible but I'm skeptical since they didn't even ask me how much my insurance company estimated. Any of you guys had experience with these places? I'd like to just get the check minus my $500.00 deductible but I have a lien on my car still so I don't think that's a possibility unless any of you have insight on this situation, I can live with the damage.

I can't imagine almost 4k in labor for dent removal. How many spots do you think there are?

^ Ever had your car in a hail storm? I've seen cars get totaled out because of hail.

Yes, I got about 8 spots on my FD. Cost me about $175.They total them out if they cant be fixed, or the car is not worth much.

The adjuster estimated 150 dents on the roof alone, not to mention the hood, doors, and quarter panels. I got lucky because alot of people on base had their cars totaled because the hail has been so bad this year.

I forgot to mention that I am now stationed in Cheyenne, WY. Sucks because I don't trust anybody up here, I'd honestly rather just take the check if that's a possibility.

oh shit im in Cheyenne also! My wife's civic got totaled. about 7,600 worth of damage on it and it didnt look that bad. They just cut us a check minus the deductible.
Have you ever seen a man eat his own head?!

Are you stationed here or live here by choice? I have a lien on my car so I think they have to make the check out to both of us which sucks.

They dont care what the check is for. They approve whatever amount the insurance tells them too. They have so much work at this point your just a number. Take your car have them knocked out and you should be fine. 3k in PDR is nothing as far as hail damage go.. yor talking about 65 bucks a dent... and theyre everywhere
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.
