Hail Storm last night :(

boostinss · Post by **boostinss** » Fri Apr 14, 2006 12:17 pm

Well we had a hail storm last night in south east wisconsin with tennis ball hail. I went outside after to check my 2 week old 2005 Neon SXT and the whole back window was shatered. All over my hood, roof, and trunk are 1/2in deep dents

. So i was wondering if anyone on here had any ideas how to get rid of the dents.. Thx

Yeah, get your insurance company on the phone - They'll help you out.

they use a suction cup where they can, otherwise its a tad more complicated... the insurance people would be the first place to call... you'll have to pay your detuctible and risk them jacking your rates, but its probably worth it, the window alone will be close to 3 bills to replace

The window just got fixed. Some guy came out and put a new one in for $375.

My mom just talked to the guy that put the window in and he recommended this place called Dent Doctor, but he said they probably wont be able to get most of them otu because they are so deep that the dents are creased.

True that. I was thinking it might be kinda' hard to repair... But again, I say call your insurance company... This is going to be waaayyyyy outta' your league.

Called dent doctor up its 55Cents for first dent then 45Cents per dent ofter that... So roughly i caluclated it to about 15 bucks.

Not going through insurance cuzz it would probably rise

Are you sure it's not $ instead of cents! For that price, everyone would drive to Wi to repair their dents.

Maybe it's the hail day special?

Insurance will not go up due to hail damage as its considered an act of god. Call them, get them to cut you a check and instead use the money on performance mods..

That's what I was saying, but he seems pretty set on not talking to the insurance company... Maybe he's lacking a policy?

Just playing... Maybe.

OK dude. your wasting your money. I have NEVER heard of an insurance company jacking your rates for an act of GOD. It was not your fault, it was not a collision, it was a comprehensive (if that).
Don't be uneasy about calling the people you PAY every month to cover you in situations like this.
Not even SUCK-ASS California, NO-FAULT Crap-Extortion Insurance would go up in this case.
Just trying to save you some cash man.
