Question Hail Damage. HELP!!!

I have had some dents from the hail since this past summer. I don't have the money to take my car to a shop right now. Anyone have tips on removing hail dents?

Re: Hail Damage. HELP!!!

body work isnt free,so the only tip i have is to save money to get it fixed.

depending on how bad it is i guess you could call your insurance company and see if they would fix it.

i have seen a few guys around my town at dealerships that use suction to take out dings/dents...im guessing they can only do up to so big though. im not sure how much it is,but it doesnt scratch the paint and theres no body involved,you should check into it.

I don't know you can remove hail dents without money. The paintless dent repair folks can to wonders with hail damage, if it is not too severe.

Re: Hail Damage. HELP!!!

I had dents in my back panels and had them removed by a dent guy . It was only like 150 for both panels and they had about 5-6 dents total one of which was very big. He got them all out and you could never tell they were there in the first place. . Find one around you and see how much they want. It might not be that much.
