The Effects of Hail on your Vehicle

Paintless Dent Repair FAQs

No matter how many precautions you take, you can't always predict when your car will sustain damage. Accidents or road debris can mar your vehicle in many ways and cause small or large dents. Hail, in particular, can cause some vehicle damage if you're not careful.


A hailstorm can cause all sorts of damage to your vehicle if it's not under shelter, depending on the storm's intensity and size of the hail. The worst damage happens when hailstones are as big as golf balls fall. These large hailstones are often responsible for creating large dents on vehicles. Another thing you'll need to worry about is the strong winds that often accompany hailstorms. These winds can increase the level of damage they can do. Aside from dents, it can also cause paint damage, cracked glass, broken mirrors, and shattered headlights. In many cases, hail is not large enough to cause paint damage, but it can cause severe dents that require hail damage repairs.


Car owners are encouraged to file hail damage insurance claims quickly and not leave vehicle hail damage untreated. If your vehicle was in good condition before, leaving the untreated damage means you're now driving around a car that's worth less than it was before.
