Hi Guys,

Anyone had any experience getting hail damage repaired? Is it normally expensive?

Depends on how much damage you've got, if you've a few really small dents here and there, paintless dent removal is reasonably priced (can be as low as $100), if you've got large dents everywhere then it could be a write off.


All depends on how much damage has been done.

I remember a while ago my brothers mate bought a magna heaps cheap coz it had hail damage. No panel was any good. The whole car had 100's of dents...looked like golf balls had hit it everywhere.

you could get it done really cheap just bog it up. but that would be the dodgy way out

I've been told you need to act fairly quickly if the paintless dent removal is going to work well. Can anyone shed any light on this? I've been told I'm probably looking at $100 per dent.

never had first hand experience

but it is very hard to repair the actual panels! BOG IT UP is the best way or just replace them with new ones

one of my workmates bought a black VY ute cheap with heaps of hail damage
Got the dents pulled out a few months later , Not sure of the price but they done a good job
