Well here is part of the hood of my wife's 2015 F-150 Lariat. Got every panel except the bed.

Never had this problem before...can't get this to post upright. Not that you can't see the damage with it upside down lol

Hail scares me, car damage wise. Saw a Camry last week that I think had hail damage. Either that or he parked in a golf driving range. That's how big the dings were.

Will those come off easy? I have some dents on my doors like those in your image.

You guys have had some awful weather here lately!

That sux. It's amazing how much damage hail can do. Hopefully the insurance takes care of y'all.

Ouch that is pretty nasty. Like Ebg18t said, I hope the insurance company takes care of the bill for the damages. It's a shame to have nice new truck get messed up like that.

Ouch, really sorry to see that. When I hear the "hail" word I definately get worried. I still see vehicles in the Phoenix area that got nailed quite a few years ago when a storm went through. That hail was so nasty it took out windows, outside mirror plastic was no match as they were found lying on the ground. Those PDR people seem to be very good but trying to get all those dents out must be overwhelming.

I don't think these are coming out easy. This truck has all aluminum panels

Yes we have. I've got a good guy, but he charges more for aluminum. With the number of dents I don't know that it's going to cost much less than replacing the hood. A lot of the other spots are in really bad areas for PDR. It's a super cab truck the roof probably has 70-80 dents...

About 18 years ago we had a storm come through with baseball size hail. That was really bad!!!!

Can't raise our rates which is a good thing.

1000.00 deductible, but we've saved probably triple that over the last 10 years by going with the higher deductible.

Dang, you got the bad part of that storm. I'm not far from you and luckily we had very light hail with no damage to either my car or my dad's(both outside)
