Hail Damage and Paintless Dent Repair Cost Calculator

Dent repair price check - try our free online instant car hail damage and auto dent repair cost calculator and get an idea about how much it will cost to fix car hail damage on your vehicle. Even two cars parked side by side can each sustain completely different degrees of damage, to get an official "repair cost" you'll want to have a qualified hail repair facility inspect your vehicle. While it's not intended to take the place of a proper written estimate from a credible repair shop, it should assist you in deciding whether or not you should file a hail damage insurance claim, double checking the amount your insurance adjuster paid for PDR (paintless dent repair) hail repairs to be performed, or any other decision about what to do with your hail damaged vehicle and about how much paintless dent repair service costs. When using the free online Dent Repair Calculator, you should keep in mind that the dent repair cost shown does not account for disassembling and reassembling the vehicle's trim panels (think headliner, finder liners, etc) that are typically required to gain access to the dents. If you'll look at your car hail damage insurance estimate, there should be a numerical value listed as "R&I" (which simply means remove and install) which represents the labor time allotted for this part of the dent repair cost. Also missing from the prices shown in the free online dent repair cost calculator is the amount needed to replace any hail damaged moldings that your vehicle might have. The cost to replace these trim moldings, usually found on the doors and roof panel, is usually between $60 - $100 per molding, which can add up quickly making it very important to get a thorough estimate on your hail damaged car so you do not miss out on any hail money you are owed! Hail repair estimates are always fast and free at any Dealer's Hail & Specialty location, and with our mobile ClaimsConcierge service, we can even estimate your vehicle's hail damage at your home or office, free of charge.

What Is The Average Cost of Paintless Dent Repair?

The average cost of Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) varies by location, but is typically based entirely on how bad the damage is. For a small dent or minor door ding, you can expect to spend about $50 per dent. However on more difficult to repair auto body damage, such as a creased panel or a dented body line, you should expect an average PDR dent removal cost of around $200 per dent, considerably less than the cost of repair at most body shops. With no panels to replace or refinish, the average cost of Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) service is significantly less than conventional body shop dent repair methods. It's also worth noting that PDR repairs can be performed in a fraction of the time required for repairs at the body shop, further increasing the value of this revolutionary process. For more information, check out this article about the cost of PDR dent repair service.

​For auto hail damage repairs, PDR dent removal cost is calculated with a hail pricing chart, or matrix, which assigns prices to each panel based on the average dent size, referenced by coins, along with the numerical range most closely matching the total number of dents on the panel. For example, the dent count on a hood might be 45 quarters, as in a total of 45 dents with an average size of a U.S. $0.25 coin (about an inch). Additionally, any dents on a panel in excess of half dollar size, or about 1 1/2", are known as "Over-Sized Dents" and are calculated at a cost of $40-$50 per dent on most insurance companies' hail pricing charts. Historically, most vehicle panels have been made from steel, but today many manufacturer's have started using lighter alloys such as aluminum to increase fuel economy. Aluminum panels in particular are much more difficult to repair than steel using the process of Paintless Dent Repair, thus those panels receive a 25% price markup on almost all Paintless Dent Repair Hail Matrixes.

​As you can see, the average cost of Paintless Dent Repair service varies widely from place to place and vehicle to vehicle, especially with hail storm damage. For this reason we have created a free online Instant Paintless Dent Repair Cost Calculator to help you get an idea about the cost of having PDR dent repair service performed on your car. While its not intended to take the place of a proper auto hail repair estimate from a reputable PDR dent repair shop, the Instant Paintless Dent Repair Cost Calculator will help you decide if the cost of paintless dent removal service exceeds your insurance deductible and is worth filing a hail damage claim over. It should be noted that if your auto insurance policy includes comprehensive coverage, your car is covered against any damage caused by hail or other severe weather events. On most hail damage car insurance claims, the insurance company pays the entire cost of paintless dent repair or other auto hail dent removal service, minus your deductible amount. Insurance deductible costs can be as little as $100, or as much as $1000, with $500 being the average - still a lot of money to have to shell out for something outside of your control.
