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.

How Much Does Paintless Dent Repair Cost?

Since there are no panels being replaced or refinished, the cost of Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) service is much cheaper than conventional body shop dent repair methods. When you consider that PDR repairs are usually performed in a fraction of the time needed by a body shop, the process's value increases even further. The cost of Paintless Dent Repair can sometimes vary by location, but is almost always based on severity of the damage. If it's a small dent or minor door ding, you should expect to pay about $50 per dent. However on more difficult to repair damage, such as a crease or a dented body line, you can expect an average cost of around $200 per dent.

​For hail repairs, PDR cost is calculated using 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 hail charts. Historically, most auto body panels have been made from steel, but today many manufacturer's have started to use lighter alloys such as aluminum in their cars. Aluminum in particular is much more difficult to repair than steel, thus these panels are given a 25% markup on almost all Paintless Dent Repair Matrixes.

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