Post Falls Hail Damage Repair
Driving in hail can be dangerous, but large hailstones can lead to serious auto body damage. Hailstones can be as large as baseballs, and when these heavy chunks of ice fall onto your car, the damage can be extensive. To make matters worse, there are likely to be multiple dents. While large hailstones are an obvious problem, even smaller hailstones can damage your vehicle’s body. It may be possible to repair small dents yourself, but we recommend leaving this type of auto body damage to professionals. If you live or work near Post Falls, hail damage repair is close at hand when you bring your car to the Knudtsen Abra Body Shop.
Most people probably don’t appreciate how much damage is caused by hail. One estimate puts the number of people who have experienced property damage from hail at approximately 3 million over the past three years. Dented vehicles represent about a quarter of that number. According to the NOAA Severe Storms database, there were 5,396 major hailstorms in the United States in 2019. As you might expect, vehicle owners who park their cars outdoors face a greater risk of hail damage, including body dents and cracked or broken auto glass.

If your car experiences hail damage, it’s best to have it repaired right away. A car with apparent hail damage will have a lower resale value, and you probably won’t feel very good about driving around in a dented vehicle. If the windshield is broken or cracked, it’s crucial to repair it right away. It’s not safe to drive a car with a damaged windshield. If the vehicle isn’t paid off or you’re driving a leased car, you may be required to repair the damage.
Here are steps to take if your vehicle is damaged by hail:
- Do a thorough check of the vehicle. Look for dents, dings, and cracked and broken glass. Document the damage and take photos of all damaged areas.
- Cover broken windows to prevent rain and snow from getting inside the car. Clean up any broken glass in the interior of the vehicle.
- Take your car to the Knudtsen Abra Body Shop for a repair estimate. Save all the repair receipts.
- If there’s only minor hail damage, the repair cost may be less than your comprehensive insurance deductible. In this case, you may decide against filing an insurance claim.
