Hail damage

[harveyfamily]

We had a nasty storm move through last night that dumped a LOT of pea to marble sized hail. Unfortunately both of our vehicles got hit pretty good. My wife's Traverse hood got it the worst and some of the chrome trim around the doors got it.

 

My Sierra also got it pretty good on the hood. I have the carbon fiber decal on the hood and I'm hoping the repair won't mess that up. It could have been worse but still pissed that my truck I've had for 2 1/2 weeks has dents now.

 

We have a guy looking at both vehicles tomorrow to give us a quote on repairs.

I remember when I first got my '14 back in late April of '14 and not even a week later they called for possible hail so I prayed like hell and luckily no hail.

Hail sucks. My previous Silverado got hit bad about 10 years ago. My insurance company got the paintless dent guy to get the dings out. It looked fantastic and you could never tell. Good luck to you guys. I feel your pain.

Live in Dallas/Fort Worth as well. Other than my time in the Marines I have lived in Texas most of my life and know that hail/tornados are a common thing in the spring. We were in a closet during the storm, pictures of a tornado in the North Fort Worth /Keller area by my house were posted online shortly after. I have a neighbor in the same predicament as you. He has an $80k Audi he keeps outside in his driveway that has hail damage. A few months back when he bought it I was like man nice car, you must have some expensive stuff in your garage to keep your car outside. He was like nope, just junk and boxes. I just shook my head.

 

He said he could never tell when I was home because he never sees my truck, I told him I keep in the garage along with my motorcycle and wife's Cadi. I guess it's just me, but I don't understand the concept of leaving expensive vehicles outside because the garage is used to store items people refuse to throw away.

Same here. Live in the Lewisville area north of Dallas. Heard the hail start hitting the roof and looked outside to see the truck getting pounded. Got dents on hood, roof, and all down side of drivers side. It sucks, but hey thats why we pay insurance.

I am with ya, I am adamant that if we have a garage it is used to put the vehicles inside of it at all times. Unless our cars are at work or out running errands they will never get hail damage while they are sitting at the house, nor will I have issues with them getting broken into as well as they are park in the garage every night. Everything has its place, there is no junk I own worth more than our vehicles that would take precedent in the garage over them.

i'm just 3-4 miles from you in highland village and we had no hail. i have a 3 car garage (1 double and 1 single) and my truck doesn't fit in either one. it's a few inches too long to fit in the double and too wide to fit in the single. i parked my wife's car in the single since it fits there and put my truck in the doubel with just a few inches hanging out until the storm passed. was glad we didn't get any hail.

It makes you sick when it happens. This past Christmas I was at the in-laws when a huge hail storm hit dropping softball size hail. Ended up doing 14k in damage to my 2014. Ended up getting all new panels with the exception of the drivers side bed, 3 new doors, new hood, new roof skin, new head light, new front and rear bumpers, and a new tail light. They ended up fixing it and it looked great but it took 5 weeks to fix. I ended up trading the vehicle off because I couldn't resist jumping to a 6.2L.

I'm in the Wylie area and we got hit pretty hard.

 

Claim has been filed on both vehicles though for the hail damage. The guy we are going to have fix them is busy with dealership requests but said he could get to ours in a few weeks. He normally does PDR but he said based on the look of both of our vehicles to file it through insurance as the roofs of both were hit good and the insurance will most likely want those fixed the conventional way (which he does too). I'm hoping they cut me a check and let us pay the guy directly. He's a certified body repair tech.

 

I told my wife just this past weekend that she needed to start parking the Traverse in the garage. There is room for both vehicles technically but both in the garage means you're hitting the door of the other vehicle or in my case with the truck you're hitting the wall. She's listening to me now though...

I'm in Highland Village also and had my truck parked outside - fortunately this hailstorm passed us by....

Even those of us in the northeast can encounter this type of damage. My '98 Silverado wasn't even two years old and it was annihilated. The entire passenger side, bed rails, roof, and hood. Amazing how those dent guys can do their magic. They were from Oklahoma.

 

I'm almost certain one of the areas that can't be fixed and has to be replaced is the hood. Odd that you had damage on your hood but not your roof.
