What does the damage type «Hail» mean

Hail damage is a common cosmetic issue for cars from the southern US states. It generally does not affect mechanical reliability, but leaves dozens of small dents across horizontal surfaces.

What may be damaged

hood, roof, trunk lid, upper portions of fenders
windshield (cracks)
paint and clear coat

What to keep in mind

loss of presentable appearance, difficult to resell without repair
corrosion risk where the clear coat has been breached

Our advice: Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) in Ukraine typically costs $400–$1,500. It is one of the most popular and cost-effective ways to restore a hail-damaged car.
