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.
