    Default Hail damage

    When the storm came through Melbourne yesterday my Mazda was in the work car park totally exposed to the elements.
    Well i drove home in the rain and when i got out of the car i realized nearly every panel has hail damage.

    I am not happy to say the least!
    Will be contacting insurance this week.

    Not good to hear.

    There is already a thread on here about the hail, you are not alone.

    I have seen the pictures of the storm, it looked like it was crazy.

    Just call a paintless dent removal place...they fixed my baby up and she looks brand new.....


    It cost me $350 and they come to your house....mine wasnt massively damaged...but its worth getting a quote from them yourself first instead of going through the insurance company....


    Just my thoughts

    I agree!

    Mine was recently left with a nice little crease and paint missing from the back bumper in a shopping centre carpark.

    I've been quoted $330 at Moorooka Custom Repairs, the excess for insurance is $600. Sometimes it's cheaper to get it fixed yourself.

    Sorry about your car Graeme!

    Thanks for your replies people!

    I have dents on nearly every panel so i will be looking at insurance first.

    If i for some reason am not covered(god forbid) i think i will try these dent doctors.
    Thanks
