Assuming you're talking about your car? If you have comprehensive coverage on your vehicle, file it through your insurance. If not you'll have to pay to fix it yourself, then put that coverage on your car in case it happens again.

Either use insurance, pay out of pocket, or google up some youtube videos and try fixing it yourself.

Look into paintless dent repair. Depending on the extent of the damage it's a lot less than most insurance deductibles.

It's fixable. If you have comprehensive on your auto policy it will cover it.

Many years ago an insurance appraiser told me hot weather will pop out many of the smallest dents. Not sure if that's true or not.

We got hit at work today but no cars were damaged.

That hail was crazy! Ducked into a gas station on Hillsborough St to take cover

I just had an estimate for damage on my car that was hit by hail last night. $2209! All dents will be fixed by a paintless repair method.

Good luck getting work scheduled. With all the hail damage they are crazy busy. I got a check from Geico a month ago and haven't been able to get on the schedule.

Having just recently gone through this, I'll admit that I was totally amazed at the paintless dent removal process. My car had over 500 dents, from hail stones the size of quarters and 50 cent pieces. Today you can't tell it ever happened. I used the guy who does dent removal for the local Cadillac, BMW and Mercedes dealerships, so I avoided all the horror stories of the fly by night gypsies who chase these storms. Kudos to my body guy for making this very cost effective recommendation. He created even more customer loyalty in the process.

Can you give me names of who you used? My husband will need repairs as well. I wouldn't call them dents, they are more like dings.
