Can hail damage be repaired?
Although at first glance hail damage seems terrible, there are various methods of repair, so the cost of restoring it to its original condition does not have to exceed the value of the car. Unexpected ice from the sky made life miserable for many drivers. After the clouds clear, the hood and roof are left with numerous craters, larger or smaller, depending on the size of the city and the thickness/quality of the sheet metal. Can these damages even be repaired so that the car is like before? They can, and it should be done as soon as possible if the damage is more serious, since corrosion will quickly occur in that place. When it comes to the hood, it is sometimes more worthwhile to buy a new one, but this also depends on many factors – the degree of damage, the age of the vehicle, the availability and cost of a replacement part, etc.
