If you're like most people your car by now probably has at least one ding or dent in it somewhere. It doesn't matter where you park or how far away from the front entrance of the mall that you park, it could happen anywhere that you get that dent or ding. A child's bat or stick, someone's bicycle, a grocery cart or even a hailstorm could produce one or many dents in your vehicle. It used to be that you had to take your car to the auto body shop and it would cost you several hundred or even $1000 to fix a dent or two. But that has all changed now with the advent of paintless dent repair.

In paintless Dent repair a skilled technician will use long metal tools to slowly massage out the dents and dings. The process does not take very long and can many times be done in under half an hour. And the results are amazing. As long as the dent or ding did not break through the paint or is not any hard to treat ridge or crease the final results will be flawless. It will look like the dent or ding was never there. There are some areas like door edges and ridges which may not be able to be treated with Paintless dent repair. For these areas more traditional bodywork repairs like sanding, filler, primer and paint will be needed.

Another great thing about Paintless dent repair is that many of the companies to provide the service are mobile so they will come to you at your convenience. They are also very low cost is usually between $30 and $50 to remove a normal sized dent. Obviously larger dents or tougher areas to treat will cost more money and require more time to treat. Be careful of large namebrand franchises as they tend to charge twice as much as smaller, local places. I have heard of some large namebrand franchises charging upwards of $100 or more per dent. While this is still much better than what you would pay at atraditional auto body repair shop, when compared to competing prices you are being gouged. You should be paying no more than $30-$50 per dent to be or completely removed.

More experienced technicians rarely have to drill access holes in areas hidden in the trunk or inside doors to massage out the dents. In some instances though depending upon the location of the dent this may be necessary. Make sure the technician properly seals and/or fills the access holes when they're done. The properly trained technician will always do this as it prevents water from pooling and premature rust from occurring in the areas they've treated.

Now hail damage is another bird altogether. Severe thunder storms like the ones that produce tornadoes also produce hail which can range in size from the size of a pea to golf balls or even baseballs. Obviously the larger the size of the hail the heavier it is and the more damage it will inflict. In my years of experience in the automotive field I had seen some cars that were just so riddled with hail damage that insurance companies actually wrote them off as total losses rather than pay to have them fixed.

Obviously this will depend on the extent of the damage and how long the technician thinks it will take to remove all the dents. Some cases with larger hail can be bad enough that they are not worth bothering with. You will have to let the trained technician decide and they will always quote you a price before they start.
