Just had to replace right hub and speed sensor all fault codes gone and drives great just looks bad I may just replace the hood and deal with the smaller dings a little at a time.

A good paintless guy can work wonders...just make sure you get one that attended a class or school to learn the trade. not somebody who is self taught. the only drawback to it is, it is possible for the paint to crack where the dent is. not likely, but can happen. a good guy should warn you of that. I have a good one local that has done some amazing repairs so they are around.

I'll have to find someone locally but other than the hood the rest are light and shallow you have to really look down the panel to see them but like the rest of you all on here with OCD I know their there and it bothers me.

Light and shallow is good, even better for the paintless guy. costs less to do, less time and less chance of cracking in the paint.

Last year we had about 20 cars on our sales lot damaged by hail. Our PDR guy worked on them for almost a month but he fixed every one of them and they were perfect! After witnessing his work I let him fix a couple spots on my car. I can't say enough for paintless dent repair. In Maryland were required to use water based paint, and I don't care what they say it doesn't age the same as the factory paint.

And that there is is a profound statement, for me i see some swirl marks on mine when the sun hits it a certain way and i'm all in a knot
Hoping it works out for you.

This is a tough pill to swallow and I've experienced this kind of thing first hand. Technically, the hail damage is not the fault of the dealership nor the body shop. Unless there is something unique with you state insurance laws, "Acts of God" (i.e. storm related damage) are not considered liability. Therefore, your insurance will have to pay for the hail damage. This usually falls under the same comprehension coverage like the damage from deer. Sucks, I know.

Unless the repair estimate exceeds 2/3 the value of car, both repairs will be handled by your insurance. Do you have pictures you could share?

Good luck!
