What is hail damage and how to spot it on your car
Living in Northeast Ohio means that during the Spring months of March through June and even into July, our capricious weather can change drastically! This often includes hailstorms as the warm and cool weather fronts collide with each other. If your car unfortunately gets caught in a hailstorm the damage may be obvious depending on the size of the hail, but oftentimes if the hail is smaller you may not immediately notice the hail damage.
When the severe weather clears, take a closer look at your car for these common signs of hail damage:
- Small dents or dings in the hood, doors, side panels or trunk. These dents or dings may not have damaged the paint but will have made a small indentation
- Inspect your windshield, windows, and mirrors for chips and cracks
- Look for water damage inside your vehicle
- Inspect your mirrors, doors, and windows to evaluate if they are stuck or jammed
If you suspect you have hail damage to your car, you may be tempted to contact your insurance company first and file a claim. Keep in mind that if you have hail damage, there are probably hundreds or thousands of other vehicle owners who also may have hail damage and will be contacting your insurance company. You may be in for a long wait before an adjustor inspects your vehicle, and then offers their own estimate to repair the damage.
