5 Signs Your Vehicle Has Hidden Hail Damage

After a hailstorm, it’s easy to assume your car is “fine” if you don’t see major dents. But the reality is, hail damage often hides in plain sight. Even minor dents can reduce your vehicle’s resale value or cause your insurance to deny future claims.

The best part? At Express Hail Repair, you don’t need to figure it out yourself. Simply bring your vehicle in, and we’ll do a full inspection for free.

Here are five signs there’s hidden hail damage you may not notice on your own.

1. Subtle Dimples on Flat Surfaces

The roof, hood, and trunk usually take the hardest hits. Small, shallow dents may blend in, especially on light-colored vehicles.

2. Dings on Doors and Side Panels

These can be nearly invisible unless viewed under direct light. Our inspection process uses special lighting to spot them instantly.

3. Tiny Paint Chips Near Trim

Hail sometimes chips paint around edges. Left untreated, this can lead to rust.

4. Distorted Reflections

Step back and look at reflections in the sunlight. Wavy or uneven reflections often mean hail dents are present.

5. Loss of Trade-In Value

Even if you don’t see the damage, dealerships will. They use professional lights to detect dents—and reduce your offer accordingly.
