Can Hail Damage Lower Your Car’s Resale Value?

The short answer? Absolutely. Even if dents look minor, they can shave hundreds—or thousands—off your car’s trade-in or resale value.

At Express Hail Repair, we see this all the time: customers who think their car is “fine” until a dealership offers them less because of hail dents.

Why Dealers Care About Hail Damage

Dealers and buyers have trained eyes—and lights—to spot dents. Even small hail dings mean they’ll have to fix it before reselling, so they deduct the cost from your offer.

The Hidden Cost of Ignoring Hail Damage

• Lower resale or trade-in value

• Insurance claim denial if you wait too long

• Rust and paint damage from untreated dents
