Why You Shouldn’t Wait Until Storm Season Ends to Repair Hail Damage

After a big hailstorm, many car owners make the mistake of waiting until storm season is over before repairing their vehicles. It seems logical—you don’t want to fix your car only to have it damaged again. But delaying repairs can actually cost you more in the long run.

Insurance Complications

Insurance companies expect you to file claims promptly. If you delay, they might:

• Question whether the damage is from the reported storm.

• Deny coverage if another storm hits before repairs are completed.

• Reduce payouts if new damage is combined with old.

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners stresses the importance of filing hail claims as quickly as possible.

Vehicle Damage Worsens Over Time

Hail dents often cause micro-fractures in your paint. Left unrepaired, these cracks let in moisture, which leads to rust and corrosion. Once rust starts, repairs are far more expensive—and sometimes impossible with paintless dent repair (PDR).

The Resale Value Factor

Dealerships and private buyers are quick to slash prices on cars with hail damage. Even if you’re not planning to sell right now, preserving your car’s factory finish maintains its value for the future.
