Last night we had a nice dinner at our friend's house before a severe thunderstorm unleashed rain and hail. DH's new car was parked outside. There was no place to move it before the storm broke. It was damaged by the hail. The estimate to fix it is $2500.
Guess we. Should have stayed home!!

We had that happen once. My Dh had taken apart a go cart and it was all over the garage floor, so all three of our cars were outside. My car cost $9,000 to fix. One car wasn't worth the cost to fix it and the other we used the cash the insurance offered us to cover the $3,000 copay for the new roof we had to get.
It was July 4th. I so wasn't expecting that hail storm.

I'm so sorry! That really stinks.
I had a new Maxima once that was totaled in a flash flood. I hadn't even made my first payment on it.

That's terrible! Won't your insurance pay for that?

Are you in Michigan? My SIL was at his parent's house in Highland Mi and now his new truck resembles swiss cheese. So sorry to hear about the damage to your DH's new car.

So sorry. Hail can really do considerable damage to vehicles. Happened to a friend of mine last year and what a mess his car was!

We just paid off our Honda Odyssey and last night my DH was in a hit and run accident at the gas station. Luckily a witness saw the whole thing and the good Samaritan, by happenstance, saw the truck involved parked at his apartment complex! The cops towed the truck, a landscaping company truck. Bet that guy will be in big trouble.

I worry about that every time the possibility of hail is in the forecast and I'm at work and no way to get my car under cover. Hail was a possibility here last night and several of my neighbors left their cars out instead of putting them in their garage (and yes, there was room because I see when their garage doors are open). Made me  . |

Oh no, that is a bummer! And a new car too!
We had a massive hailstorm here a couple of years ago, at the end of summer. There were so many cars written off because they were so badly damaged. My friend lost her car. We were out at a park at the time but got a phone call from a friend warning us that the storm was on the way. We drove home and parked in the garage so we escaped any damage.
Car yards also had to sell off their cars for huge discounts because they got damaged.

Sorry that happened to you. Insurance should pay to fix it, but the inconvenience of having it done is aggravating.

Wow I can't imagine what hail looks like to cause that sort of damage. I do hope the insurance will cover the costs for you.

Ouch. That happened to me once at my in-laws. I had to stand and watch my new car get pummeled. Well, I didn't have to, but I couldn't look away.

I appreciate the responses. DH got a quote from the dealer today--$3200. And since we'll be filing a claim on our insurance and the car is under warranty, we'll go with the dealer. But this is our 2nd hail damage claim in 4 years. We had to have our roof replaced in 2010. I'm afraid our policy will see a rate increase next payment.

Big bummer! We, along with several of our neighbors, are currently getting our roof re-done due to hail damage.
