So yesterday here in Chicago we had a good 90 degrees sunny weather and I went off with my day and took time to wash my car.Once I got home I decided since the day was so beautiful that I had no need to put my car in the garage and decided to get park in the street.At 4:30pm I got inside my daily and drove off to work only to confronted with rain and HAIL lots of HAIL about the size of dimes falling at 60mph.The good thing is that it only lasted about 5 mins but I still I felt like crap knowing my G was out getting hit like gunshots while I was on my way to work but I couldn’t do nothing about it.Once I got home from work i decided to take a look at the damaged and saw about two small hail dents on my roof about the size of a dime and a huge dent about the size of a small golf ball.I also noticed about 5 small penny size dent around my hood (but that doesn’t bother me as I will most likely add a carbon fiber hood) and another small golf ball size dent on my passenger side QP near the gas door.Anyways I just wanted to ask about how much would it be to repair the 3 dents on the my roof and the QP dent? Should I even bother fixing it if I know I’m going to get hit with random hail storms in the future? Haha Chicago weather is a mystery

edit:My car was bought from a private sale and I have liability so I don’t think insurance would do anything about it so it’s out of my pocket.

 

Get paintless dent removal done. Should pop right out.

 

Is this something I should take to a reputable shop/person or can any shop can do it with destroying my car?

 

Reason I’m asking is because there’s a body shop around my house literally around the corner but I see that they don’t have no reviews and they have been in business for about 4 years and I find that pretty fishy.They told me they could fix it at. A reasonable price and the owner was super nice.

 

As long as it's PDF, yes.

 

Call your local new car dealerships. They will typically only deal with one shop in town for paintless dent removal and I suspect you'll get them all recommending the same shop.

 

I called multiple Nissan and Infiniti dealerships and they all recommended different ones but one of the Nissan dealerships recommended a shop nearby so I will stop Monday morning to get a quote I’m hoping no more than $300 for a couple of hail spots removed fingers crossed

 

Update:The hail damage was actually worst than I thought.There was about 8 penny sized around my hood and 2 penny sized and 1 dine size on my sunroof and a big quarter sized on my QP.The shop recommended me to repaint and resurface the affected areas because of all the scratches and blemishes on my car.The hood actually had a key type etch running from the middle of the hood all the way to my grill and was pretty deep.Anyways they quoted me $800 to restore the hood and the sunroof along with the QP along with paint work.Its this a decent price for this type of work?

 

I’m starting to think the hail damage was done by the previous owner.The reason I’m thinking of it like that is because my car was garage kept when I bought it and come to think of it we haven’t gotten hit with a massive hail storm here in Chicago.When I bought the car I didn’t care much about the exterior besides rust I cared more about it mechanically.Now that I baby the car and inspect every little thing I now see the hail marks that came to my surprise.The car is an 04 and I when I bought the car I had the noticed that the owner didn’t have a garage so I’m guessing it’s been through tough weather.Im hoping the body shop can bring it back to life and I will post the results when I get my baby back

 

Yeah $800 is probably a fair price.
