The customer problem

Separate hail dents from glass, water and impact damage

Kansas City storms can damage roofs, hoods, trunks, glass and body panels across an entire vehicle. Owners may be weighing repair, an insurance settlement, continued use or an as-is sale.

This page focuses on hail, wind, glass, water and falling-object damage. Use the totaled page when an insurer's total-loss decision is the main issue, or the wrecked page for collision damage.
