The customer problem
When keeping the vehicle stops making sense
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.
Broken glass and water intrusion can create additional interior and electrical damage. Insurance and lien questions should be clarified before transferring the vehicle.

Hail- and Storm-Damaged Cars: frequently asked questions
Do you buy cars with hail damage?
Yes, hail-damaged vehicles can be evaluated based on the full vehicle, documents, location and current condition.
Can I sell after receiving an insurance payment?
Possibly, but confirm the insurer’s ownership, title-brand and lien requirements first.
Does the car have to be totaled?
No. Both repairable and heavily damaged vehicles may be considered.
What if a tree or branch hit the vehicle?
Send photos of impact, glass, roof and suspension damage and explain whether it still runs and rolls.
Should I cover broken windows?
Protecting the interior from additional weather can be sensible if it is safe to do so. Do not conceal damage in the photos.
Can several storm-damaged vehicles be evaluated?
Yes, provide a separate VIN, condition description, ownership status and location for each vehicle.
