    Default Cost For Hail Repair

    Anyone has idea on the co$t of PDR for hail damage. Last night hail storm in Arlington put a lot of dents on my son's fairly new Saabaru! It has multiple dents on every panel by baseball size hail. The insurance company telling him to take it to Service King for the estimate/claim. I wonder what is the ball park $$ would be. Since Service King is connected with the insurance company. I afraid they work together to give a him a low ball $ to settle the claim.

    By the way, any one of you has experience with Service King in dent repair?

    Thanks,
    Gab

    Service King blows take it somewhere else IMHO.

    On the Westside we got Steve Baker who can work magic with PDR.

    Take it somewhere else, Service King sucks in general. Some places charge by the dent, some by the panel.

    Glenn Verhoev does good work as well. He's the guy who came to our PDR parties and did his magic.

    Thanks! I have no choice but at least to take it to Service King for the estimate. I will balk at getting it repaired over there. I'll call these guys at least to have some idea of the $$ so that I will not be "taken" by the insurance co. and Service King, since they are basically "sleeping in the same bed" to screw their customers!

    Good news! The caviler is coming to town. Steve is coming back from Indiana this weekend. He knew about our bad storms from last couple of nights. Anyone interested in getting his help should give him a call early next week to get to the front of the line! He sounds a very nice guy on the phone.

    Wonder where Steve will be doing his dent repair? Just saw on the news that Beshear's (the body shop he worked at) blew away last night.

    Glad none of my cars were there!

    I used a guy named James that Glenn recommended since hewas too busy and he did a decent job on the RX-8 and my friend's M3 and was pretty cheap. I'll see if I can find his card somewhere, the guy is a little strange but takes his time.
