    I just noticed damage from a storm a few days ago.
    We've had lots of rain after the hailstorm, truck was wet and I thought I escaped damage.
    Today after truck dried and sun came out I noticed dents.
    How successful is paintless dent removal?
    I really don't want to have truck painted.
    I'll try to get some pictures posted
    Thanks

    PDR works, depends on the locations of the damage and how good your pdr guy is.

    I had a GMC Yukon smashed, it was a big job, but I waited for the right guy to come in town.
    I’d seek a couple estimates and figure out if insurance needs to come next.

    And your insurance agent should be advised sooner than later. 'Cause you're going to want to make a claim.

    I had hail and acorn combo on my old car with a big storm a few years back, sucks when it happens. I at least taught the oak tree a lesson afterwards, instead of fixing the car called a tree guy.

    PDR in my area works great had over $12,000 in hail damage and they fixed it all. Had damage on all areas of my truck they did just replace the whole skin of the roof and gave me a new hood since it was cheaper then trying to pull all the dents out. After repair you could not tell there was any damage at all my truck pretty much looked new after repair I was impressed. Also I’m over a year after repair and everything still looks good.

    Sounds like the dents are minimal, so PDR is a great choice. My wife's vehicle was totaled this year due to deep dents that cracked the paint. A roof and all panels needed replaced or lots of work.

    Most charge per dent,if you have a hundred dents on the roof,well you get the picture.

    My brother had hail damage on the cars, roof and siding. His house is looking brand new along with his cars. Get insurance involved now.

    My dad got hail damage all over his 3rd gen a few years ago. He called a place that does PDR and you can't even tell. Golf ball sized hail for reference. Cost about $2k to get all the dents out though.
