Default Hail Damage

I have a few (4 or 5) barely noticeable dents on my hood and truck from the hail storm a few weeks back. Nothing too serious, but I would like to get it repaired. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a reputable shop in the Saint louis area? Also, does anyone have any idea how much a reapir like this would cost?

Thanks!

if its only a few i would do a paint less dent removal. i used dings n more when i had some ones i wanted out. he works out of columbia il though i think. he was awesome and if you pay him cash he usually cuts you a deal. i dont remember exactly how much he was but i had 4 dents, 3 of them pretty nasty, 1 creased over the wheel well and i'm pretty sure it was only around $100. he was there for a couple hours too. i know of a good body shop on the IL side but thats probably a ways for you. they are kinda pricey but they are worth it. called hoernis auto body.

I went to Dent Devil on Manchester Rd yesterday afternoon to see what they thought of the damage and if it was worth is to make a claim with my insurance company (my deductible is $500). I was told it was at least a $1000+ damage and that they would almost completely cover my deductible (I'd have to pay $50 out-of-pocket). Needless to say I was shocked at the orignal cost to fix it, but excited that it's going to cost almost nothing on my part. I still have to have my insurance company check my car out and give me their own estimate and finally, schedule the repair (Dent Devil is booked up until early August...). Hopefully this all works out.
