Default Insurance question

Kellys car got jacked up in Santa fe by hail yesterday. The roof is the worst. Are they able to fix something like that, or do they total the car out. Cause it can't be good for resale. Any input?

take it to a good body shop like Southwest? (its located behind the walmart on carlise, owner is manny) pm me i can get you an address

usually if the damage is limited to a roof its no biggie, but if it has gotten a good amount of the car (i.e. body panels) depending on how the insurance wants to tackle the issue they total the car out?

any pics of the carnage?

Damned - that sucks Ronnie, however if it did not crack the paint, PDR may be an option. I have used Quantz before, who sub'd out the work to someone else. I was very satisfied with the outcome. Good Luck.

Alright, thanks guys. I'm waiting for the insurance people to see it. It is the hood, roof, A-pillars, trunk, top of the doors, fenders, top of the quarter panels, and the windshield.

Insurance will cover. When I first bought this car in 04 I got caught in a severe hail storm in D.C. A paint less dent repair guy got out everything, including the good hat is aluminum.

Never knew it happened. I just paid my deductible.
