A single small door ding costs far less to fix than a hail-damaged roof and hood with dozens of dents. That's why reputable shops estimate per vehicle rather than quoting a number over the phone. ## How the Estimate Process Works Most shops start with a free preliminary walk-around, where an experienced technician gives you a fast, reasonably accurate read on scope. If you want to move forward — especially for an insurance claim — a full official estimate documents every dent individually. Because this takes real time and expertise, some shops charge a fee for the official estimate (Dent, Hail & Detail's is $300), which is applied toward your repair cost if you proceed with the job. ## What Drives the Price Up or Down Several factors affect your final cost: - **Number of dents** — more dents mean more labor time - **Size and depth of each dent** — larger, deeper dents take longer to work - **Dent location** — some panels are harder to access from behind than others - **Proximity to a body line or edge** — dents near sharp creases require more precise technique - **Paint condition** — if paint is cracked or chipped at the dent site, it may need to move to traditional body work instead, which changes the cost structure ## Insurance vs. Out-of-Pocket If your damage is from a hailstorm, it's almost always worth filing an insurance claim rather than paying out of pocket — most comprehensive policies cover hail damage, often with just your deductible due. A shop experienced in hail claims can help make sure your insurance estimate reflects the true scope of the damage. ## Why the Cheapest Quote Isn't Always the Best One PDR quality varies a lot between technicians. A rushed or inexperienced repair can leave subtle imperfections, or worse, cause paint damage that turns a simple dent into a full respray job. It's worth choosing a shop with a track record over the lowest number on paper. Want to know what your specific repair would actually cost?
