Title: Filing a claim for some minor hail damage on my car... worth the trouble?
Post by: The1BigWillie on April 04, 2011, 12:35:41 PM: Probably 15 or 20 minor dings. $500 deductible. '06 Infiniti G35x w/ 45k miles. Do I really want to eff with this? I'm probably going to drive it until the wheels fall off.

Post by: jtksu on April 04, 2011, 06:29:43 PM: Now I'm not advocating insurance fraud or anything but I've been told that some shops may work with you on that deductable. Definitely worth an estimate.

Post by: SkinnyBenny on April 05, 2011, 08:25:18 AM: I have been told that you can pop out hail damage by putting your car out in the heat/sun on a hot summer day, then putting dry ice on it.

Then, go to Vegas.
