Can Merriam Body Shop Fix Hail Damage?

Yes!  Merriam Body Shop is the insurance preferred method of removing dents from a car which has received hail damage.

How Can I Have My Hail Damaged Car Fixed?

Step 1, Contact your insurance company. There is no one to blame for hail damage, so you can use your automobile insurance to cover the repairs without penalty. Your insurance company may send an adjuster out to access the damage and advise you on hail damage removal services.

Step 2, Call Merriam Body Shop for a cost estimate. The estimate provided by your insurance adjuster may not be accurate. Adjusters have been known write low estimates because many people abuse this type of claim by pocketing the money and not repairing their vehicles.

Sometimes insurance companies will recommend that you have your vehicle repaired by a preferred vendor. Be wary of these recommendations, as they could be agreements to perform the lowest cost jobs in exchange for all the insurance company’s referral business. Your insurance company cannot force you to have your vehicle repaired by a company of their choice. If you do decide to go with a vendor recommended by your insurance provider make sure they are not going to cause further damage to the value of your car; drilling holes, unnecessary repainting and body work, etc.
