Wondering how much it’ll cost to fix hail damage on your car?
Use the calculator below to get an instant, no-strings-attached estimate based on your vehicle, damage severity, and insurance status.
Hail Damage Repair Cost Calculator
How This Calculator Works (and Why It’s a Ballpark)
This calculator gives you a realistic cost range based on your vehicle, the severity of the hail damage, and which panels were hit.
Here’s how it works:
1) It starts with an average estimate based on your vehicle type and damage severity;
2) Then it adjusts the range depending on which areas were affected, like the hood, roof, or doors
3) Finally, if you have a vehicle with aluminum body panels, the cost is adjusted to reflect aluminum’s higher repair costs
Keep in mind this is still just a ballpark. The calculator doesn’t include:
- Cracked glass, chipped paint, or deep crease;
- Water leaks or seal damage;
- Labor costs for hard-to-reach damage (like beneath a roof rail); or
- Frame damage, which is rare but possible
This isn’t a quote: it’s a planning tool to help you understand what to expect. For an exact number, a quick in-person inspection is still the best option.
Hail Repair Damage Cost Breakdowns for Common Scenarios
Wondering how your situation stacks up? Here are four common hail damage scenarios, based on the kinds of vehicles and repairs we see every season in Colorado:

Example 2: Ford F-150 With Aluminum Panels and Severe Damage
| Vehicle | 2021 Ford F-150 (aluminum body) |
| Damage | Severe (60+ dents) |
| Estimated Range | $3,500 – $5,500 |

| Estimated Range | $2,400 – $4,200 |

Why a Real Estimate Still Matters
Online calculators are great for planning, but the truth is, no tool can replace a trained eye. A physical inspection is still the best way to understand the full extent of hail damage and what it’ll actually take to repair it.
Some repairs that look minor in photos turn out to need panel replacement or paint blending. Others might be quicker than expected. The only way to know for sure is to see the vehicle in person.
An in-shop estimate also lets you confirm how much your insurance will cover, and whether your deductible might be reduced or waived.
If you want answers, not assumptions, we recommend a free inspection from a trusted auto body shop with hail damage repair experience. There’s no commitment, and for many drivers, that one visit makes the difference between a frustrating process and a fully covered repair.
