Rep Power: 0 Advice Needed! Hail Damage
Recently my 2005 Honda Civic LX Sedan got hit by a shower of baseball-sized hail, and now I am left with some dents peppered on my hood, roof, trunk, and some on the side of my Civic. I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on the best approach to fix this? I live in the midwest (just moved here 2 yrs ago, never experienced anything like this before, so I don't have comprehensive insurance ) Also, the driver-side tail light cover got broken/chipped (some pieces fell off), so if anyone could give me some advice that would be great. Like past experience similar to my situation, estimation of cost (out of your own pocket), DYI suggestions, etc. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to call around local body shops to get a reasonable quote. By the way, do you or anyone know a reasonable amount to fix hail dents? I told myself if the cost is greater than 2k, then i'll just live with the dents. Also, I just got my windshield and tail light fixed (have to replace the whole thing...they don't sell covers seperately), as well as this miscellaneous plastic trim part where the windshield whippers are...cost me around $500... Thanks in advance.
