Holy smokes... I don't want to live anywhere it's not warm enough in June to melt hail within a few hours.

This is Hail. . .not snow. . .

Good Lord ! That's to both the damage on your MINI and that ice.

Hard to tell in the pics but some of those dings are deep... seems very likely the paint was damaged, making PDR not an option.

Your insurance company have you set up for an estimate yet ?

There are some very deep dents mixed in there!

I set up two estimates for tomorrow. One shop the insurance recommended (which is a shop that has been around for a long in the area, and has a good rep), and then I called the local dealership to see which shop they recommended.

Ouch! I got caught in Parker and was expecting the glass roof to be shattered and have dimples all over, but I was lucky to escape unharmed. It saw just pea sized hail vs the teacup size some areas got. Let us know how the repairs go!

You were lucky! I was at work right at I-25/Lincoln just a few miles from Parker.

Even in the context of hail having to be plowed... I say again, O. M. G.

I believe that was a "hail drift" but, yes, they did have the plows out on the highways!

That storm was absolutely insane. My whole entire street was covered in a foot of water and looked like a river. Good thing both the MINI and the Audi were in the garage. But there are 5-6 foot high piles of hail in drains all over the neighborhood. But I'm in caste rock and we supposedly got the worst of the storm and the pinery. But my son was out in it and the car does not a dent on it (aside from the ones already there).

Good luck with the fix!
Alex
