Hail Damage Estimate

Below are some pics on the damage my truck received last night. Just wondering if anyone has experience with estimates. USAA is sending out an adjuster as the area got hit hard last night.

 

There is damage to every panel except the rear passenger door and right side truck bed.

 

Dang, that sucks. Hope USAA takes care of you and thanks for serving!

 

Damn! Hope USAA will take care of you. I have them as well.

i had a problem with USAA on a hail damage. They hate hail damage claims I was told. Make sure you make the adjuster checks your mileage and condition correctly for for diminished value claim at the end too.

The "independent contractor adjuster" that USAA hired added over 20,000 miles to the mileage on my truck and this lowered the value for the diminished value claim until I caught them.


Good luck and keep their feet to the fire and DOCUMENT EVERYTHING and phone video the adjuster doing his inspection of your vehicle.

 

Thanks for the advice. My truck is an 07 and I only have about 83k miles.

 

Holy Hail

 

All of your glass survived that?

 

AK still??

 

Have you tried buffing it out?

 

I said I am sure that will buff right out.

 

PS ... That's a easy $15,000.00 claim or a "Totaled Truck" ... IF they fixed it correctly with new panels.

My damage was much less and was $6,000.00.

If you do a PDR on it, the paint will chip off later with hot & cold seasons.

IMO, I would leave it alone, take take the $15K and keep the truck, because mechanically its the same.

You should have many choices and good luck with whatever you do ...

Agreed. Take the money and run.

 

yep was gonna say 11,000 easy and likely 16,000. you need doors and a roof welded on
