A Hail-Battered 2018 Subaru Outback, Restored in Tonganoxie, Kansas
By Bryan Wilson, Owner & Lead Technician
This Tungsten Outback got hail-battered at a home in Tonganoxie, northwest of the metro. Its owner, in this small Leavenworth County town, parks outside with no cover and found the long roofline and hood covered after a spring storm. Hail dent repair was the fix for a wagon that handles the rural commute every day.
On a wagon like this, the hail stayed shallow and cosmetic — ideal for paintless dent repair. We reshape each dent from behind the panel so the factory Tungsten Metallic finish never gets touched. The hail damage repair cost is the first thing most owners ask about; comprehensive insurance covers it, most customers pay nothing out of pocket, and we handle deductible assistance. Our how much hail repair costs guide breaks it down.
One phone call from Tonganoxie and we ran the northwest route. We picked the Outback up, ran it under the LED line boards, counted 76 dents, and documented them in CCC ONE format before coordinating the claim. The distance never touched the owner's schedule. Our how paintless dent repair works guide covers it.
A few days later the Outback was back in Tonganoxie looking new. Factory Tungsten paint, no repaint, no filler, no CARFAX flag. We make the drive for hail dent repair in Tonganoxie on a storm-season route. For similar jobs, see how we restored a 2020 Subaru Outback in Lawrence or a 2022 Subaru Forester in Lee's Summit.
Tonganoxie is well northwest of the metro, and the distance never touched the owner's schedule. He assumed a hail repair meant a long round trip or settling for whoever was nearest in Leavenworth County. Instead we added the Outback to our storm-season route, picked it up, and brought it back with all 76 dents gone and the factory Tungsten Metallic untouched — at no out-of-pocket cost. A comprehensive hail claim rarely moves rates, which eased his mind about filing. For rural drivers who think we're too far out to help, the reminder is simple: we make the drive whenever the storms roll through.
