Hail Damage Repair for a 2015 Ram 1500 in Smithville, Missouri

This Brilliant Black Ram caught a heavy storm in Smithville, north of the lake. The owner uses the truck for work and keeps it parked outside, so when a spring cell rolled through there was no cover. Black paint shows everything, and hail damage repair on a full-size truck this exposed came in heavy.

The dent count pushed this toward severe hail damage repair. Our LED inspection found 147 dents across the hood, cab roof, and bed, several deep enough for careful glue-pull work alongside standard rods. The Brilliant Black paint never cracked, keeping it a clean paintless dent repair job. Our severe hail damage repair page shows what we bring back on trucks like this.

One phone call from Smithville and we ran the northern route. We picked the Ram up, documented all 147 dents in CCC ONE format, and submitted a supplement when the first estimate came in light. Comprehensive insurance covered the repair, most customers pay nothing out of pocket, and Missouri's 80% total-loss threshold was never close. Our hail damage insurance claim hub walks through the process.

The Ram went back to Smithville ready to work. Factory Brilliant Black paint intact, no repaint, no CARFAX flag, back on the road in four days.

North of the lake, hail is just part of owning a work truck — but it doesn't have to cost anything. A comprehensive claim for hail almost never raises rates the way an at-fault collision would, which is the part the owner hadn't realized. All 147 dents came out of the Ram, the factory Brilliant Black stayed original, and he paid nothing out of pocket between coverage and deductible assistance. We ran the northern route, built the supplement so every panel was covered, and had the truck back in four days with the lifetime warranty. He drove off knowing the next storm is a phone call, not an expense.
