Northland's summer storm season brings periodic hail events that can devastate vehicle bodies. We buy hail-damaged cars at fair prices — body damage doesn't affect our drivetrain assessment.
Hail Damage Doesn't Eliminate Vehicle Value
A heavily hail-damaged car with a peppered roof and bonnet is still worth $2,000–$10,000 depending on its make and model. The drivetrain — engine, gearbox, suspension, differentials — is completely unaffected by hail. We pay accordingly.
Why Insurers vs. Our Assessment Differ
Your insurer assesses repair cost vs vehicle value. If repair exceeds value, they write it off. But the vehicle still has significant parts value — and that's what we pay for. Our assessment is often $1,000–$3,000 higher than an insurer's salvage offer.
