this sucks. pdr or pop and respray? im thinkin pdr... the only benefit from the non pdr guy was that hed give me 150 back from my deductible
what do you think i should do?
edit: damage on no major body lines btw
and my previous estimates were wrong, all clean theres 30-40 roof dents, 20-30 trunk, and 7-8 hood, 1 -5 quarter panel

Sounds like a perfect job for PDR, but make sure you don't have any creaks in your headliner afterwards. Another thing to note... I took mine to a "well respected shop" too, but you're going to probably be in the same boat as I was... When there is a ton of hail damage in an area the shops will subcontract the work out to these migrating workers that just follow hail storms around the country. The guys that did my car were all from Oklahoma, even though I took it to the most reputable shop in town. They did a nice job though. But either way, know who is going to do the work ahead of time.
