My Si is bad luck what should i do

The first time i parked my car outside, i got keyed after that it was garaged and repainted by rip offs. The next incident was last summer where i was driving to Canada and a huge rock fell on my hood and chiped all my paint. Today, June 16,2008 as i was in my orintation at Buffalo University, it hailed. Some of the hail was the size of eggs and others were the sizes of little rocks.
I just examined my whole car right now and there are only dents all over my hood, trunk, spoiler and roof top. I am not worried about the hood and the trunk, i am just worried about the roof top. Can i replace the roof top of at least fix all those dents? I remember my Honda dealership has Dent Removal shop, do they work and do a good job?

PS- The hail did not chip the pain away and there are approximetly 32 dents all around the hood, trunk and rook.

It amazes me on how the body gets all damaged while the widows are in pristine condition...

Hey bro, relax it can all be fixed... Here in Houston there these guys called Dent Wizard and they can pop out all the bumps on your roof...

My advise though, sell the car... LOL

paintless dent repair. they use like 400000000000 lights to spot even the most minuscule dents and pop it out. Call up insurance. If it was considered a catastrophe like it was in LA last year, they will have a shit load of ppl setting up shop at your local car repair place waiting to fix your car.

No, just get it fixed through the paintless dent repair.. I've already been through this situation, insurance will not go up. If you think your car is bad luck, search my threads started in the beg. Read some of the shit I've been through.

I just got a quote to fix my car and they said the following.
My hood has 9 dents/ dings on it and it would cost $675 at $75 per dent.
My trunk and spoiler has 12 dents and it would cost less than $900 because they are not sure about the spoiler.
The roof top has 15 dents and the cost to repair that is $1125.

They said that they will use paint-less dent removal. I have a feeling that this is way to expensive. Cant i get a brand new oem hood for around 500 painted and trunk for 500 painted? I also have a $1000 deductible , what should i do?

Is $2700 a reasonable price. The agent said that they will give me a $1700 check and i pay the other $1000.

Thats about what they did with me, except my damages were for about 4,000. They first tried to cut me a check worth about 2,700 but the place that was doing it said it was not enough at all. So they had the adjuster come out again with like 4 huge ass lights and eventually cut me a check for an extra 800. My deductible is 500.

I have no idea how your route will go seeing as everyone I know went through my route. Let me konw how you decide to do it

A car came into my dealership today after a hailstorm. It was a Corolla, and the body shop guy quoted over 7g's. She was begging her insurance company to total it lol
