A Hail-Battered 2022 Subaru Forester, Restored in Lee's Summit

This Ice Silver Forester got hail-battered during a storm near Douglas Street in Lee's Summit. Its owner, an outdoorsy commuter who keeps the wagon parked outside, came home to a hood and roof full of dents after a fast spring cell. Hail dent repair was the fix, and Lee's Summit keeps us busy — it took two major storm hits in recent years.

On a wagon like this, the hail stays shallow and cosmetic — perfect for paintless dent repair. We reshape each dent from behind the panel so the factory Ice Silver finish never gets touched. The hail damage repair cost is the question we hear most; comprehensive insurance covers it, most customers pay only the deductible, and we handle the repair. Our how much hail repair costs guide breaks it down.

One phone call and we made the 35-minute run. We picked the Forester up from Lee's Summit, ran it under the LED line boards, counted 70 dents, and documented them in CCC ONE format before submitting our repair estimate. No hold music, no missed work. Our how paintless dent repair works guide covers it.

A few days later the Forester was back in Lee's Summit looking new. Factory Ice Silver paint, no repaint, no filler, no CARFAX flag. We handle a lot of hail dent repair in Lee's Summit. For similar jobs, see how we restored a 2017 Honda CR-V in Lenexa or a 2018 Subaru Outback in Tonganoxie.

Lee's Summit has taken two major storm hits in recent years, so this Forester was far from our first in the area. We know the neighborhoods, the routes, and the carriers that dominate out there, which makes the whole process faster. All 70 dents came out, the factory Ice Silver stayed original, and the owner paid only the deductible, and comprehensive covered the rest. We made the 35-minute run, coordinated the repair once the claim was approved, and had the wagon back in a couple of days. For an outdoorsy driver who lives in that Forester, getting it back quickly and looking new was exactly what he needed.
