So my damage is $5000 some for hail damage. Over 200 dents of different sizes according to the person who did the assessment. Dents are on roof, hood, metal trim along the windows and even quarter panels.

My question is should I take it to the Toyota Collision Center since it is a newer vehicle or to one of my insurance recommended places? The insurance company will warranty the work done by one of their preferred places for life and not sure if a I would get that type of warranty elsewhere. What should I expect the car to look like after-will it look good as new?

Thanks in advance~never had to deal with hail damage😢

My daughter graduates from grad school three hours away and I would be leaving to go 8 days after my right ankle OFIR surgery and I am afraid to go. I know I can ride in the back and keep my foot propped up. I have a knee scooter and crutches that I would take. I’m scared of unknown terrain and obstacles as well as handling public restrooms. I was even looking at incontinence underwear in case I’m somewhere and I can’t get into the restroom. Am I being a wimp if I don’t go? Everything is still exhausting at this point. If it was local, I wouldn’t have a question about going. How would you handle this?
