Hail Damage Blog

This post is an update to the earlier Georgia Hail Damage post.

I have been in contact with a couple of professional that are actually on the scene in the Atlanta area and have actually seen the hail damage with their own eyes. They gave me this update and I wanted to pass it along to you guys so you don't waste any more time than you have to out there chasing the real hail damage down.

The reports I'm getting tell me that the hail that hi the northern parts of the Atlanta metro were very light and there is very little actual damage. What this probably means is that the storms were extremely small and the pictures that came out of that area were probably from a fairly concentrated area. Either way, if you have found something in that part of town, good for you. If you haven't, you probably don't want to waste your time trying.

The other report I'm hearing is that the areas south of the city are hammered with lots of wide-spread and heavy hail damage. This is probably going to be the most productive area to hit if you haven't got anything going yet.

Thanks guys for the "on the ground updates", they are invaluable.

I just want to be clear with you guys though, everybody is saying this stuff is really hard hit. I'm sure there are going to be plenty of moderately hail damaged cars in this storm, it's just too wide-spread not to, but if you just spent the last winter learning paintless dent repair, this probably isn't the storm you want to cut your teeth on. Just be patient, there will be plenty of good hail damage to work on soon enough.

Remember, you only get one chance to make a first impression. If you go to work for some broker and can't fix the hail damage, they will label you a hack and won't ever hire you again. If you do go out and try to work this stuff, at least be up front about your experience. They will probably be a lot more likely to cut you some slack than if you try to pretend to know what you're doing. Believe me, it will show. You will honestly be better off waiting for some good hail damage, I promise.
