PDR for hail damage?
Hello, my insurance adjustor just gave me a $4500 estimate for hail damage repair. (My 2009 Outback was a mere 3 weeks old when hit on a trip to Colorado.
The PDR shop I took it to estimates they can do the whole job for $4700. There are many, many - mostly shallow - dents. Would it be more cost effective to just get replacement parts from Subaru? If so, could there be an issue with paint matching? Help, please!

I'd talk to your body guy. If one panel has many of the dents, it may be worth replacing that one, rather than the PDR.
Thing is - a hood is easy to access.
Good idea to be patient and wait, you simply do no want a body shop to rush any repair!
