[QUOTE="Zaphod Beeblebrox, post: 2739060, member: 4606"] What they probably [I]should[/I] do is look at the panel, count the dings, and pay you whatever amount per ding it would take to repair. If that amount happily ends up being as much as a new panel, so be it. The hail damage to the rest of the truck is separate. However, there is a chance they will total it. I've seen bad hail damage that could total out relatively expensive cars. It's all about the percentages. If the damage is going to cost ____% relative to the value (cash value, not what people owe or paid for it), they will total it out. I don't know what that percentage is. I [I]think[/I] it used to be around 70% for Geico. [/QUOTE]
