Dealership Hail Sales Save You Big Money

A car dealer hail sale is a promotional event where we will offer discounts on vehicles that have been damaged by hail. Hail damage can occur when a severe storm passes through an area and produces large hailstones that can dent or scratch the exterior of cars.

During a hail sale, car dealerships may offer discounted prices on hail-damaged vehicles to attract customers who are looking for a bargain. The discounts may be significant, depending on the severity of the damage, and buyers may be able to save thousands of dollars on a new or used car.

How Do Dealerships Prevent the Hail Damage?

As much as we wish we could, dealerships cannot prevent hail damage from occurring, as it is an unpredictable natural occurrence. However, we can try take some steps to minimize the damage. Here are some common steps we take at Pruitt Ford:

  1. Parking cars indoors: If a dealership has an indoor garage or storage facility, they may move their vehicles inside during a hailstorm to protect them from hail damage.
  2. Using hail blankets: Hail blankets are specially designed covers that protect cars from hail damage. Dealerships may use these covers to protect their inventory during a hailstorm.
  3. Moving cars to a covered area: If an indoor garage or hail blankets are not available, dealerships may move their cars to a covered area, such as an overhang or a covered parking lot, to minimize the exposure to hail.
  4. Monitoring weather reports: Dealerships may monitor weather reports and take proactive measures to protect their inventory before a hailstorm hits, such as moving the cars to a safer location.

While these measures can help us minimize the damage to our vehicles during a hailstorm, they won’t completely save us. In the event of a severe hailstorm, even the best preventative measures may not be enough to prevent damage to our inventory.
