Oh Crap... Baseball size hail just hit my car....
Luckily it was the Jag. Anyone have experience with dealing with insurance? What would this go under? I assume it is not "collision" ... Crap, any advice is appreciated!
After brief glance/feel I estimate around 30-40 good size dents. Mainly on the roof/hood/trunk a few on the side of the door as well.
WOW! Glad my family is safe!

It will be fixed under your "comprehensive" insurance less your deductable.
I had a whole car reskinned a few yrs ago after similar hail storm in the northern suburbs of Chicago. It hit some nearby auto dealers that had 100's of cars damaged.
EVERY horizontal panel on our car (very high end import but not Audi) was replaced and repainted to the tune of >$15k of work but, amazingly, you couldn't really tell once the work was done. The hood and roof looked like a golf ball with all of the dimples from the hail. We kept the car long enough where I didn't get the typical resale value hit due to major collision repair which is very common.
Good luck with your claim.
P.S. Did you get hit with the storm that just came through about an hour ago? We hade huge hail up north.

Thanks bud... I believe my deduct is 500 on that car.
Leased vehicle at that, the storm hit really quick... one of the first nights I have kept the Jag outside due to some lawn-mower prep for the summer all evening Lesson learned!
I don't think my insurance agent wants to wake up tomorrow.
