Claim My Free Hail Repair Free pickup and drop-off anywhere in Peoria $0 out of pocket on qualifying claims: insurance pays the repair, we cover the first $1,000 of your deductible Photos say no hail? We’ll tell you that, too TL;DR The October 21, 2026 hail storm grazed Peoria rather than crossing it. The only National Weather Service report carrying Peoria’s name is 1.00-inch hail at 3:25 PM, logged as “4 ENE Peoria,” which puts it near Cactus Road and 51st Avenue, where Peoria, Glendale and Phoenix meet. The log shows nothing farther west, so most of Peoria has no logged report. Heavier hail fell a few miles east, up to a 2-inch stone near Peoria Avenue and 35th Avenue, which is in Phoenix despite the street name. Because the storm hit at 3:25 on a Wednesday afternoon, the Peoria cars most likely to be dented are the ones parked east of home that day. DG Collision Center repairs hail damage at its four-bay shop at 11035 N Cave Creek Rd in north Phoenix, picks up and drops off anywhere in Peoria for free, and covers the first $1,000 of the deductible on qualifying claims (above that, case by case, and we do our best).

The NWS names each report by distance and direction from a reference point, so a report carrying Peoria’s name can sit outside the city. We’ve placed each one on the street grid using its coordinates, which are accurate to roughly half a mile. Time & NWS location Size Roughly near 3:25 PM · 4 ENE Peoria 1.00″ Cactus Road around 51st Avenue, east of most of Peoria’s neighborhoods 3:25 PM · 5 NE Glendale 1.00″ Cactus Road around 35th Avenue, about a mile and a half farther east 3:30 PM · 5 SSW Deer Valley 1.25″ Thunderbird Road in the 40s avenues 3:34 PM · 4 NE Glendale 2.00″ Peoria Avenue around 35th Avenue, by Metrocenter (estimated from a public photo) West of 51st Avenue, the log goes quiet. Old Town Peoria, the Loop 101 corridor, Vistancia and the Lake Pleasant area have no logged report from either day. That doesn’t prove no hail fell there. Reports come from spotters and the public, and they’re point samples, not a map of every street. It does mean we won’t tell a Peoria driver their neighborhood was hit when the record doesn’t show it. The full two-day log is on our [October 20–21 Phoenix storm page](https://dgcollision.com/hail-storms/october-20-21-2026-phoenix-hail/), and the reports just east of here are covered street by street on our [Glendale hail repair page](https://dgcollision.com/hail-damage-repair-glendale-az/). ### Not Sure The Storm Reached You?

Peoria Avenue is a Phoenix street that runs east–west for miles, and that stretch of it sits by Metrocenter, well inside Phoenix. So when a neighbor says “there was 2-inch hail on Peoria,” they may mean the street, not the city. The report names add to the confusion. “4 ENE Peoria” means about four miles east-northeast of the NWS reference point for Peoria, and “4 NE Glendale” means four miles northeast of Glendale’s. Neither tells you which city limits the stone landed in. For your claim, none of this changes anything: what matters is where your car was parked when the storm passed, and the date, October 21, 2026. Where Your Car Was At 3:25 ## THE PEORIA CARS MOST LIKELY HIT WEREN’T IN PEORIA The storm reached the 51st Avenue area at 3:25 PM on a Wednesday. At that hour plenty of Peoria cars were somewhere else: an office lot off the I-17, a store lot near Metrocenter, a school pickup line, a job site in north Phoenix. Hail between 1.00 and 2.00 inches fell across that stretch from 3:25 to 3:45 PM. A car that was home in western Peoria all afternoon is less likely to have damage. A car that commuted east that day is the one worth checking first. If you’re not sure where the car was, a phone photo you took that afternoon, a calendar entry or a work schedule usually settles it. Comprehensive coverage generally follows the car, not your home address, so a claim for hail that hit you at work is filed the same way as one at home. Give your insurer the date, October 21, 2026, and the place the car was parked. Before You File ## NEW DENTS OR OLDER ONES? A car that has lived through a few Valley monsoon seasons can carry dents from an earlier storm, and on the edge of a swath it’s easy to mistake old damage for new. An October 21 claim should cover October 21 damage. When we count a car, we mark any dents that look older on the estimate separately, so the adjuster sees an honest picture instead of finding the difference later. Older dents usually can’t ride along on a new claim, and policies commonly hold hail claims to a filing window of about a year from the date of loss, sometimes less. If the older dents bother you, we’ll quote them as a cash paintless dent repair job, priced per dent, so you can decide on your own. Published Pricing ## WHAT PEORIA HAIL REPAIR COSTS | Damage | Published price | When it fits a Peoria car | |---|---|---| | A few dents (cash PDR) | $75–$200 per dent | A handful of dings from the edge of the storm, up to about half-dollar size. Larger dents are priced after inspection; trim removal is quoted first. | | Light hail, 1–2 panels | $750–$1,500 | A hood or roof with scattered quarter-size dents, typical near the 51st Avenue report. | | Deep dents, 1–2 panels | $1,500–$4,000 | A car parked closer to the larger stones east of 43rd Avenue. | | Typical full-vehicle claim | $5,000–$12,000 | A car that sat uncovered near Metrocenter or the Thunderbird corridor through the heavier hail. | | Severe: cracked paint or glass | $7,500–$15,000+ | Rare this far west; possible for cars parked near the 2-inch report. | A few small dents often cost less than your deductible, and when they do, we’ll quote the cash price instead of steering you into a claim. On a claim, your insurer pays the repair; for qualifying claims from this storm we cover the first $1,000 of your deductible (above $1,000, case by case, and we do our best), written on the estimate and taken from our margin. The bill your insurer sees is the true cost. The rest of the offer is on our [Phoenix hail repair page](https://dgcollision.com/hail-damage-repair-phoenix/).

The one National Weather Service report carrying Peoria’s name is 1.00-inch hail at 3:25 PM, logged as 4 ENE Peoria, near Cactus Road and 51st Avenue, east of most of Peoria. The log shows no reports farther west, so most of the city has no logged hail from that storm. **Q: I heard there was 2-inch hail on Peoria. Is that true?** A: On Peoria Avenue, not in Peoria. The 2-inch stone was logged near Peoria Avenue and 35th Avenue by Metrocenter, which is in Phoenix. The NWS listed it as 4 NE Glendale. **Q: My car stayed home in western Peoria. Should I still check it?** A: A quick check is worth it, because reports are point samples and don’t cover every street. Look along the hood and roof from a low angle in morning light, or text us photos. If there are no dents, there’s nothing to file, and we’ll tell you that. **Q: My car was parked at work in Phoenix when it hailed. What do I tell my insurer?** A: The date, October 21, 2026, and where the car was parked. Comprehensive coverage generally follows the car, so hail that hit it at work is filed the same way as hail at home. **Q: Will you pick up my car in Peoria?** A: Yes. Pickup and drop-off are free anywhere in Peoria. Our four-bay shop is at 11035 N Cave Creek Rd in north Phoenix, about seven miles east of the Peoria-named report. **Q: My car has older hail dents too. Can they go on this claim?** A: Usually not. An October 21 claim covers October 21 damage, and policies commonly hold hail claims to a filing window of about a year from the date of loss. We mark older-looking dents separately on the estimate and can quote them as a cash repair. **Q: How much of my deductible do you cover?** A: The first $1,000, on qualifying claims from this storm. Above $1,000 it’s case by case, and we do our best. Whatever we cover is written on your estimate before work starts. **Q: ¿Atienden en español en Peoria?** A: Sí.
