Does Los Angeles Get Hail Damage? More Than You Think.

Most drivers assume hail damage is a Midwest problem. But Los Angeles County experiences hailstorms more regularly than many residents realize — particularly between November and March when Pacific weather systems push cold air across Southern California. Neighborhoods including Pasadena, Burbank, Glendale, the San Gabriel Valley, North Hollywood, Van Nuys, and the foothill communities near the Angeles National Forest are particularly susceptible to damaging hail events.

When hail strikes, it can leave dozens to hundreds of individual dents across your hood, roof, trunk, and side panels — along with cracked windshields, damaged mirrors, and chipped paint that exposes bare metal to rust. Hail damage is fully covered under comprehensive auto insurance, and California law gives you the right to choose your own certified repair shop. Insurance companies cannot require you to use their preferred vendor.
