Auto body repair & detailing: long term results from hail damage repair, hail damage repair, lifetime warranty


Question
I have a leased 2007 Santa FE, which I love and would like to buy rather than return.  I had it hail damage and so I had it repaired at a reputable body shop.  Is it wise to purchase this vehicle or can I expect further problems with rusting, etc.

Answer
Cathy......I see that the repairs were made in a reputable shop...good thing.
I would ask the shop i fthey have a lifetime warranty on the repairs. They should. If not ask them
to give you one for as long as you own the vehicle and that this warranty would cover only defective repairs and not normal wear and tear or collision damage.

You should not have any problems with the repairs down the road.

Good luck............ mike
