To prevent damage to their vehicles When a hailstorm is headed their way? Random thought I had

Insurance, or have a "hail damage discount" on the vehicle.

Other than investing in a shit-ton of bubble wrap, or a huge canopy over the lot, there isn't much to do.

A lot of dealerships are self insured. Take the loss and roll on. I fucking hate hail, ruins a few months for me very year here lately.

Most will do what they can to get their "expensive" inventory into the shop area if they have one, or put into the showroom. My dad works for Land Rover of Dallas, with this last hail storm they had 30-40 cars hit, they have a parking garage with 2 covered levels and a good deal of shop space, along with 2 covered service drives, they just couldn't get them all under cover fast enough.

When I was working for Fourwheels Autogroup, at Bonham Chrysler, The owner had all kinds of collectors cars or big money exotics that we had to shuffle into covered areas when storms would blow in.

I worked in dealerships for 15 years, they never did anything to avoid hail damage. It's not like they really could,

[yellowstang]

All salesmen are required to drive a car to the nearest coin operated carwash and park in a stall until the storm passes.

[johnny--2k]

we would pull in the high dollar and more rare cars then if room, start working down the list according to price...

They have insurance.

You would be surprised at the amount that don't against hail.

Many dealers profit from hail when its all said and done.

Sewell Lexus is still trying to close out hail damage on a storm from year ago. They may make money on the repairs but it is taking a long time get paid.
