How is hail damage on a car repaired?

Well, didn't notice it right away, but my wife noticed tonight that her Grand Cherokee has one dent on the hood and 4-5 on the roof. Nothing major, but I'd like to get it repaired. Are they able to pull dents out without repainting? How is it done? How pricey is it? I'm guessing 5-6 dents is not going to meet my deductible on insurance. Thanks.

they have these super strong electro magnets that they place right above the dent and it sucks it out

I heard they use black magic...

what chu talkin about willis??

Ok well its called "paintless dent repair". There are several places/people going to be offering it now and he near future.

They use long pic tooks, kinda like a log thin round pry bar. That cost depends on access. I think it like 300 a panal for hail damage. It does very from paople to people and size of dent and how the dent it self is. If you can see a crease in the metal its not going to get fixed with paintless dent repair.

Just a heads up. thought I would offer my two cents.

Not sure if it's the professional method but apparently sudden extremes of hot and cold "pop" them out...?
