Roof damage totals cars fast
Storm season does not wait for body shops
The drivetrain is often untouched
Florida storm season drops trees on cars every year. Summer thunderstorms bring sudden microbursts, and hurricane season adds sustained winds that topple even healthy trees. A direct hit crushes the roof, shatters every window on that side, and bends the A, B, or C pillars that hold the roof up. A glancing blow from a large limb can still cave a hood or trunk and shatter the windshield.
Roof structure is not cosmetic. The pillars and roof rails are part of the car's safety cage, and once bent, they cannot be restored to factory strength. That is why insurers total so many tree-damaged cars: the repair means cutting out and replacing structural sections, and the labor exceeds the car's value. We have bought more than 10,000 cars across Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties, and storm season always brings us tree-damaged vehicles.

The roof takes the direct hit, and everything attached to it suffers. Pillars bend, which misaligns the doors on that side. The windshield and side glass shatter. The headliner tears and the interior fills with glass and debris. If the tree was large enough, the impact can push the roof down far enough to damage the seats and dashboard beneath it.
Water follows quickly. With the glass gone and the roof compromised, every rainstorm soaks the interior, and in South Florida that means mold within days. Electrical components under the dash and seats corrode. The longer a tree-damaged car sits waiting on a repair decision, the more secondary damage accumulates, and the less the car is worth.
Probably not, but get an estimate. If the damage is limited to the hood and the car is otherwise sound, repair may make sense. If the roof or pillars are involved, call us.
A tree falling on your car is a comprehensive insurance claim, and after a named storm, insurers set up dedicated claims processes. Document the damage with photos before anything is moved, including the tree itself and where it came from. Do not let anyone cut the tree off the car until the adjuster has seen it, or take detailed photos first if it must be moved for safety.
If the insurer totals the car, you receive a settlement and the car gets a salvage title. If you keep it, or if you never had comprehensive coverage, you own the damaged car outright. In both cases we can buy it. Bring the title or salvage title, plus any claim paperwork, and our driver handles the transfer at pickup with cash on the spot.
Safety first. Do not sit in a car with a crushed roof, and watch for hanging branches or unstable limbs still above it. Cover broken windows and the crushed roof area with tarps to keep rain out until pickup. Remove your personal belongings, including everything in the glove box, trunk, and under the seats.
If the tree is still on the car, you do not need to remove it before we arrive. Tell us about it when you call so we send the right truck and equipment. Gather your title and photo ID. Our driver verifies the vehicle, completes the paperwork with you, loads it with free towing, and hands you cash, usually within about an hour.
No. Describe the situation when you call and we will come prepared. We deal with storm-damaged cars regularly.
