Calgary, Alberta — When a massive hail storm hit Calgary many vehicles fell victim to the ping-pong-sized pellets–but some dealerships were thinking ahead. To protect vehicles from the hail, several businesses in the area invested millions of dollars in protective tents and nets.
One particular Toyota dealership had placed roughly 300 cars under its tents when the storm hit, which successfully saved the vehicles from any damage.
A local Hyundai dealership went into the storm without any protection in place, and owners say the storm caused “significant damage” to the vehicles in the lot.
Other ill-fated dealerships suffered millions of dollars worth of damage from the hail storm—as some vehicles required between $8,000 and $10,000 in repairs.
