PDR is a thing, and aluminum repair techniques in general have gotten much more mainstream in the last 15 years. I avoid body shops that pull the ‘oh no aluminum, we can’t fix that’ narrative. I had a body shop repair the AL fender on my SAAB in 2015, same repair cost as it would have been out of steel. Roofs are tricky to remove but like I said for hail damage PDR would be your best bet anyway. Either way steel isn’t impervious to hail either, especially with cars using thinner sheet metal on the skin panels than ever.
