Unfortunately, you may have been caught in the hail storm in Calgary’s south west and south east part of the city.
You may not even notice your damage, especially outside in the sun. It’s worth your time to get a estimate, it’s free.
Estimates are ranging from $1000 to $12,000. SW Calgary being the hardest hit, to Canyon Meadows SE, where you might not notice the dents until you just get that right angle, then you may notice the damage. The biggest factor in clients noticing the damage, colour.
If you want to go somewhere else you can. All insurance companies try to steer you in one direction. 20 years of doing insurance estimates, we get it right the first time, some insurance and private appraisers, look without the right lighting and no trained eye looking for hail dents. Estimating needs to be done by a very experienced PDR technician specially when the damage is large like the storms YYC has had in 2020 and 2021. Hail Specialist that take the extra time needed to save your factory paint job, mainly doing it right. Local YYC techs, that are from Calgary. 
If it’s leased Vehicle you will need fix it, you have two years to make a calm, depending on your Insurance Company. An uncontrollable act of nature won’t raise your premiums.

Most clients don’t notice the Hail Damage until they trade or sell the vehicle, especially on white.
Id you have darker coloured vehicle.
Taking a look in the shade and you see a few dents, I recommend getting a estimate. Most places our free, wait times may vary. Wait time’s at different PDR companies do not reflect their service or quality of hail repair, always comes down to the PDR technician working on your car. 

FYI: Roof of your house, may not show signs of damage. Years down the road, it may start showing, but it may be too late, as you have 2 years to open a claim with your insurance company, from the date of loss (the day you were in the storm, where, when)
As there are potential storms happening throughout the weeks ahead, try to keep vehicles in a covered area.
