In addition to the $1000 deductible, your insurance rates will increase. Many times, hail dents will respond to heat.
You can try pointing a hair dryer at some to see if this helps (if it were summer, a dark car in hot sun would do the same). See what it costs to fix the major dents remaining after heat treatment, this may be around $1000 and not raise your insurance rates.

What is the difference between deductible and premium?
The premium is what you pay for the policy. The deductible is what the insurance company will not pay for what is covered. For example you buy a car policy for collision. You pay the premium of $50. If you crash the car, the company will not pay any thing less than the deductible. If the deductible was $1000 and you sustained $1500 damage, the company would pay you $500. If the damage was less than the deductible, you get nothing.
