Hail damage repair should put your car back the way it left the factory. That's what we do. We take hail dents out of hoods, roofs, deck lids, pillars, and doors without new paint or new parts. Every repair carries our lifetime warranty, and we're a BBB accredited business. We work with your insurance company directly, and you can pick any shop you want, even if your insurer suggests their own.

Hail Damage Repair Fixes Dents Without New Paint

Our hail damage repair starts and ends with paintless dent repair. Techs reach behind each panel with steel rods and push every dent back out. Where a brace blocks the way, they glue a tab to the outside and pull the dent up instead. They don't sand, fill, or repaint anything.

So your factory paint stays on the car. Your original panels stay too. That's why a good PDR hail repair is so hard to spot later. Read more about the method on our paintless dent repair page.

How to Tell How Bad Your Hail Damage Is

You can't judge hail damage in the sun. Shallow dents disappear in daylight, and the roof is a panel you never look down on. Hail can also hit more than metal:

  • Hood, roof, and deck lid (these take the most hits)
  • Pillars and door tops
  • Moldings and trim
  • Sunroof glass, mirrors, and light lenses

Our free inspection puts every panel under a light board. The board throws lines across the metal, and each dent bends them. We count and size every dent, panel by panel. That count becomes your estimate.

Almost every owner we see thinks their damage is light, right up until the light board shows dozens of dents on the hood alone.

How Hail Damage Repair Works, Step by Step

From the day you drop off, it goes like this:

  1. 1Drop off and get your rentalYou leave in a rental car the same day. If your policy has no rental coverage, we pay for it (first 100 cars per storm).
  2. 2Inspection under lightsWe find and size every dent.
  3. 3Estimate to your insurerWe email it straight to them.
  4. 4Adjuster reviewThe adjuster looks over the estimate at our shop, usually the next day.
  5. 5RepairWe start as soon as it's approved, and we keep you posted along the way.
  6. 6PickupYour car comes back in 7 to 10 days.

To reach roof dents, techs often drop the headliner. For quarter panels, the tail lights and liners come off. When that teardown turns up dents the first look missed, we send them to your insurer as a supplement. That's normal, and it's how every dent gets paid for and fixed.

Our Lifetime Warranty

Our hail repairs come with a lifetime warranty. If a repair we did doesn't hold, bring the car back and we'll make it right.

What Hail Damage Repair Costs and Who Pays for It

Hail damage repair cost comes down to the dents. Your estimate counts them panel by panel and sizes each one. Bigger dents, more dents, and aluminum panels all add to the total. Aluminum moves slower than steel under the rods, so it takes more time.

But on a hail claim, you're not the one paying that total. Hail falls under the comprehensive part of your auto policy, not collision. Insurance pays the repair. We cover your deductible up to $1,000 for the first 100 cars per storm. And one hail claim usually won't raise your rates.

Paintless Dent Repair Beats a Body Shop for Most Hail

A body shop fixes hail by filling or replacing panels and then painting them. That takes longer, and your car ends up with paint that didn't come from the factory.

Your insurer may point you to one of their shops. You don't have to go. You can pick any shop, and insurance still has to pay for the repair.

When Hail Damage Can't Be Fixed Without Paint

Some panels need a body shop, and we'll tell you which ones up front:

  • The paint is cracked or chipped.
  • The metal is stretched on a sharp body line or edge.
  • The panel already has body filler from an old repair.

Big hail can do this, especially on roof edges. Our estimate marks which panels get PDR and which need paint. On most hail cars, only a panel or two falls outside PDR. Everything else keeps its factory finish.

Fixing Hail Damage Protects Your Car's Value

Hail dents drag down what a dealer will give you at trade-in. Cracked paint is worse, because bare metal can start to rust. And if another storm hits before you fix the first round, new dents stack on top of the old ones.

So don't wait on it. Insurers set a deadline for filing a claim, and it varies by policy. Check yours, or call us and we'll help you sort it out.

Where We Repair Hail Damage

We go where the hail hits. Our home base is the Denver metro, and we work with a network of PDR techs and partner shops across the country.

FAQs

Can Hail Dents Be Popped Out?

Hail dents can be popped out with paintless dent repair when the paint isn't cracked. Techs push them out from behind with rods or pull them with glue tabs. Flat panels like the hood and roof usually come out clean.

How Long Does Hail Damage Repair Take?

Hail damage repair takes 7 to 10 days with us. That covers the inspection, insurance approval, the repair, and a final check. You drive a rental the whole time.

How Much Does It Cost to Fix Hail Damage on a Car?

It costs what your estimate says to fix hail damage on a car, and that depends on how many dents you have, how big they are, and which panels they're on. On a hail claim, insurance pays the repair. We cover your deductible up to $1,000 for the first 100 cars per storm.

Is It Worth Going Through Insurance for Hail Damage?

It is worth going through insurance for hail damage for most owners. Hail is a comprehensive claim, not collision, so one claim usually won't raise your rates. And with your deductible covered up to $1,000, there's little reason to pay for the repair yourself.

Can I Fix Hail Damage Myself?

You can't fix hail damage yourself the way a trained tech can. DIY kits often pull the metal too far or crack the paint. Then a panel PDR could have saved needs a body shop.

Will Hail Repair Show Up on My Carfax?

Hail repair with paintless dent repair leaves no replaced parts to report, because your original panels stay. The insurance claim itself may still show on some vehicle history reports. Ask your insurer what they report.

We cover your deductible up to $1,000 for the first 100 cars per storm.
