5-Step Auto Hail Repair Process

Our process focuses on Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) whenever possible, allowing us to remove hail dents while preserving your vehicle’s original factory paint. From the initial inspection to the final quality check, our team works closely with you and your insurance provider to ensure your vehicle is restored to pre-storm condition.

Below is a detailed look at how our auto hail repair process works.

Step 1: Free Hail Damage Inspection

The first step in the hail repair process is a thorough vehicle inspection. Our technicians carefully examine your vehicle to identify all visible and hidden hail dents.

Using specialized lighting systems designed for paintless dent repair, we can detect even the smallest dents that may not be visible in normal lighting.

During the inspection we:

• Evaluate the size, location, and number of hail dents
• Determine whether paintless dent repair is the best repair method
• Identify panels that may require additional repair or replacement
• Provide a clear repair plan for restoring your vehicle

This inspection ensures your vehicle receives accurate repairs and a proper insurance estimate.

Step 2: Insurance Claim Assistance

Navigating an insurance claim after hail damage can be confusing. Our team helps simplify the process by working directly with your insurance company.

We assist with:

• Filing or managing your hail damage claim
• Coordinating with the insurance adjuster
• Ensuring all hail damage is properly documented
• Confirming the repair estimate reflects the full extent of the damage

Because many insurance companies prefer paintless dent repair for hail damage, this step helps streamline approvals and speeds up the repair timeline.

Step 3: Paintless Dent Repair for Hail Damage

Once the estimate is approved, our technicians begin the hail dent repair process using paintless dent repair (PDR) whenever possible.

During PDR, technicians use specialized tools to gently reshape the metal from behind the panel. This allows the dents to be removed without sanding, fillers, or repainting.

Benefits of using PDR for hail damage include:

• Preserving the vehicle’s factory paint finish
• Faster repair times compared to traditional body work
• Lower overall repair costs
• Maintaining the vehicle’s resale value

Depending on the severity of the hail storm, vehicles may have dozens or even hundreds of dents. Our experienced technicians carefully remove each dent to restore the panel’s original shape.

Step 4: Panel Repair or Replacement (If Needed)

In cases of severe hail damage, certain panels—such as the hood or roof—may be too damaged for paintless dent repair alone.

When this happens, our technicians will recommend panel repair or replacement to ensure the best possible results.

If replacement is necessary, we use manufacturer-approved repair procedures to restore the vehicle’s structural integrity and appearance.

Our goal is always to provide repairs that return your vehicle to pre-storm condition while maintaining the highest standards of quality.

Step 5: Final Quality Inspection and Vehicle Delivery

The final step in our hail repair process is a detailed quality inspection.

Using advanced inspection lighting, technicians carefully review every repaired panel to ensure the dents have been completely removed and the surface is smooth and flawless.

During the final inspection we:

• Verify all hail dents have been repaired
• Confirm paint and finish remain undamaged
• Ensure panels align properly
• Perform a final cleaning of the vehicle

Once the inspection is complete, your vehicle is ready for pickup—fully restored and looking like it did before the storm.
