Hail damage repair
A hailstorm dents the whole car.We repair it panel by panel.
We read every panel under a light board, show you what we find and repair the dents by hand when the damage allows. The inspection is free.

What hail does
Every panel can take a hit.Some take more than others.
Hail leaves a dent where it strikes the metal. After a storm, a car can have dents on several panels at once, and some are hard to see without the right light.
Hood
The hood faces the sky, so it often takes the most dents.
The free inspection
The inspection maps the damage.Before any work starts.
We read each affected panel under the light board and note every dent we find. Then we walk you through it, so you know what we see and what we propose.
Nothing starts until you approve the plan.
Which panels are dented
Each affected panel is read under the light board, the roof and the pillars included.
Where each dent is
The bend in the reflected lines shows us the size and shape of every dent.
What can be repaired by hand
We tell you which panels can come back with paintless repair and anything we expect to need paint.
Where the repair can happen
At your home or work when the repair allows, or in a covered workspace. We tell you where and why.
Paintless first
Paintless repair is what we do.Paint only when a panel needs it.
A panel needs paint when its paint is cracked or the metal is stretched too far to bring back by hand. You know at the inspection, not after the work.
Repaired by hand
When the damage allows, we work the metal back from behind the panel or pull it with glue tabs. The original paint stays.
When a panel needs paint
If a panel can't be repaired without paint, we tell you before any work starts, put it on the same estimate and arrange the paint work for you. The paint work may be done by a partner body shop. You keep one point of contact: us.
