Signs Your Car Took Hail Damage

Hail dents are often hard to see at first. They are usually small, round and shallow, and they tend to cover the top of the vehicle rather than one side. Many owners only notice them when the light hits the car at a low angle.

  • Rows of small, round dents across the hood, roof or trunk
  • Dimples along the top edges of doors and fenders
  • Dents on roof rails and around the windshield frame
  • A wavy look on panels when you view them from an angle
  • Damage spread across the whole top of the car, not one spot

If you were parked outside during a strong storm, walk around the car in the early morning or late afternoon, when shadows make hail dents easier to spot. Photos taken then are also the most useful for an estimate.

Start to Finish

Our Paintless Hail Repair Process

Paintless hail repair follows the same idea as any dent repair, repeated across many dents and many panels. Here is how the work moves from the first photo to the final check.

  1. Mapping Every Dent

    The technician goes over each panel under a light or reflection board and marks the damage. A clear count of dents per panel is the base of the estimate.

  2. Working With Your Insurer

    When you are filing a claim, we work with your insurance company and the claims process, sharing what the damage looks like and what the repair involves.

  3. Repairing Panel by Panel

    Rods reach under the roof, hood and trunk lid to push each dent up. Where braces block the way, glue tabs pull the dent from the outside.

  4. A Final Look in Good Light

    Each panel is checked from several angles before the job is called done. The aim is clean, straight reflections across the whole car.

How a Hail Damage Insurance Claim Usually Goes

Hail is typically covered under the comprehensive part of an auto policy, not collision, but every policy is different. Your insurance company decides what is covered and what your deductible is, so the first call after a storm is usually to your insurer or agent to ask how your policy handles a hail damage insurance claim.

From there, the insurer will normally want to see the damage, either through an adjuster or through photos. DentPro Solutions works with the insurance company and the claims process when needed. We can describe the damage panel by panel and explain how paintless repair handles it, which helps everyone agree on the scope of the work.

We cannot promise what your policy will pay, and we will never tell you a claim is approved when only your insurer can decide that. Because paintless repair keeps the original paint, there is no repainting step to schedule, and the car keeps its factory finish after the claim is settled. Whether or not you file, we are glad to give you an estimate, so you can compare the cost of the repair with your deductible before you decide.

Storm Season and Hail Damage Car Repair in Northeast Florida

Strong thunderstorms are part of life on the First Coast. The National Weather Service office in Jacksonville issues severe thunderstorm warnings for northeast Florida and southeast Georgia, and the heaviest rain along the coast falls from June through September. Hail can fall from the strongest of those storms, even if most summer storms bring only wind and heavy rain.

When hail does hit, it rarely damages just one car. A single storm can leave dents on every vehicle in a neighborhood or a parking lot, which is why hail damage car repair tends to come in waves after a storm passes.

The best time to act is soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh and easy to document. Take photos, call your insurer if you plan to file, and send us the pictures. We can then talk you through what the repair involves and arrange a time to come to you.

What Shapes the Cost of Auto Hail Repair

Auto hail repair is estimated from the damage itself, panel by panel. These are the things that change the total:

  • How many dents are on each panel
  • The size and depth of the largest dents
  • Which panels are hit, since roofs and rails take more time
  • Whether panels are steel or aluminum
  • Whether braces block access from behind

The estimate is shared with you, and with your insurer when you are filing a claim, before any repair begins. That way hail damage repair in Jacksonville, FL starts with everyone on the same page.
