How To Erase The Signs Of Hail Damage

Is hail damage bringing down the value of your vehicle? Millions of cars each year are hit with hail damage. Of these millions, thousands will receive a ‘total loss’ and become a salvage vehicle. For those that want to resell their vehicle, a salvage titled vehicle is worth less than half of a clean titled car, in many cases.

To maintain or slow the loss of value, you’ll want to fix these imperfections of your vehicle’s exterior. A perfect paint job can get you more money when it comes time to sell and obtain a faster sale too. When considering hail repair companies, you should always go with one that has the experience, tools, and a body of work that demonstrates they are able to fix any dent regardless of size and location. 

A dent in a bumper and a dent in the hood are two different locations and materials. The bumper might be made of plastic, and the hood could be steel. It’s essential that whoever handles your vehicle understands these differences and chooses the appropriate option for repair.

What is Paintless Dent Repair? 

Would you like to get the dents out of your car in just an hour or two? What makes most vehicle owners delay getting work done to their vehicles is the wait time and hassle of being without their car. Not only is this a huge inconvenience, but it can also become costly if you have to rent a vehicle, and it isn’t covered under your insurance plan. 

Paintless dent repair can be done anywhere; it isn’t exclusive to the shop services. Because there is no paint, the temperature and other controlled factors aren’t an issue. A technician will use special tools to get behind body panels and massage the dent out. This method works on dents of all sizes but is limited. You won’t get great results if the paint is damaged. The only thing paintless dent repair can do is pop dents out. It won’t fix a paint fade, chipping, or cracking.

Does Insurance cover mobile PDR?

The good news for car owners is that if you carry comprehensive coverage, which includes hail, your PDR service may be covered. The first step is contacting your insurance or having the hail repair company you choose coordinate benefits. The cost will likely be just the deductible. You won’t need to rent a car or deal with the hassles of finding rides while your vehicle is in the shop. Mobile PDR services come to wherever you are.
