Hail damage Claim Process

After the damage has occurred to your vehicle, you will need to contact your insurance company in a timely manner.

After you have filed your claim, the insurance company will arrange to look at your car. It is important to have your vehicle looked at inside, or in a shaded area, if possible. Estimating a vehicle outside is a very inaccurate way to assess hail damage, as many of the dents will not be seen due to the glare of the sun.

When your adjustor looks at the severity of your hail damage, they will write the estimate to be repaired one of two ways, or a combination on the two. The Paintless Dent Removal method [PDR] involves a skilled technician gently massaging your dents out from the underside of the body panel. The traditional body shop method requires that the dents are straightened, filled, and the body panels repainted. Sometimes the damage is so severe that the panels will need to be replaced.
