Hail Damage on Your Car? Here's What to Do Next
A hailstorm can leave dozens of dents across your hood, roof, and trunk. Here is a step-by-step guide on what to do after your vehicle is hit by hail in the Chicago area.
After a hailstorm, the first thing to do is document the damage. Take clear photos of every panel — hood, roof, trunk lid, and doors — in good lighting. This documentation is important for your insurance claim.
Next, contact your insurance company to file a claim. Most comprehensive auto insurance policies cover hail damage. An adjuster will assess the damage and provide an estimate. We work directly with all major insurance companies and can help guide you through the process.
Once your claim is approved, bring your vehicle to us or schedule a mobile appointment. Paintless dent repair is the preferred method for hail damage because it restores your vehicle to its pre-storm condition without affecting the factory paint finish.
