First off upon discovering damage to your vehicle, communicate with your insurance provider to begin the claims process. Do not hesitant to file a claim for fear of your insurance premiums being raised. Filing a hail claim will never cause your premiums to go up. Hail damage is covered under comprehensive coverage and is considered an act of nature. Your insurance provider will send an appraiser or direct you to an appraisal center for a full appraisal of your vehicle’s hail damage. After the inspection, your insurance company will provide you with a list of body shops they recommend. The shops are called Direct Repair Programs. These shops have agreements with the insurance companies. Unfortunately, these body shops depend on the insurance companies to direct work to them and in return agree to provide discounts on parts and labor to the insurance company. Most are good body shops; however, they are under pressure to keep repair costs down to maintain good standing with the insurance companies. Most insurance providers will allow you to take your vehicle to the servicer of your choice.

Most insurance providers have endorsed Paintless dent repair for automobile hail damage repair, unless the damage is too serious to be repaired with this procedure. The best option is having your vehicle repaired by paintless dent repair that is performed by a professional PDR technician. This method allows you to retain your vehicle’s factory finish, rather than having a body shop repair it with aftermarket replacement panels and repainting the damaged area, consequently restoring it to pre-loss condition.
