Having your car damaged by a hailstorm can be incredibly frustrating, but don’t panic. Hail damage repairs may not be as enjoyable as relaxing with your favorite TV show, but following a few key steps can help you complete the process with as little stress as possible.
Say Cheese for Insurance!
Before anything else, once it’s safe to go outside, your first stop in hail damage repair should be taking pictures of all the hail damage to your vehicle. If your insurance covers hail damage, having this evidence is a key first step before contacting your insurance provider.
Clean and Contact
Once you’ve gotten all the photos you need and have filed a claim with your insurance provider, the next step in hail damage repair is cleaning your car. This may seem unexpected, but having your car clean makes it easier for a professional assessment of the damage to be made, since all the hail damage will be clearly visible.
Once you’ve cleaned your car, it’s time to contact JB Tintz & Dent Repair for a repair estimate. Since no two hailstorms are alike, hail damage repair isn’t a “one size fits all” service, since very small hailstones can cause minimal or even no damage to your car, while larger hailstones can leave scratches, dents, or even broken windows.
Schedule Repairs
Once your insurance claim has been approved, you can schedule an appointment for hail damage repair, and we’ll have you back on the road before you know it.
Worried About the Road Ahead?
If you want to avoid costly hail damage repairs in the future, remember to park your car in a covered garage or cover it with a hail blanket before severe weather occurs. We also offer ceramic coating services, so you can give your vehicle’s paint an extra layer of protection against hail and any potential damage from debris on the roads.
