Having your car damaged by a hail storm is not the end of the world.
Choosing Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) saves you money, time and hassle.
PDR has been the preferred method for hail repair for decades now. The older conventional way consists of replacing any badly damaged panels and filling the rest of the dent with body filler and repainting.
Using old-world methods, coupled with the latest technologies, we are able to retain your vehicle’s OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) panels and your factory finish to keep your resale value in tack.
Hail damage and other weather-related incidents are covered under comprehensive or “full coverage” policies. Here in Texas, a weather-related claim DOES NOT affect your premium.
Hail is formed when very strong thunderstorm updrafts meet super-cooled water droplets. Super-cooled water droplets are liquid water drops that are surrounded by air that is below freezing, and they're a common occurrence in thunderstorms. There are two methods of hail stone formation and growth that give hail stones their "layered" look.
A tiny ice crystal will be the nucleus of the hailstone. In wet growth, supercooled water droplets collide with and spread across the ice nucleus. Since this process is relatively slow (slower than the dry growth process) it results in a layer of clear ice.
Unlike wet growth, the supercooled water meets the ice nucleus and immediately freezes. Because this process is so fast, everything within the supercooled droplet, including small air bubbles, freezes into the layer, which gives it a cloudy look.
Hail repair comes in many shapes and sizes. Before we begin repairing your vehicle, a member from our team will speak with you to gauge the damage and determine the best possible options to get your vehicle back in tip-top shape!
Our experts will take a look at the hail damage and discuss the dent removal services that are needed.
Once we figure out how much hail damage there is, we start the car dent repair process on all spots where hail damage is visible
When the job repair is complete we make sure all clients are happy with the job and make any changes necessary before sending you home.
Covered parking is the best way to protect your vehicle from an unexpected hail storm. If you live in a state frequented by hail storms, be sure to be scope out those covered spots during hail storm season. It could save you the time and money spent on hail repair!
If you are caught in a hail storm while driving around town, don’t try to make it home. Instead, seek temporary shelter for you and your vehicle. Oftentimes, local malls and other retail locations have parking garages where you can easily park if you see a storm brewing.
If you don’t have access to covered parking or temporary shelter, try your best to cover your car. While some companies sell car covers specifically for hail protection, your own blankets can work just as effectively! Be sure you duct tape your blankets down because high winds could carry them away. The tape could leave your car a bit sticky, but will most likely reduce the damage sustained.
If you need car hail damage repair, Express Paintless can make your car look brand new again.
