Harsh storms are always stressful, whether you’re dealing with tree branches, leaves, and other debris scattered across your yard, or have more serious concerns, like damage to your home or automobiles. The last thing you want to see after a storm is a patch of new dents scattered across your car, but hail damage repair doesn’t have to be overcomplicated. Take a deep breath and follow a few simple steps to get your hail damage repairs completed efficiently and promptly
Evaluate the Damage
If you have serious damage to your vehicle that prevents a safe driving experience, you should schedule repairs as soon as possible. Damage to your windshield, cracks in the vehicle’s body, and damage to the frame should all be repaired promptly.
But this kind of damage only comes from severe storms with very heavy hail—something that isn’t particularly common in North Carolina weather patterns. You’re far more likely to need hail damage repairs from smaller hailstones, which leave minor and mostly cosmetic damage.
Hail damage repairs should still be completed if the damage is minor, but you can safely drive your car until you have a chance to get the repairs done.
If hail damage repairs are covered by your insurance policy, while evaluating the hail damage, you should also take photographs of the damaged vehicle from a few different angles to include when filing your claim.
Find Professional Help
Evaluating the damage to your vehicle can also help you determine what kind of hail damage repairs you need. Serious damage may require the assistance of a body shop. However, minor dents can be repaired by a mobile dent repair company.
Mobile dent repair companies will come to your location, fix the damage on-site, and typically offer lower repair fees than conventional auto body shops. If you think mobile hail damage repairs might be possible for your vehicle, you can send a photo of the damage to us at Interstate Dent Company. Not only will we let you know what kind of repairs you need, we’ll also give you a quick estimate on our price to fix them.
