Hail Damage Insurance Claims — We Handle the Process
Hail damage falls under comprehensive auto insurance — not collision. We conduct a full panel-by-panel assessment, photograph all damage, and prepare complete documentation before any work begins. We work directly with all major providers, manage adjuster communication and scope approval in-house, and ensure every affected panel is covered — not just the most visible ones.
Florida law gives you the right to choose your own repair shop. This matters on hail claims because insurer-preferred shops may prioritize speed over thoroughness on high-volume storm events. Choosing your own shop ensures the repair is done to the standard your vehicle requires.

Frequently Asked Questions — Hail Damage Repair
Yes. BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Tesla, Lexus, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and all luxury makes are a regular part of our hail damage repair work. Aluminum panels and complex paint finishes require specific technique and tooling — all standard at our shop.
No — PDR is viable when the paint surface is intact and the metal hasn’t been stretched beyond correction. Dents where the paint has cracked or stress-fractured require repainting after correction or panel replacement. Our technicians assess each dent individually before any work begins.
Most repairs completed entirely with PDR take 3–7 business days depending on the number of panels affected. Repairs requiring panel replacement and repainting take 7–14 days. We provide a timeline estimate after the full assessment is complete.
Yes — documenting the damage immediately after the event gives you the most accurate claim and the best outcome on scope approval. High claim volume after major storm events backs up both insurance processing and shop availability. Getting assessed and documented quickly puts you ahead of the backlog.
PDR does not affect your paint — it corrects dents from behind the panel without any sanding, filling, or repainting. The original factory finish is preserved entirely. Panel replacement requires repainting, which we perform using spectrophotometer color matching in our climate-controlled spray booth.
Yes — hail damage is covered under comprehensive auto insurance, not collision. If you carry comprehensive coverage, hail damage is a covered loss. We manage the complete claims process including full damage documentation, adjuster communication, and scope approval to ensure every affected panel is included in the approved claim.
