Parking your vehicle in a garage or carport keeps it safe from hail damage. If this isn’t an option, however, you run the risk of hailstorms damaging the auto body and glass. Fortunately, an auto body shop can quickly restore your car or truck to its original condition. Below are a few examples of what local collision centers can do to assist you in the wake of hail damage.

How Auto Body Shops Help With Hail Damage

1. Auto Glass Repair

It’s possible for hailstorms to chip, crack, or even shatter your windshields and windows. Collision centers provide auto glass repairs to make sure you have clear visibility on the roads. Even when damage to the glass is minor, your repair team may recommend replacing your windows and windshields, as cracks tend to spread and cause warping over time. 

2. Paintless Dent Removal

As its name suggests, paintless dent repair services remove dings and blemishes from hailstorms without the need for drilling, sanding, filling, and repainting. As such, your vehicle can be ready in a fraction of the time it would take to replace full panels or apply new coats of paint. This also tends to make paintless dent removal more cost efficient. 

3. Rental Vehicles

Collision centers make auto body and glass repairs even more convenient by arranging a rental vehicle on your behalf. You’ll remain completely mobile from the time your vehicle enters the shop until all the repairs are complete. This is especially helpful if you need more extensive auto body work, such as complete panel replacements or a new paint job.
