Definitely not. Damage from hail falls under what is termed a comprehensive claim, often referred to as an “Act of Nature.” These are events beyond anyone's control and cannot be anticipated. As such, insurance providers do not penalize policyholders with these types of claims on their records by raising their insurance rates. Your insurance representative can confirm the same when you inquire about comprehensive claims.
The cost of repairing hail damage on vehicles can fluctuate widely based on various aspects, such as the vehicle's condition and the extent of the damage. Minor damage often starts at approximately $3,000, whereas more significant harm requiring the replacement of panels and parts can surpass $15,000.
Nonetheless, hail damage falls under the umbrella of comprehensive insurance coverage. Choosing The Hail Group for your repair needs typically means you won't face any direct costs, covering everything from repair bills and insurance deductibles to rental car fees. For those without comprehensive insurance, we encourage you to contact us at (855) 666-4245 for tailored pricing options. Rest assured, our pricing is always equitable and clear.
Should your insurance policy not include rental car coverage and your vehicle requires an extended stay at our facility for repairs, The Hail Group will provide up to $35 daily towards a rental car. Considering the average rental car expense is around $17 per day, this allowance should sufficiently meet the needs of most of our clients.
Furthermore, for added convenience, we're happy to meet you at the rental agency to facilitate a smooth transition!
Absolutely. Upon request, we'll keep you informed with photos and updates, ensuring full transparency throughout the process.
A key advantage of Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is its durability; once the metal is reshaped to its initial form, it remains so for the vehicle's lifespan. Should you encounter any issues with your car in the future that you suspect are linked to our repair work, don't hesitate to reach out. We're committed to rectifying the situation!
Our approach to customer service is guided by the principle of treating others as we'd like to be treated ourselves. This philosophy has earned us an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, something we take great pride in.

When you opt for our valet service to the The Hail Group facility, a customer service representative will be dispatched to collect your vehicle. We will handle all communications with your insurance regarding the damage assessment and updates on the repair process. Upon completion of your vehicle's repairs, your representative will bring it directly back to you. Moreover, if The Hail Group has supplied you with a rental car, your representative will also take care of its return, at no extra cost to you!
Damage assessments can be quite subjective and may differ significantly. Moreover, identifying hail damage can be challenging in bright outdoor light, hence our reliance on specialized lights for paintless dent repair.
As experts in the field of auto hail damage repair, we are adept at addressing and settling such discrepancies. We will engage directly with your insurance provider to secure any extra funding (referred to as "supplements") required to restore your vehicle to its original condition before the loss.
Typically, you're allotted one year from the date of an incident to file a claim and get your car repaired. However, this timeframe can differ depending on the specifics of your insurance policy, so it's wise to initiate your claim and address the damage promptly.
It's important to note that the initial repair estimate is calculated based on the current costs of labor and parts. These prices are subject to change over time.
Opting not to repair hail damage on your vehicle and instead settling your insurance claim with a cash payout will lead to a limitation being placed on your policy regarding the unrepaired damage. This decision can lead to complications for several reasons.
Consider this scenario:
This discrepancy often arises because the initial insurance estimate typically (in 99.9% of cases) fails to cover all the actual damage. Thus, when you ponder over the real value of that $2,500, especially when it ends up costing you $10,000 in trade-in value, it's a significant loss.
This scenario isn't speculative; it's a common occurrence we've witnessed repeatedly.
Should you decide to proceed with the hail damage repairs at a later stage, it's crucial to inform your agent to lift any imposed restrictions on your policy.
