At The Hail Group, we’ve built our name on restoring vehicles quickly and professionally, without the headaches of traditional auto body work. If you’ve noticed unsightly dents or hail damage on your car, you’re not alone. Between unexpected Texas storms and crowded parking lots, vehicle dents are common across St. Louis. But not all damage needs a full repaint or body filler. With our PDR dent repair in St. Louis service, we offer a better solution. Paintless dent repair (PDR) is a modern, non-invasive technique that removes dents from your vehicle without compromising the factory paint.
Our trained technicians use special tools to access the back of the damaged panel and massage the metal back into its original shape. There’s no sanding, no paint, no replacement parts, just precision craftsmanship and a flawless finish. This means you don’t have to worry about mismatched paint colors, long wait times, or inflated costs. Whether the damage is from hail, a door ding, or a minor collision, PDR is often the fastest, most cost-effective option. When you trust us with your vehicle, you’re getting more than a cosmetic fix; you’re protecting the long-term value of your car. And we don’t believe in cutting corners. Every job we take on is treated with care, attention, and a commitment to perfection that has earned us the trust of St. Louis drivers.
In St. Louis, hail season hits hard and fast. A single storm can leave hundreds of dents across your hood, roof, and trunk in a matter of minutes. That’s when most drivers come to us in a panic, but we’re here to make the process simple. Our PDR dent repair St. Louis team is built around fast response times, expert-level work, and exceptional customer service. We specialize in large-scale hail damage repairs and can often restore even heavily damaged vehicles in just a few days.
Our team has decades of combined experience, and every technician is trained in the latest PDR techniques to ensure a seamless repair. We also understand that dealing with insurance after a storm can be frustrating and time-consuming. That’s why we help with the full claims process, starting with a free damage assessment, followed by detailed documentation and direct communication with your insurance company. We know how to speak their language, which makes approvals faster and your out-of-pocket costs lower.
Many of our customers qualify for zero-cost repairs because we handle everything correctly from the start. And unlike national chains that treat you like just another number, we know St. Louis. We live here, we work here, and we’re proud to serve our local community. Our facility is designed to handle high volumes without sacrificing quality, and we offer rental car assistance to minimize your inconvenience. You won’t find pushy sales tactics or vague answers here, just honest help and outstanding results.
Traditional dent repair is time-consuming and expensive. It often involves grinding the surface, applying body filler, sanding the area smooth, and then repainting the panel. Not only is that labor-intensive, but it also means being without your vehicle for days, or even weeks, depending on the body shop’s schedule. That’s where our approach comes in. With PDR dent repair in St. Louis, we skip all that. There’s no need for body filler, paint blending, or risk of overspray. Instead, we gently reshape the metal using tools specifically designed for the PDR process. It’s minimally invasive, yet highly effective, even on aluminum and high-strength steel panels.
The result? A dent-free finish that looks just like the day you bought your car, without altering the factory paint. For leaseholders, PDR is an excellent way to avoid costly end-of-lease damage charges. For resale purposes, it helps retain the full value of your car because you’re preserving the original paint, which matters to both dealerships and private buyers. Plus, PDR is an eco-friendly repair method.
Since we’re not using chemicals, paints, or solvents, we reduce the environmental impact and avoid contributing to unnecessary waste.
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.
For customers who prefer not to travel all the way to our location, we provide a complimentary valet service for complete auto hail damage repairs.
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.
