Edwardsville Hail Damage Repair
Across the USA, hail causes millions of dollars in damage to property - both commercial and private. Among that includes damage specific to cars and trucks.
The 618 Metro East area, and Edwardsville in particular, are certainly known for its frequency of hail storms. With that comes costly events like roof hail damage, auto hail damage, etc. In 2019 alone, the Edwardsille, IL area has had 7+ reports of damage-causing hail - with the frequency jumping as high as 26 hail reports in 2017. In the same report, the largest size of hail recorded in 2019 was 2 inches in diameter - certainly large enough to do some significant damage to the surface of your vehicle.
Edwardsville Paintless Dent Repair Company Specializing in Auto Hail Repair
618 Dent Guy has completed hundreds of restorations over the years that have been affected by hail damage - both personal and commercial vehicles alike. While a good amount of our experience does come from non-hail events (door dings, bumper scrapes, etc), a significant portion of our clientele are those whose vehicle has been peppered with hail damage.
When you discover the damage inflicted by hail, it can sometimes look as if your car has been totaled. In a panic, you may reach out to the first company you can think of - a body shop or your dealership. Unfortunately, those businesses can take advantage of this situation by greatly inflating the pricing for repairing your vehicle, or can take weeks and weeks to repair - leaving you without a mode of transportation (and no assistance with getting a rental car!).
For residents of Edwardsvile who frequently encounter hailstorms, it’s important to be aware of your local paintless dent repair companies who specialize in auto hail repair, such as 618 Dent Guy. By utilizing a company that has demonstrated experience in paintless dent repair, particularly from hail damage, you can enjoy a seamless PDR experience that results in a like-new vehicle.
What Makes the Process of Paintless Dent Repair in Edwardsville Better Than Local Auto Repair Shops?
While your local body shop is certainly skilled at many aspects of auto repair, paintless dent repair is a very specialized area of auto expertise that requires training and practice to perfect. As PDR deals with surface damage only, and does not compromise the integrity of the vehicle’s paint, many technicians are not able to complete this method with the professional results you deserve.
Paintless Dent Repair does not require body filler (Bondo), sanding, or repainting of the vehicle. This minimally-invasive, yet completely effective method saves your car from losing monetary value (which is what happens when anything that is not original to the car is added, such as new paint). Many dealership repair shops or technicians will not take this into consideration, however, and will simply move forward with their version of repairs.
