After a Hail Storm.

Within the first hour

1. Safety first: confirm everyone is safe and move to covered parking if possible.
2. Quick photos: capture wide shots of all sides plus roof/hood/trunk.
3. Note the time: storm time/date helps with claims and documentation.

What to check on the vehicle

• Roof, hood, trunk (most common impact zones)
• Body lines near braces (damage can hide in shadows)
• Glass, lights, trim, and mirrors (chips/cracks)

How to take better hail photos

1. Use angled light: early/late sunlight shows dents best.
2. Two distances: 6–10 feet away and close-ups.
3. Repeat panels: roof/hood/trunk from multiple angles.

Next 24–48 hours

1. Get an estimate: submit details on our Free Estimate page.
2. Decide on a repair method: PDR when appropriate helps preserve factory finish.
3. Plan scheduling: choose a time that fits your week and transportation needs.
