FAQs

No, filing a hail claim will not raise your insurance premium. Hail damage is considered an "Act of Nature" or "Comprehensive Claim," and by law, these kinds of claims cannot influence your insurance rates. However, if a large number of claims are filed in a particular area due to a significant event, such as a severe hailstorm, insurance rates may increase collectively as a result. 

At Hail Center, we recommend consulting with your insurance provider for a thorough understanding of your policy's stipulations regarding hail damage claims.

Multiple factors make PDR a superior choice:

1. No Subcontracting

    - Bodyshops often outsource to PDR technicians, essentially profiting from your claim without having any direct involvement in the repair process. This can risk quality as your vehicle's repairs could be compromised due to cost-sharing between the shop and the PDR technician.

2. No Use of Bondo

    - Traditional bodyshops might use an excessive amount of Bondo (a type of body filler) which simply fills in the dents without truly repairing them. This not only masks the problem but also adds significant weight to your vehicle as Bondo is quite heavy.

3. Preserving Factory Paint

    - The original factory paint job on your vehicle is typically the highest quality it'll ever have! With PDR, we avoid repainting as much as possible to maintain that original pristine finish.

4. Time-Efficiency

    - The PDR process is considerably quicker compared to what most bodyshops can offer (unless they are subcontracting). You get to save time and get your vehicle back faster.

The duration of repairs largely depends on the extent of the damage, the availability of your insurance company to evaluate the damages in conjunction with our workshop, and the arrival time for necessary parts for your vehicle. On average, we anticipate the entire process from start to finish to take about 3-4 weeks. Rest assured, during this period, we offer a courtesy car if you require one.

No, a hail damage claim will not show up on your CarFax report. CarFax reports primarily track accidents and collisions that impact the structure of the vehicle. In contrast, hail damage primarily affects the external body of the car and is considered a comprehensive claim, which isn’t reported to CarFax.

2. No Impact on Premiums: Contrary to common misconception, your insurance premium will not increase due to filing a claim for hail damage.
