This article answers the popular question: Does Truman’s Automotive do hail damage repair?

Storms in the Midwest bring all kinds of crazy weather! Heavy rain, high winds, and hail – your vehicle’s worst enemy. In this article, we talk about a few reasons why Truman’s Automotive should be your first call following a hail storm for all your hail damage repair needs. We’re not your average auto body shop. Our technicians are hail repair experts and will get your vehicle restored to its pre-storm condition in no time.

High-Quality Paintless Dent Repair Tools

For hail damage repairs, professional automotive and auto body shops may use what is known as paintless dent repair (PDR). With the PDR technique, the goal is to push the indented metal back into shape while preserving the vehicle’s paint.

First, one of our skilled technicians will determine the best way to access the hail-damaged area – either through a window opening or by removing trim pieces or inner panels of the vehicle. Then, using specialized high-quality repair tools, the technician starts at the dent’s outer edge and massages the metal back into its outward position.

Paintless dent repair may not work for all types of hail damage. If the dent has sharp edges, chipped or scratched paint, or the dent is located in an unreachable area, PDR may not be the right option for you.

Certified Technicians

Erasing hail damage from a car without performing bodywork takes skill and precision, so it’s vital to choose a reputable auto repair shop with highly skilled technicians. When the damage repair is done correctly by technicians who specialize in the trade, paintless dent removal can provide significant cost savings and minimize downtime since PDR is typically a quick process. When you let Truman’s fix the hail damage on your vehicle, you’re getting the best of the best service.
