How Our Hail Damage Repair Process Works
From the moment a storm hits to the day you drive away dent-free, CCA Dent makes the entire process simple, transparent, and stress-free.
Step-by-Step Process
Your Hail Repair Journey — Step by Step
STEP 1
Storm Response & Deployment
When a significant hailstorm hits a region, CCA Dent mobilizes immediately. We monitor severe weather events across the country and deploy our teams to impacted areas within days. You don't need to come to us — we come to you.
STEP 2
Schedule Your Free Inspection
Once we're set up in your area, contact us by phone or through our website to schedule a free vehicle inspection. Our technician will evaluate every panel of your vehicle and document all hail damage.
STEP 3
Insurance Claim Assistance
If you plan to file an insurance claim (and we recommend it — hail damage is typically covered under comprehensive auto insurance), our team will work with your insurance adjuster directly. We handle the estimates, supplement requests, and communication so you don't have to.
STEP 4
Professional PDR Repair
Once approved, our certified technicians begin the paintless dent repair process. Using specialized lighting and precision tools, they carefully work each dent back to the original contour of the panel. Most repairs are completed within one to three days.
STEP 5
Quality Inspection & Vehicle Return
Before returning your vehicle, we perform a comprehensive final inspection under specialized lighting to ensure every dent has been properly repaired. We hold ourselves to the highest standards — and we won't call it done until it's perfect.
Insurance Guide
Filing a Hail Damage Insurance Claim — What You Need to Know
Hail damage to your vehicle is typically covered under the comprehensive portion of your auto insurance policy. Here's what you should know about the process:
Does insurance cover hail damage?
Yes. If you carry comprehensive coverage on your auto policy, hail damage is a covered event. You'll pay your deductible, and your insurance company covers the rest. In many cases, CCA Dent can help offset or cover your deductible through promotional offers.
Will filing a hail claim raise my rates?
In most states, comprehensive claims — including hail damage — are considered "no-fault" events and typically do not increase your insurance premiums. However, policies vary, so we recommend confirming with your carrier.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Most insurance policies allow you to file a claim for hail damage within a reasonable timeframe after the storm. We recommend filing as soon as possible to avoid complications. CCA Dent can help you get the process started the same day you contact us.
What if I don't have comprehensive coverage?
If you don't carry comprehensive insurance, you can still get your vehicle repaired. CCA Dent offers competitive cash pricing and will provide a detailed estimate so you can make an informed decision.
