HAIL REPAIR
WHAT IS HAIL REPAIR & HOW DOES IT WORK?
UNFORTUNATELY, due to a recent storm, you now have hail damage on your vehicle. Fortunately, we are here to help!
JUST about all hail damage can be repaired with a process called paintless dent repair. it’s exactly how it sounds. repairing dents without having to paint. when a hail stone makes impact, it stretches the metal and changes the tension and compression that the panel originally had from the manufacturer. first step, removal of any trim that will allow us to gain access to the backside of the dent. then, we use an assortment of specialized tools, made specifically to massage out the damage, while maintaining your factory finish. Your trim is re-installed, the vehicle is cleaned, and now restored back to the condition it was in prior to the storm.
SHOULD I USE MY INSURANCE?
If you carry comprehensive coverage, then yes, you should definitely use your insurance to repair the hail damage. This is exactly why you pay for this coverage. Comprehensive coverage covers acts of nature that were out of your control.
BUT will making a claim raise my rates? great question, and we hear it all the time. in short, no. Texas law states that your insurance can not single out your policy and raise the rates because of a hail damage claim. the truth is, at the end of the year, whether you make a claim or not, everyones rates are increased across the board if there are catastrophes in the area that you live in.
I have personally filed a hail claim on my truck, two on my jeep, and My rates have never gone up because of those claims. but, at the end of the year, once I extend my policy, my rates will go up due to the overall amount of claims in the city and zip code in which I reside.
So, if you are spending your hard earned income on protecting your investment, then get your money’s worth and repair the damage.
WHAT ABOUT MY DEDUCTIBLE?!
When it comes to payment of an insurance claim, your insurance will pay for the repair, less your deductible. For example, if your repair is going to cost $5000 and your deductible is $500, then the insurance will make a payment to the shop for $4500 and you would traditionally be responsible for the remaining $500.
