A hail storm can come without warning. When it does, it can leave your vehicle looking like the surface of the moon, with craters dotting the hood and roof. In a particularly severe storm, you can even end up with broken windows.
Many people figure hail damage is just cosmetic and don’t bother to have it repaired. However, when the dents from hail damage are left untreated, the creases can crack and chip off over time and leave you with a blemished paint job, which increases the risk of rust and corrosion setting in.
It’s important to have hail damage repaired in a timely manner. Below are some of the ways we can do just that through our auto body repair services here at Zimbrick.
Paintless Dent Repair
Paintless dent repair (PDR) restores the body of a vehicle damaged by hail to brand new condition quickly and affordably. The method is called “paintless” because the original paint is completely preserved, and no fresh coat is needed.
How does it work? Paintless dent repair involves the use of special tools to slowly and carefully “massage” a dent out of existence. A technician first assesses the damage in question, then a special tool is used to apply pressure to the affected area, beginning with the outer edges of the dent and slowly working to its center until the dent eventually disappears.
Paintless dent repair has several advantages over traditional dent repair work, including a much lower cost, faster service (a typical service can be completed in only a few hours), better value retention for the affected vehicle, and a much cleaner finish since no fresh coat of paint is needed.
Auto Glass Repair
At Zimbrick Body Shop, we’re proud to offer a variety of auto glass repair services. If a severe hail storm has broken or damaged one of your vehicle’s windows, we can very easily solve the problem for you. Whether your windshield is simply chipped from a slight hit, or you’re missing a window and need a full replacement, we’ve got you covered.
If you think a small chip in one of your car’s windows is nothing to worry about, think again. Window damage on your car weakens the window’s strength and can lead to structural damage if left unrepaired, leading to a much more expensive job.
A Better Way to Repair Hail Damage
While there are some ways to repair hail damage yourself, it’s rarely easy or guaranteed. Fortunately, Zimbrick Body Shop offers multiple better ways to do so.
