Filed a hail claim? We handle the rest.

- 20+ Years Experience
- Insurance Supplements
- Parts & Glass Replaced
- Lifetime Warranty
Three steps from claim filed to car finished.
Our ideal customer has already been through the inspection — we're the shop you bring your check to, not the one that writes the first estimate. That's where we add value.
File your claim, cash the first check
Open a hail claim with your carrier. They inspect and cut you the first estimate check — that's your starting point, not your ceiling.
Bring it to us — we handle the repair
Drop off or request a mobile crew. We restore every panel with PDR where we can, body and factory-match paint where we must, plus any trim, parts, or glass the storm totaled.
We supplement the claim, you drive away
If our scope exceeds your first check, we file the supplement directly with your adjuster. You drive away restored — lifetime warranty, zero runaround.

Auto Hail Techs vs. a traditional body shop.
PDR is the fastest, cleanest way to undo hail damage when the paint is intact. We lead with it — but we also do full bodywork, factory-match refinish, and parts/glass replacement when the storm did more than dent the sheetmetal. One shop, one intake, one warranty.
| What matters | Auto Hail Techs | Traditional body shop |
|---|---|---|
| Preserves factory paint | Yes — on PDR-eligible panels | No — must repaint |
| Fillers / Bondo required | Never on PDR panels | Usually |
| Handles cracked paint or bent panels | Yes — we do body + factory-match paint in-house | Yes — but typically the whole car gets painted |
| Hail-damaged parts & windshield | Replaced as part of the claim | Often sublet to third parties |
| Typical turnaround | 1–3 days (PDR) / 5–10 days (mixed body) | 2–4 weeks |
| Insurance preference | Preferred — lower cost, supplement-friendly | Higher claim cost |
| Lifetime workmanship warranty | Standard — PDR and refinish both covered | Shop-dependent |
Here's exactly what happens after you file your claim.
Hail claims feel complicated because you're doing one once. We're doing them every day. The four steps below are the whole job — the first two are yours, the last two are ours. Once you hand us your first-estimate check, you stop having homework.
You won't call your adjuster again. You won't chase parts or glass orders. You won't compare estimates or negotiate. You'll drive.
Often $0 out of pocket.
Where state law allowsMost insured customers pay nothing at pickup. Where permitted, we absorb your comprehensive deductible as part of our pricing and invoice your carrier direct for the rest. The first-estimate check you already cashed stays with you — no write-a-check surprise when you come get your keys. We'll confirm what's allowed for your state and carrier during intake.
- Your sideStep 1
File the claim with your carrier
Call your insurance company and open a comprehensive (weather) claim — that's the coverage that handles hail, not your at-fault policy. Their adjuster inspects the vehicle, writes a first estimate, and mails you a check. That check is almost always low: adjusters work curbside, in bad light, under time pressure. Treat it as a starting point, not a final number.
- Your sideStep 2
Drop the vehicle (and the check) off with us
Come to our shop or tell us where you are — we'll route a mobile crew to your driveway, fleet yard, or dealer lot. Bring the first-estimate check, the adjuster's itemized estimate, your claim number, carrier name, and your deductible amount. We re-inspect every panel under shop lighting; dent counts routinely come in 30–60% higher than what the adjuster wrote down.
- Our sideStep 3
Restore the vehicle — PDR, body, paint, parts, glass
Paintless dent repair on every panel where the paint is still intact — your factory finish stays. Bodywork and factory-match refinish on panels where paint cracked or metal stretched past recovery. OEM (or OEM-equivalent) replacement for any trim, moldings, mirrors, side glass, windshields, or sunroof glass the storm damaged. Every line documented with photos for the claim file.
- Our sideStep 4
File the supplement and handle your carrier
When the real scope exceeds the first-estimate check (it usually does), we submit a supplement directly to your adjuster with line-item photos, OEM part numbers, and labor priced at your carrier's published rates. We talk to the insurer — you don't. Most supplements approve without pushback. When everything's approved, we invoice your carrier direct, collect your deductible (or absorb it where state law permits), and hand you the keys.
Bring this checklist with you.
If you have everything on this list, we can start the real-scope re-inspection the same day. Missing a piece? Still come — we'll track it down with your carrier.
- Your first-estimate check from the carrier
- The adjuster's itemized damage estimate
- Your carrier's name and claim number
- Your deductible amount
- Any photos the adjuster took (optional but helpful)

“Auto Hail Techs was fast, professional, and transparent start to finish. My truck took a brutal hit and you'd never know now. They handled my insurance claim and the paint looks exactly like it did off the lot.”
“Highly recommend this team. Clear communication, fair pricing, and the quality of their PDR work is the best I've seen. They walked me through the whole insurance process — no surprises.”
“They came to our lot after the storm and restored multiple vehicles in days, not weeks. Great crew, clean work, no shortcuts. Will use them again next catastrophe season.”
