FAQs

No, filing a hail claim will not raise your insurance premium. Hail damage is considered an "Act of Nature" or "Comprehensive Claim," and by law, these kinds of claims cannot influence your insurance rates. However, if a large number of claims are filed in a particular area due to a significant event, such as a severe hailstorm, insurance rates may increase collectively as a result. 

At Hail Center, we recommend consulting with your insurance provider for a thorough understanding of your policy's stipulations regarding hail damage claims.

Multiple factors make PDR a superior choice:

1. No Subcontracting

    - Bodyshops often outsource to PDR technicians, essentially profiting from your claim without having any direct involvement in the repair process. This can risk quality as your vehicle's repairs could be compromised due to cost-sharing between the shop and the PDR technician.

2. No Use of Bondo

    - Traditional bodyshops might use an excessive amount of Bondo (a type of body filler) which simply fills in the dents without truly repairing them. This not only masks the problem but also adds significant weight to your vehicle as Bondo is quite heavy.

3. Preserving Factory Paint

    - The original factory paint job on your vehicle is typically the highest quality it'll ever have! With PDR, we avoid repainting as much as possible to maintain that original pristine finish.

4. Time-Efficiency

    - The PDR process is considerably quicker compared to what most bodyshops can offer (unless they are subcontracting). You get to save time and get your vehicle back faster.

Ensuring prompt repair of hail damage to your vehicle sustains its condition and value for several reasons:

1. Preserving Resale Value: Hail damage can significantly reduce the market value of your automobile, making it challenging to sell or trade it in at a dealership.

2. No Impact on Premiums: Contrary to common misconception, your insurance premium will not increase due to filing a claim for hail damage.

3. Preventing Rust: If hail has cracked the paint on your car, rust can develop over time if the damage goes untreated.
