Will filing a claim impact my premium?
Hail damage claims fall under comprehensive insurance coverage, and insurance companies don’t penalize policy holders for damage from acts of nature. It wasn’t your fault!

In fact, in many cases you pay no out of pocket expenses for hail damage repair service from PDR Auto. While your insurance company may recommend a specific repair shop or a “Direct Repair Facility”, you are within your rights to select the shop of your choice. 

What happens after I file a claim?
Once you file a claim, your insurance company will most likely tell you that an adjuster from the company needs to value the damage of the vehicle. That’s okay. It’s part of the process! Once you have that preliminary estimate in hand, you can bring it to PDR Auto where we will do our own independent assessment to confirm all damage is accounted for. If there is a discrepancy, we will bill your insurance company directly at no cost to you!

How long will the repair process take?
There are a few variables when it comes to repairing a hail damaged vehicle. These include the extent of the damage and what parts, if any, need replacement. Typically, we like to have you in and out in under a week. Every vehicle is slightly different so please reach out to us for an assessment and more specific details to your situation.

Pro Tip:
Once you file a claim with your insurance company, a restriction for “unrepaired damage” is in effect on your insurance policy. They may deny future claims until the completion of the hail damage repairs. If you choose to not repair your vehicle and your vehicle becomes involved in an accident or another hail storm, your insurance company will deduct the amount of the initial settlement from the new claim. You will be responsible to pay the difference for the new repairs. If you file the claim, get the repairs. The risk is too great! 

Hail damage repairs take more time than other minor dent repairs. We want to ensure we do the job right. Therefore, it usually takes up to one week to complete hair damage PDR.
