Importance of Auto Hail Repair & Why to go for PDR

Posted by Dent Head Quarters on January 8th, 2019

Hail can cause thousands of dollars of damage to your vehicles. According to the statistics culled from NOAA's Severe Storms database, there were around 5,600 major hail storms in 2016. In the last five years, claims related to wind and hail damage in the United States itself, accounted for around 40 percent of all insured losses, which is approximately billion annually. And the numbers are growing each year. If your vehicle has also been damaged by hail storm, then you should immediately take it to a reputable auto hail repair shop in Plano. Even a small dent can turn into extensive paint damage and increase your repair cost. Auto hail repair will benefit you in the following ways:-

• It will prevent your vehicle from developing rust

The biggest problem that arises when you put off dent repair is that it leads to rust. Cracks in the paint caused by the impact that created the dent result in the water getting seeped under the paint and clear coat. If left untreated for a long period of time, this can cause the underneath metal to oxidize, forming rust.  

• You can save money by preventing larger repairs

A relatively small dent is fairly easy and cost-effective to fix. Weakened paint does not only allow water to reach your car’s metallic surface, but its continued exposure to wind, rain, and the Sun causes the paint to crack, flake, and peel.

• You get to maximize the resale value of your vehicle

Dents are also very unsightly to look at. This means if you are planning to sell your car or trade your vehicle in, it can affect your car’s resale value. Taking your car to an auto hail repair shop will allow you to maximize the resale value of your vehicle.

Auto hail repair methods

Instead of going for the conventional auto body repair methods like grinding the dent or working the metal then filling with a bondo, it is better to go for PDR. PDR or Paintless Dent Repair provides you with a variety of benefits. They are as follows:-

• Ideal for every kind of damage - Virtually every type of hail damage can be repaired by PDR like dings, dents, minor collision damage, etc.
• Factory finish - The biggest advantage of choosing PDR is that the factory finish of your vehicle remains intact and you do not have to worry about non-matching paint.
• Cost-effective - Price is always an important consideration because saving a few bucks is never a bad idea. PDR costs less and most repairs are 1/3 of the price of a regular service.
• Faster - As compared to other methods, PDR is much faster. Most dings and dents can be repaired in as little as one hour. Minor collision and bigger dents can take a few hours, but still, the process takes lesser time than conventional body shop methods
