Every auto repair is different. Some repairs require extensive work while others may only need a simpler repair such as PDR. Either way, you should always approach repairs with these three things in mind to ensure a seamless auto hail repair process.
Find the Right Shop for You
Take some time to research repair shops that offer quality repairs and timely turnaround times. This is your time to treat this as an interview. In this case, you’re the interviewer looking to hire a repair shop. You want the most qualified repair shop to take care of your vehicle. Don’t hesitate to ask the shop about their repair process, available offers when you repair with them, pictures showcasing their work, and references. Transparency is important and will help you choose the right repair shop, so make sure you have all the information you need before making a decision. Always check reviews and star ratings as an added precaution to see what customers have said about their experience.
Create a Budget
Once you find the perfect candidate or in this case a repair shop, budget appropriately for the total cost of your auto hail repair. When requesting quotes from different shops, keep in mind that the cost will largely depend on the extent of damage to your vehicle. There are different ways to repair hail damage and some methods are more expensive than others simply because of the labor that it requires. It is also important to contact your insurance to find out about your coverage and deductibles. By the way, when you repair with us, we’ll waive your deductible. Once you consider this information, you’ll be able to create a reasonable and accurate budget for your repairs.
Pick Your Repairs
As previously mentioned, the cost of repairs depends on the methods needed to restore your vehicle to its original condition. For example, traditional methods that require sanding, filling, and repainting will be more expensive than paintless dent repair which repairs a vehicle without paint or extensive labor. Although PDR is the preferred method because it’s quicker and less expensive, you will ultimately need to pick the repairs that your vehicle needs. In other words, if the damage is more severe, you can expect a traditional repair method to be used.
