Mid-Missouri is no stranger to hail storms. They can show up without warning and leave dents and bumps all over your car’s roof, hood and panels. Our technicians in Columbia are trained to repair large and small dents, with or without paint.
Paintless dent repair for hail damage
Paintless dent removal is the method our technicians use most for hail damage. Using advanced tools, they apply calculated force to gently work out each dent and restore the panels to their original shape. Because the factory paint is never disturbed, the repair preserves your vehicle’s value, and it’s affordable and quick compared with replacing and repainting panels.
It’s also the repair insurance companies prefer for qualifying exterior damage. Today’s vehicles are finished with a flexible paint, so most hail dents can be worked out without cracking it.
What a hail repair includes
A paintless dent removal job for hail damage at Galen’s includes:
- an expert look at all of the exterior damage
- an assessment of the size, severity and location of every dent
- a seamless, paint-free repair of the bumps, dents and dings
If any panel has cracked or split paint, paintless dent repair alone won’t fix it. We’ll tell you which panels need a paint repair before any work starts.
