Stay Ahead of the Storm: Preparing for Hail Season with Hail Auto North America

When ominous clouds gather overhead and the threat of a hailstorm looms, many vehicle owners feel a pang of dread. Hail, while a natural phenomenon, can cause significant damage to your vehicle, leaving unsightly dents and costly repairs in its wake. However, with a bit of preparation and the support of Hail Auto North America, you can mitigate the impact of these ice pellets on your car.


Understanding Hail Damage


Hailstones can vary greatly in size, from tiny pellets that ping off your car harmlessly, to large balls of ice equivalent to the size of grapefruits that can wreak absolute havoc on your vehicle. The extent of the damage these icy missiles inflict on your vehicle depends on their size, the speed at which they're falling, and the angle at which they hit.


Dents are the most common form of damage sustained from hailstorms. They can range from minor dimples in the bodywork to large indentations that significantly distort the shape and overall aesthetic appeal of your car. Even small dents can devalue your vehicle, making it less attractive to potential buyers should you decide to sell.


State-of-the-Art Hail Damage Detection


In the aftermath of a hailstorm, accurately assessing the extent of the damage your vehicle has sustained is critical. Traditional methods often involve manual inspections, which can be time-consuming and inefficient, sometimes missing smaller dents. This is where Hail Auto North America's state-of-the-art DRIVEnSCAN technology provides a much-needed solution.


Our patented DRIVEnSCAN technology scans your vehicle from front to back, hood top, identifying and classifying every dent, regardless of its size. In less than five minutes, you'll receive a comprehensive scan report featuring pixel-perfect, high-precision markings for each dent, along with the precise measurements of these dents. This allows you to fully understand the extent of the damage and plan your repairs accordingly.


Effective Hail Repair Solutions


After identifying the extent of the hail damage, the next critical step is addressing it. Hail Auto North America offers specialized hail repair services, handling everything from minor dings to major dents that disrupt your vehicle's aesthetics and structure.


We specialize in Paintless Dent Repair (PDR), a method that maintains your car's original finish and helps retain its value. PDR is an environmentally friendly technique that removes dents without the need for invasive procedures like filling, sanding, or repainting. Our highly skilled technicians use specialized tools to gently push the dented metal back into its original place, preserving your vehicle's original finish.


Preparing for Hail Season


While we can't control the weather, we can take proactive measures to protect our vehicles from the onslaught of hail. Keeping an eye on the weather forecast and ensuring your car is parked indoors or under a protective carport when storms are expected is one way to minimize potential damage.


However, even the most meticulous preparations can't always prevent hail damage. That's why it's crucial to have a reliable partner like Hail Auto North America by your side when you need it most.
