The stormy season is approaching North Texas. If you have lived here for any number of time you understand that hail tends to be inevitable. The trick is being proactive and knowing ahead of time what your options are to protecting your vehicle from hail damage.
Garage
Of course your first line of defense is parking your vehicle in your own garage or covered driveway. However, we understand that not everyone has a garage, or has a garage with space for your vehicle.
Covered Public Parking
When you are out and about be looking for covered public parking. This way when you see the storm coming, you know just where to take your vehicle. Think about shopping centers or mall parking garages, or if you don’t have time try to look for an overpass or maybe even a gas station canopy.
Large Buildings
If you know which direction the storm is coming from, park your vehicle on the opposite side of the building. So if the storm is coming from the east, park on the west side. What you are doing is using the coverage from the building to hopefully keep your vehicle safe from the worst of the storm. If the wind is strong enough, the building may completely shield your car from damage.
Blankets
If you are really in a bind gather all the old blankets you have. Lay them over your vehicle and tape them down with duct tape. Just be careful not to put the tape directly on your vehicle if possible. You don’t want tape residue left behind in unwanted places. If you live in a hail prone area, you may benefit from purchasing a car cover.
Hopefully your vehicle is spared from the storm, however, if it did get to you do not worry. Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, is here to make it right. Let us repair your vehicle with our Paintless Dent Repair system!
