Has your vehicle been hit by hail recently? Sometimes a hail storm shows up when we least expect it, and we do not have time to move our vehicle to shelter. At Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, we know that sometimes there’s just nothing you can do when it comes to damage from a hail storm. Once the storm has passed, it is important to do a thorough inspection of your vehicle to access for any damage. Here’s what to look for:
Glass
First, look over all the glass on your vehicle. Check for broken, chipped, or cracked glass. Check your windshield, then check your side and back windows as well. Cracked glass could impair your vision while driving. Also, if it is cracked badly enough, it could shatter while the car is in motion making it a safety hazard to you and your passengers.
Mirrors
Next, check your side mirrors. Are they still there? If they aren’t, I’d say it’s a safe bet the hail knocked them off. If they are still there check their joints. Just because the hail didn’t knock them off initially does not mean they have not taken on damage. Make sure they are still properly attached with no signs of potential failure. You use your mirrors to access your surrounding while driving. If your mirrors are damaged you run the risk of them falling off while driving putting yourself and others at risk.
Dents
Finally, to thoroughly inspect for hail damage, check the body of your vehicle for dents. You will want to be sure to check the entire body. Dents from hail can be anywhere on your vehicle, but specifically check the trunk, hood, door jambs, and sides. Hail produces dents in all sizes, big and small, so if there is a dent on your vehicle it could be from a recent hail storm.
If you do find indicators of dents on your vehicle, it is not a big deal! Dynamic Dent is here to make your vehicle like new. One of the largest benefits to repairing hail damage, in addition to general aesthetics, is resale value. Our Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) system can repair any dent related damage on your vehicle. PDR repairs tend to be quicker than your average body shop, and unlike a body shop, PDR does not harm your vehicle’s finish.
