Common Reasons Your Vehicle is Dented

There is always a chance your vehicle could collide with something and come away with a dent. You may just be minding your own business at work, or shopping, and when you get back to your vehicle you discover something has hit it. If you know what you should be aware of and looking for, maybe we can help minimize your vehicle dent chances: 

Recreational Equipment

Unfortunately, recreational equipment can hit your vehicle even while it is parked in your own driveway. Many families and kids are spending more time outside while it is sunny and warm. You may even find yourself and your family outside enjoying some recreational activities while the weather is warm. As you, your kids, a neighbor, or people at a park throws or kicks a ball there is always a chance is misses its target and hits a vehicle instead. All it takes is one bad throw or kick, and now your vehicle has a dent. 

Automatic Car Washes

Automatic car washes are a great and convenient tool that you can utilize to get your vehicle clean. However, sometimes they leave unwanted dents on your vehicle. While your vehicle is on the conveyor belt it can be bumped, leaving and unwanted dent. 

Car Doors

Almost anytime your vehicle is parked it is susceptible to other vehicles. It could be parked in your own driveway, on the street, or a parking lot. All it takes it someone pulling up next to your vehicle, not really paying attention, and when they swing their door open, to get in or out, it hits your vehicle and causes a dent. 

Shopping Carts

When you go to park at a store, you often look for a location that is not near any free range shopping carts. However, someone could leave a shopping cart unattended near your vehicle while you are unaware and blissfully enjoying your time in the store. Ideally, shoppers would take their carts back to their proper location, but that is not always the case. 

Distracted Driving

Teenage drivers are always a concern, but really anyone could be a distracted driver. You may be talking on the phone or to someone in the backseat, and you just aren’t fully paying attention. You, or another distracted driver, may accidentally collide with another vehicle resulting in dents to both of your vehicles. 

Human Error

Let’s just be honest, sometimes we are our own worst nightmares. Maybe we accidentally pulled up too far in a parking space, parked too close to a curb, or took a speed bump a little too quickly. Any of these could result in a dent to your vehicle. 

So, while dents inevitably will show up on your vehicle, do not worry! Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, is here to assist you every step of the way. With our Paintless Dent Repair system we can repair any dent that comes your way! Contact us immediately to start the claims process with your insurance. 

Where did the Dent come from?

Unfortunately, it happens. We’ve all been there. You walk up to your vehicle after work, or a day of shopping, and it’s there. A dent. Where did it come from? It wasn’t there when you left. What happened? Sadly this happens more often than we would like. Dents come in all shapes and sizes. So, let’s examine the dent. Commonly, you will find one of the following types: 

Creased Dents

A creased dent shows itself by forming a straight line at the bottom of the dent. Creased dents usually occur when something brushes up and drags against the side of your vehicle. For example, a tree branch, bicycle, another vehicle, trailer, etc. 

Sharp Dents

A sharp dent usually occurs when something small hits your vehicle with a strong impact. Maybe the wind picked something up and blew it into the side of your vehicle. Perhaps it was another vehicle’s door. Maybe it was a rouge shopping cart blows into your vehicle in the parking lot. When the windblown object hits your vehicle, a sharp dent is usually formed. Due to the metal being stretched outwards, sharp dents tend to leave a high spot with a deep “valley”. 

Extreme Dents

You would probably know what happened if your vehicle had an extreme dent. Extreme dents usually occur when your vehicle has a collision with something else large and at a much faster speed. Maybe another vehicle ran into yours, or maybe your vehicle ran into a mailbox or tree. Extreme dents can even occur just be a person leaning up against the vehicle. However large and intimidating, extreme dents can be, with proper tools and expertise, fully restored. 

So, if you approach your vehicle after a long day and discover a new dent, now you know how to examine and make an educated guess about where it came from.

What to Look for While Driving this Summer

Any time you are out and about, there is a chance your vehicle could collide with something and come away with a dent.

We are entering the summer months where teenagers are more frequently on the roads, but really anyone could be a distracted driver.

How to Keep You and Your Vehicle Safe Through the Lazy Days of Summer

It is starting to get warmer outside here in North Texas which only means one thing… summer is approaching. We often get excited about spending our days being a little lazier and slower paced, however, that is not the best approach when it comes to our vehicles. The heat and laziness of summer brings on a whole new host of driving hazards: 

Teen Drivers

First, school is out and curfews are not as strictly enforced, so more teen drivers are out on the roads. Teens just aren’t that experienced and are still testing the waters when it comes to driving. They also tend to rely more heavily on their phones. It is extremely important for parents to speak to and teach their kids about the dangers of using your phone while driving. Also, enforce the curfews! By limiting the amount of time teens spend on the road (especially at night) makes the roads safer for everyone. 

People

The warmer weather continues to bring more and more people outside to soak up some sun. Look around and be aware of bikers, walkers, and children playing. Bikers need at least 3 feet of clearance. Check, and then double check, for walkers when you are turning and changing lanes. Be extra vigilant as you drive through neighborhoods as children may be outside playing. 

Tire Blowouts

The risk of having a tire blowout increases in the summer due to an increase in potholes and temperatures. Winter tends to do a number on roads so potholes increase. Hot temperatures cause the air in your tires to expand which increases the risk of a tire blowout. Thus, driving over a pothole (and other hazards) could blow your tire. Check your tire pressure often and make sure you have a spare just in case. Having incorrect tire pressure also reduces your gas mileage, so be sure to check frequently. 

Overheating Engine

The heat of the summer (especially North Texas summers) can directly affect your vehicle’s engine. If your engine does happen to overheat it could breakdown or even cause a fire. This poses a risk to you and other drivers on the road. Be sure to check your engine coolant levels frequently, make sure your air conditioning is working, and get your oil changed. If your engine does happen to overheat, pull over and immediately call for help. 

If you do happen to find yourself with a dented vehicle (by your own fault or not), do not fret! At Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, we can help! 

With our Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) system, we can repair any dent on your vehicle. By repairing your vehicle with PDR you save time and your vehicle’s finish will not be harmed. Dynamic Dent offers premiere service made simple and convenient with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and lifetime warranty on all repairs.

Spring is Coming! Here's How to Avoid Denting Your Vehicle

It’s almost March! Can you believe it? The weather is finally starting to warm up in North Texas. This means winter is on its way out and spring is almost here! Of course, spring brings its own set of road hazards for vehicles. As we continue to ride out the last of the winter weather spells it is important for us to be aware of the road hazards spring can, and will, bring. 

Spring Showers

If you have lived in North Texas for long you know how prone we are to spring showers. Rain makes roadways slippery and reduces the traction on your vehicle’s tires. Make sure you drive slowly and keep up with your tire maintenance; this will make a big difference while driving on slick roads. 

People

The weather is warming up, so more and more people are going to start venturing outside. More people will be walking, exercising, and biking, so there is an added danger of pedestrians cutting in front of you or getting in your way. Be extra aware near parks or where there may be children. 

Animals

As people start to venture out more, so are animals and other wildlife. As you are driving, be aware, many animals are starting to scavenge for food and look for mates. They may end up in the middle of the road, so stay vigilant to avoid hitting any of these critters. 

Hail 

Hail is another, and probably the most destructive, component to our North Texas spring storms. Hail can shatter windshields and leave dents all over the body of your vehicle making it hazardous for you and your passengers. The best thing you can do in a hail storm is to be in a building, not your vehicle. To protect your vehicle from hail you should park it in a garage, covered public parking, beside a large building (on the opposite side of the storm’s direction), or cover your vehicle with old blankets. 

Winter Roads

And last, but certainly not least, winter weather can wreak havoc on roadways, especially the ice we have had recently. Keep an eye out for any new potholes, or unevenness that could have been created since the fall season. Potholes can lead to a slew of damages to your vehicle, including poor alignment, suspension damage, bents rims, and more. Avoid if you can. 

However, if you do find yourself in an accident or storm that has left your vehicle dented, call us at Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas. 

With our Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) system, we can repair any dent on your vehicle. By repairing your vehicle with PDR you save time and your vehicle’s finish will not be harmed.

What You Should Look For in a Vehicle Dent

Here we go, 2022! Let's Live Dent-Free!

Whew! We made it! So long, 2021! Here we go, 2022! We know this is the time of year people are often making goals and predictions for the new year. Well, we have a goal for you: be dent-free! Unfortunately, you may have had a collision or fender bender involving your vehicle. However, you have no reason to worry. Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, is here to sort it out and help you be on your way to dent-free living! 

Dynamic Dent is your go-to repair shop for collision and hail damaged vehicles. We use the process of Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) to repair any dent related damage on your vehicle. 

Has a hail storm recently come through? Slid on ice? Did you recently endure a fender bender? Maybe a shopping cart rolled into your vehicle. Our PDR technicians are highly trained. They will use a unique set of tools that are specifically designed to access dents from the backside of the metal panel. After they access the panel, the technician will slowly massage and push to reshape the dent and restore it to its pre-damaged condition. 

No matter how big or small the dent is, if the work is done by an expert, it can be restored entirely. The process of PDR in no way harms your vehicle’s factory finish, maintaining your vehicle’s value. PDR is also usually much quicker than a typical body repair shop, getting you on your way faster without compromising quality of work. 

When you get your vehicle repaired the traditional way, the workers simply fix the dent then paint over it. This lowers the overall value of your vehicle. Generally, service costs are lower with PDR, and the value of your vehicle is maintained because the original paint job remains intact. Since the process of PDR is relatively quick, you save time and it minimally disrupts your daily routine. 

When traditional dent removal methods are utilized, paint thinner, paint, body filler, and other materials are used. PDR does not require any of that. This drastically reduces the amount of toxins workers are exposed to, and it lowers the toxins released into the environment, making PDR more environmentally friendly. 

Dynamic Dent is locally owned and family operated, and we work with all insurance companies. A rental car will be provided by your insurance, or us, at no cost. Repairs are guaranteed to be fully covered by your insurance, no out of pocket cost on approved claims with discounts, your insurance rates will not increase for a hail damage claim, and hail repairs are not reported to CarFax. 

Dynamic Dent offers premiere service made simple and convenient with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and lifetime warranty on all repairs. Contact us immediately to start the claims process with your insurance! We look forward to working with you to make 2022 a dent-free year! 

Is Your Vehicle Ready for Winter?

We’ve had a few bouts of cooler weather in North Texas, but we all know there is more coming. Temperatures don’t usually drop below freezing, but at Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, we know it is important to stay weather aware and take necessary precautions to protect yourself and your vehicle. If, or when, the more severe winter weather makes its way into our area, make sure you have a plan and follow precautions to reduce the risk of denting your vehicle. 

Shovel that Snow

If you have any snow on your vehicle when you go to leave your location it is best to push off any excess. Snow will gradually gather and accumulate. Large pieces of ice can be sharp and could severely damage your vehicle. Pushing off any excess snow or ice (if you can) will help lower the change of damage. 

Check Tire Treads

Even when it is warm outside you should be checking your tire tread. However, it is extremely important in the winter months. You need to be sure you check them BEFORE winter weather hits. In the event of icy roads, bad treads on tires will lesson the traction your vehicle has on the road and will increase your chances of slipping and crashing into barriers. 

Turn on Fog Lights

When fog inevitably settles in be sure to turn on your vehicle’s fog, or low, lights. This might seem like common sense, however, if you do not turn them on other drivers will not be able to see you or you may not be able to see the other drivers. This could cause an unfortunate and catastrophic collision. 

Be Aware

When you go to leave somewhere in your vehicle you should already have a plan. Be sure to plan your route before leaving your current location. When the weather is freezing, usually at night, ice can build up. Deciding on a plan for your route before you get in your vehicle will allow you to pre-access the roads and find out which ones are clear and which ones could have ice. This will prevent you from slipping on the icy roads and causing damage to your vehicle or self. 

Unfortunately, even with the most weather aware and careful drivers, accidents still happen. At Dynamic Dent we are fix you up in a breeze! We offer premiere service made simple and convenient with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and lifetime warranty on all repairs. Repairs are guaranteed to be fully covered by your insurance, no out of pocket cost on approved claims with discounts, your insurance rates will not increase for a hail damage claim, and hail repairs are not reported to CarFax. So, if you find yourself with a dented vehicle, do not panic. Dynamic Dent is here for you! Contact us immediately to start the claims process with your insurance. 

Hail Damage? Here's Where to Look

Unfortunately, hail storms are a normal part of living in North Texas. At Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, we know that while it is important to do what you can to protect your vehicle from hail damage, sometimes it’s just not possible. Once the storm has passed, it is important to do a thorough inspection of  your vehicle to access for any damage. But do you know what to look for? 

Dents

Of course the first thing to look for when inspecting your vehicle for hail damage is dents. You will want 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 s a dent on your vehicle it could be from the recent hail storm. 

Glass

Next, look over 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 enough, it could shatter while you are driving down the road, making it a safety hazard to you and your passengers. 

Mirrors

Finally, check your side mirrors. Are they still there, or did the hail knock them off? IF they are still there check their joints. Just because the hail didn’t knock them off initially does not mean they won’t come off at the next bump you take. Just because a mirror is attached does not mean it has not taken on damage. Make sure they are still properly attached with no signed of potential failure. You use your mirrors to access your surroundings while driving. If your mirrors are damaged you are putting yourself and others at risk. 

If you do thoroughly inspect your vehicle and have found indicators of dents, it’s 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. 

Dynamic Dent is locally owned and family operated, and we work with all companies. If you choose to work with us, a rental car will be provided by your insurance, or us, at no cost. Repairs are guaranteed to be fully covered by your insurance, no out of pocket cost on approved claims with discounts, your insurance rates will not increase for a hail damage claim, and hail damage repairs are not reported to CarFax.

6 Common Causes of Vehicle Dents

Inevitably, as some point your vehicle will end up with a dent, but do you know where that dent came from? If you know what to be aware of you may be able to avoid a few unwanted collisions. Most commonly, your vehicle is going to be dented by: 

Shopping Carts

When we go the store, we often look for a parking spot that is far away from any roaming shopping carts. However, someone could leave a shopping car unattended near your vehicle while you are unaware in the store. Slowly, the wind blows the shopping cart until it eventually comes into contact with your vehicle resulting in a dent or scratch. Ideally, shoppers would take their carts back to their proper location, but that does not always happen. 

Car Doors 

Another thing that could run into your vehicle is another vehicle’s door. You could be parked in your own driveway, on the street, or a parking lot, but your vehicle is always susceptible to other vehicles. The person parked next to you may not be paying attention, and when they swing their door open, to get in or out, it hits your vehicle and causes a dent. 

Automatic Car Washes

While automatic car washes are a convenient and nice way to get your vehicle clean, sometimes they can leave unwanted dents on your vehicle. While your vehicle is on the conveyor belt it can get bumped, leaving an unwanted dent. 

Distracted Driving

You may be talking on the phone or to someone in the back seat, and you just aren’t fully paying attention. It is easy to become distracted, and you, or another driver, may accidentally collide with another vehicle resulting in dents to your vehicle. 

Recreational Equipment

Unfortunately, recreational equipment can hit your vehicle even while it is parked in your driveway. Many families and kids are spending more time outside while the weather is warm and sunny. You may even find yourself and your family outside enjoying some recreational activities. As you, your kids, or a neighbor, throws or kicks a ball there is always a chance it misses its target and hits a vehicle instead. All it takes is one bad throw or kick, now your vehicle has a dent. 

Human Error

Often times we are our own worst enemies when it comes to denting our vehicles. Maybe we accidentally pull up too far in a parking space, parked too close to a curb, or took a speed bump a little too quickly. any of these could result in a dent for your vehicle. 

When the dents inevitably come, do not fear! Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, is here! We offer premiere service, made simple and convenient, with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and a lifetime warranty on all repairs.

How to Protect Your Vehicle from a Hail Storm

In North Texas we have our fair share of hail storms. If you have not experienced them yet, do not worry, they are coming. Get ready! It’s important to prepare far in advance and know what to do when the storm approaches. In order to protect your vehicles from hail you need to be proactive and know ahead of time what your options are. Then, when the storm approaching, you have a plan and can implement it. 

Garage

Obviously, the first place you think of when protecting your vehicle from hail is to park in your own garage or covered driveway. Your vehicle will be close by so you can keep an eye on it from the safety of your own home. However, this is not an option for everyone. You may not have a garage, or the space in your garage is already occupied and cannot accommodate your vehicle. 

Large Buildings

If you keep an eye on the weather and know what direction the storm is approaching from, park your vehicle on the opposite side of the building. For example, if the storm is approaching from the north, park on the south side. This may not shield your vehicle completely, but you are using the coverage of the large building to hopefully keep your vehicle safe from the worst part of the storm. If the wind is strong enough, the building may shield your vehicle from damage completely. 

Covered Public Parking

While you are driving around going about your everyday life, keep an eye out for covered local parking. When a storm is fast approaching and you don’t have a garage at home that will work, you will know exactly where to take your vehicle. Consider shopping centers or mall parking garages. However, if you do not have time to locate covered parking look for an overpass or gas station canopy instead. 

Blankets

As a last resort, locate as many blankets as you can. Cover your vehicle with them and use duct tape to secure them in place. Be careful not to put the tape directly on your vehicle. Duct tape could leave behind tape residue in unwanted places, damaging the aesthetics of your vehicle. An alternative to a blanket could be purchasing and utilizing a car cover. 

If you don’t have time to formulate a hail storm plan and find your vehicle has sustained damage, don’t worry! We have got you covered! Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, is here to help.

Maybe it was another vehicle’s door. Maybe it was a shopping cart in the parking lot. When the windblown object hits your vehicle, a sharp dent is usually formed. Due to the metal being stretched outwards, sharp dents usually leave a high spot with a deep “valley.” 

Extreme Dents

Extreme dents usually occur when your vehicle has a collision with something else large and at a much faster speed. You would probably know what happened if your vehicle has an extreme dent. Maybe another vehicle ran into yours, or your vehicle ran into a tree or mailbox. However, something extreme dents can occur just by a person leaning up against the vehicle.

Protecting Your Vehicle From the Days of Summer

When we think about summer we think about building sandcastles, enjoying melting popsicles, or lounging by the pool. We do not usually think about our vehicles. At Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, we know the heat and laziness of the summer season can bring on a whole new host of driving hazards: 

Teen Drivers

School is out and curfews aren’t as strictly enforced by parents. This leads to more teen drivers on the roads. Teens aren’t very experienced and are still testing the waters when it comes to driving. Teens also tend to rely more heavily on their phones. Parents, talk to your children about safe driving and keeping their phone put away. Also, enforce those curfews! Limiting the time teens spend on the road (especially at night) makes the roads safer for everyone. 

Overheating Engine

The heat of the summer can directly affect your vehicle’s engine. If your engine does happen to overheat it could breakdown or even cause a fire which poses a risk to you and other drivers on the road. Be sure to check your engine coolant levels frequently, make sure your air conditioning is working, and get your oil changed. If your engine does happen to overheat, pull over immediately and call for help. 

People

With the warmer weather comes more people getting outside to enjoy some sun. Look around and be aware of bikers, walkers, and children playing. Give bikers at least 3 feet of clearance. Check, and then double check, for walkers when you are turning and changing lanes. Be hyper vigilant as you are driving through neighborhoods for children outside playing. 

Vacationers 

As children are out of school and the weather is good, more people are taking off work to go on vacation with their families. This increases the amount of cars on the road which increases the risk of an accident. The risk of drowsy, intoxicated, or distracted drivers increases during the summer. Be sure you are not that driver. Stay hydrated, never drive after drinking, and avoid late night driving. 

Tire Blowout

The risk of having a tire blowout increases in the summer due to an increase in potholes and temperatures. Winter tends to do a number on roads and potholes are increases. Driving over a pothole could blow your tire. In addition, hot temperatures cause the air in your tires to expand which increases the risk of a tire blowout. Check your tire pressure often and make sure you have a spare just in case. Having incorrect tire pressure also reduces your gas mileage so be sure to check frequently.

Paintless Dent Repair Saves You Time and Money

Dents to your vehicle are going to happen. Make you have kids and they open the door too quickly some of the time and slam the vehicle’s door against something. Maybe a shopping cart rolled into your vehicle. Or maybe you were in a collision. 

At Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, we know that dents come in all shapes and sizes. No matter the reason for the dent, we want you to know that your vehicle is in good hands with our cutting-edge Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) technique to repair the dents. We specialize in outstanding customer service, quality work, and PDR. We’ll have your vehicle looking new again with little to no inconvenience to you. 

What is PDR? 

PDR is the process we use to repair dent related damage on your vehicle. To implement PDR, on of our highly trained technicians will use a unique set of tools designed to access the dent, or dents, from the backside of the meal panel. The technician will then slowly massage and push to reshape the dented panel and restore the area to its pre-damaged condition. 

Why is PDR better than other dent restoration methods? 

Thanks for asking! Let us tell you: 

1. Less Toxins

When it comes to traditional dent restoration methods a variety of material are used, such as paint thinner, paint, body filler, etc. PDR does not require any of that. PDR only uses the unique set of tools needed to access the dent from the backside and massage it back into shape. By utilizing PDR the amount of toxins released into the environment is lowered, and the amount of toxins workers are exposed to is drastically reduced. 

2. Any Dent Repaired

Due to the nature of PDR, PDR is able to repair all dents and dings. Through PDR’s ultimate restoration you can know that you vehicle is repaired back to its original strength. It does not matter how the dent first occurred. Over time, the dents we have repaired will not return, saving you time, money, and energy. 

3. Holds Value

When a traditional dent restoration method is utilized, the dent is repaired and then painted over. This lowers the overall value of your vehicle. In general, service costs are much lower with PDR, and the value of your vehicle is maintained because the original paint job is never messed with. 

4. Saved Time

At Dynamic Dent we could have your vehicle repaired in a matter of hours. PDR is a relatively quick process. This saves you time and allows minimal disruption to your everyday routine. 

Dynamic Dent is locally owned and operated. We offer premiere service made simple and convenient with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and lifetime warranty on all repairs. Contact us immediately to start with claims process with your insurance! 

Spring Showers Bring Road Hazards

The weather is starting to warm up in North Texas. That means winter is on the outs, and spring is almost here! Of course, spring brings its own set of hazards for vehicles on the road. As we finish out the winter season and head into spring (hail season) it is important for us to be aware of the hazards we can, and will, be facing. 

Winter Roads

Winter weather can wreak havoc on roadways, especially the ice and snow storm we had recently. Keep an eye out for any new potholes or unevenness that could have been created since the fall season. Potholes can lead to a slew of damages to your vehicle, including poor alignment, suspension damage, bent rims, and more. 

Spring Showers

If you have lived in North Texas for long you know are prone to spring showers. Rain makes roadways slippery and reduces your vehicle’s tire traction and handling. Make sure to drive slowly and keep up with your tire maintenance; this can make a big difference while driving on slick roads. 

People

The weather is warming up, people are starting to venture outside. More people are walking, exercising, and biking, so there is an added danger of pedestrians cutting in front of you or getting in your way. Be extra vigilant near parks or where they may be children. 

Animals 

As people are starting to get out more, so are animals and other wildlife. As you are driving, be aware, many animals are starting to scavenge for food and look for mates. They may end up in the middle of the road, so stay vigilant to avoid hitting any of these critters. 

Hail 

Hail is another, and probably the most damaging, component to our North Texas spring storms. Hail can shatter windshields and leave dents all over the body of your vehicle making it hazardous for you and your passengers. The best thing you can do in a hail storm is to be in a building, not your vehicle. To protect your vehicle from hail you should park it in a garage, covered public parking, beside a large building (on the opposite side from the storm’s direction), or cover your vehicle in old blankets. 

If you do find yourself in a storm or accident that has left your vehicle dented, call us at Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas. 

With out Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) system, we can repair any dent on your vehicle. By repairing your vehicle with PDR you save time and your vehicle’s finish will not be harmed.

How to Inspect for Vehicle Hail Damage

We are approaching spring in North Texas, this unfortunately means hail storms. While it is important to do what you can to protect your vehicle from hail damage, something it just is not possible. It is important to do a thorough inspection of your vehicles once the hail storm has passed to access for any damage. But what do you look for? 

Glass

Start be looking over 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 enough, it could shatter while you are driving down the road, making it a safety hazard to you and your passengers. 

Mirrors

Next, check your side mirrors. Are they still there, or did the hail knock them off? If they are still there check their joints. Just because the hail didn’t knock them off initially does not mean they won’t come off at the next bump you take. Just because a mirror is still attached does not mean it has not taken on damage. Make sure they are still properly attached with no signs of potential failure. You use your mirrors to access your surroundings while driving. If your mirrors are damaged you are putting yourself and others at risk. 

Dents

Finally, check the body of your vehicle for dents. 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 the recent hail storm. 

If you have thoroughly inspected your vehicle and have found indicators of dents, do not worry about it.

Why is My Vehicle Dented?

Even though many of us are spending more time than ever at home, our vehicles are almost always at risk of being dented, especially when we are out and about. However, if you know what to be aware of you may be able to avoid a few unwanted collisions. Most commonly, your vehicle is going to be dented by: 

Recreational Equipment

Unfortunately, recreational equipment can hit your vehicle even while it is parked in your driveway. Many families and kids are spending more time outside during this pandemic season. You may even find yourself and your family outside enjoying some recreational activities. As you, your kids, or a neighbor, throws or kicks a ball there is always a chance it misses its target and hits a vehicle instead. All it takes is one bad throw or kick, now your vehicle has a dent. 

Automatic Car Washes

While automatic car washes are a nice way to get a break from your house, and convenient, sometimes they can leave unwanted dents on your vehicle. While your vehicle is on the conveyor belt it can get bumped, leaving an unwanted dent. 

Shopping Carts

Often when we go to the store we look for a parking spot that is far away from any roaming shopping carts. However, someone could leave a shopping cart unattended near your vehicle while you are unaware in the store. Slowly, the wind blows the shopping cart and it eventually comes into contact with your vehicle resulting in a dent or scratch. Ideally, shoppers would take their carts back to their proper location, but that does not always happen. 

Car Doors

You could be parked in your own driveway, on the street, or a parking lot, but your vehicle is always susceptible to other vehicles. The person parked next to you may not be paying attention, and when they swing their door open, to get in or out, it hits your vehicle and cases a dent. 

Distracted Driving

You may be talking on the phone or to someone in the back seat, and you just aren’t fully paying attention. It is easy to become distracted, and you, or another driver, may accidentally collide with another vehicle resulting in dents to your vehicle. 

Human Error

Often times we are our own worst enemies when it comes to denting our vehicles. Maybe we accidentally pulled up too far in a parking space, parked too close to a curb, or took a speed bump too quickly. Any of these could result in a dent for your vehicle. 

However, there is no need to worry. However the dent occurred, Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, offers premiere service, made simple and convenient, with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and a lifetime warranty on all repairs. With our Paintless Dent Repair system we can repair any dent on your vehicle. Contact us immediately to start the claims process with your insurance! 

Winter Will Be Here Soon, Make Plans Today

At Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, winter is starting to show itself. While temperatures in Texas don’t usually drop below freezing, it’s important to stay weather aware and take the necessary precautions to protect yourself and your vehicle. If, or when, ice or snow find their way into our area, make a plan and follow precautions to reduce the risk of denting your vehicle.

Know Your Route

If you are leaving to go somewhere in your vehicle, you should already have a plan. Be sure to plan your route before leaving your current location. When the weather is freezing, usually at night, ice can build up. Deciding on a plan for your route before you get in your vehicle will allow you to access the roads and find out which ones are clear and which ones could have ice. This will prevent you from slipping on the ice roads and causing damage.

Fog Lights

When fog inevitably settles in be sure to turn on your vehicle’s fog, or low, lights. This may seem like common sense, however if you do not turn them on other drivers will not be able to see you, or you may not be able to see other drivers. This could cause an unfortunate collision.

Snow Removal

When you go to leave you location, if you have snow on your vehicle it is best to push off any excess. Snow will gather and accumulate. Large pieces of ice can be sharp and could severely damage your vehicle. Pushing off any excess will help to lower the chance of damage.

Tire Tread

Even in the warm months you should be checking your tire tread, however it is extremely important in the winter months. Be sure to check them BEFORE the winter weather hits. In the event of icy roads, bad treads on tires lessen the traction your vehicle has on the  road and will increase your chances of slipping and crashing into barriers

However, even with the most weather aware and careful drivers, accidents happen. At Dynamic Dent we are locally owned and family operated, and we work with all insurance companies. A rental car will be provided by your insurance, or us, at no cost.
