What to Look For After a Hail Storm

Spring is approaching. Hail Season. Are you ready? 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 is 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. Start here:

Glass

First, check the glass on your vehicle. Check for broken, chipped, or cracked glass. Look over your windshield, then thoroughly look over your side and back windows as well. Cracked glass could shatter while the car is in motion, making it a safety hazard to you and your passengers. Cracked glass could also impair your vision while driving.

Dents

Next, check the body of your vehicle for dents. You will want to be sure to check the entire body. Hail can hit the ground and ricochet toward your vehicle, hitting it much lower than a direct hit probably would have. Dents from hail can literally be anywhere on your vehicle, but specifically check the trunk, hood, door jambs, and sides. Hail produces dents in all shapes and sizes, big and small, so if there is a dent on your vehicle it could be from a recent hail storm.

Mirrors

Finally, to thoroughly inspect for hail damage, check the side mirrors. Are they still there? If they aren’t (but they were earlier in the day), I’d safe it’s a safe bet that 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 any damage. Make sure they are still attached with no signs of potential failure. You use your mirrors to access your surroundings while driving. If your mirrors are damaged you run the risk of them falling off while driving, putting yourself and others at risk.

If you do find indicators of dents on your vehicle, don’t sweat it! 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, family operated, and we will repair your hail damaged car with our simple process with guaranteed results. Contact us at the first sight of hail damage to start the claims process with your insurance. We look forward to getting your vehicle back to its former glory!

Clever Solutions to Protect From Hail Damage

We all know that inevitably a hail storm will find its way to North Texas. Thankfully, if you keep up with the weather, you generally get a heads up about severe weather heading this way. It is important to prepare and have a plan already in place so you know what to do when you hear that a potential hail storm is approaching. When you know that is is on its way, you have a plan and time to implement it. 

Personal Garage

The most obvious location to protect your vehicle, and for sure the best and easiest, is 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 another vehicle. 

Blankets

In that case you might want to leave your vehicle on your driveway or the street covered in blankets. Search your house for as many blankets and towels as you can then cover your vehicle with them and use duct tape to secure. Be sure not to put the duct tape directly onto your vehicle. Duct tape could leave behind unwanted tape residue in unwanted places, damaging the aesthetics of your vehicle. The blankets should take the brunt of the hail and protect your car from dents. An alternative to blankets could be purchasing and utilizing a car cover. 

Covered Public Parking

Your next line of defense is going to be covered public parking. While you are driving around go ahead and take note of local covered parking. Maybe there is a parking garage at a shopping mall or an office space. When a storm is fast approaching and you don’t have a garage at home that will work, you will know exactly where you should take your vehicle. However, if you are out and about and don’t have time to locate covered parking, an overpass or gas station canopy will provide some protection in a pinch. 

Large Buildings

Finally, as a last resort, keep an eye on the radar and note 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. 

However, if you find you didn’t have time to formulate a plan and now have a vehicle that sustained damage, don’t worry! Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, is here to help. Contact us immediately to start the claims process with your insurance! 

Big Storm? How to Access for Hail Damage

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.
