Dents that have cracked the paint, sharp impacts that pierced the metal, or dents on rigid panel edges may require traditional bodywork.Yes. Hail damage is cosmetic in most cases and your vehicle is safe to drive. We recommend photographing the damage and filing your insurance claim promptly, then scheduling your repair.We will review the estimate and if we find additional damage, we submit a supplement directly to your insurer on your behalf.
