The Dent & Ding Surgeon’s Guide to Fort Collins Hail Repair

Does DIY Work?

Fixing the dent yourself sounds like a good idea to begin with. The work is free, you only need a few household items, and they’re just a couple of dents anyway; how hard can it be? In reality, paintless dent repair is a practice that is best left to the professionals. While the process itself is very simple, the execution requires years of experience, and a good deal of patience to get the job done right. Don’t let ‘off-the-shelf’ products that claim to remove dents effortlessly fool you. Most of these are no more than gimmicky knockoffs that will leave you with far worse than a few dents. We don’t recommend any DIY methods unless you yourself are a professional Fort Collins hail repair technician.

What to do Instead

1. Start your claim – The first step toward scheduling your Fort Collins hail repair should be to file a claim. Your insurance adjuster will likely schedule an assessment with you. Also, double check your insurance plan. You will want to make sure you have comprehensive coverage.
2. Request a quote – We recommend you ask for a few quotes from several different Fort Collins hail repair companies. Take pictures of the damage in good lighting from as many angles as you can. This will help us create an accurate estimate.
3. Pick your PDR shop – Take the time to make the right decision here. Bad repairs can harm your car far more than any dents can. Look for a shop that is transparent, and not afraid to show their experience. They should use quality tools, professional methods, and provide quality customer service.
4. Pay for repairs – Depending on your insurance, you will need to pay a deductible amount before any repairs can take place. You may also choose to have your insurance providers send you a check for the damage. Don’t pocket this instead of getting repairs. It will cost you resale value in the future.
