After a fierce storm, the first look at the roof is often a shock: the metal peppered with little dents. The good news is that this is exactly where PDR shows its greatest strength, because countless hail dents almost always sit in undamaged paint. Instead of extensive filling and respraying, the expert reshapes each dent from behind, so the factory original paint stays 100 % intact. This not only protects your vehicle's value but usually makes the repair an insurance matter – most often without any loss of your no-claims discount.

Your benefits
Ideal for hail
Many small dents in intact paint – exactly the damage PDR was made for.
Original paint stays
No sanding, no filler, no respraying – the value retention stays demonstrable.
Covered by insurance
Hail damage is usually a comprehensive claim – typically with no loss of your no-claims discount.
Even whole fleets
After a storm we reliably handle large numbers of vehicles and fleets too.
Why hail is the perfect case for PDR
Hail dents are typically round, shallow and spread across the upper panels – roof, bonnet, boot lid. The paint rarely cracks; the metal is merely pushed in. This is precisely the constellation that paintless dent repair can reverse without a trace. Where a body shop would have to fill and recoat, the expert returns the metal to its original shape to the millimetre.
Value retention instead of depreciation
If hail damage is repaired the classic way, it shows up at every later inspection and pushes down the resale value – the unbroken original paint is then gone. With PDR exactly this original condition is preserved. For you that means no colour mismatches, no resprayed parts, no argument for the next buyer to knock down the price. Your vehicle stays what it was before the storm.
Comprehensive cover & claims – we support you
Hail damage is usually covered by comprehensive insurance, and hail counts as a natural event – which generally means no loss of your no-claims discount. As a specialist workshop for dent removal we document the damage cleanly and support you in dealing with your insurer so the process runs smoothly. Exactly what your policy provides, the master will clarify with you – honestly and without empty promises.
Light hail damage? Especially worthwhile
Light hail damage on a car – just a handful of small dents – is often underestimated. Yet shallow, small hail dents are particularly clean and quick to work out, often the same day. Don't put it off: even a few dents diminish the impression and the value. A quick assessment from a photo costs you nothing and brings clarity.
A master's hand, not an assembly line
With large-scale hail damage involving hundreds of dents, experience makes the difference. Each dent is assessed individually, the right tool applied from behind, and the metal coaxed back in fine steps. This patience and the trained eye of a dent-removal expert are the difference between a decent and an invisible result. In borderline cases – such as dents on a seam or damaged paint – we tell you honestly what is possible and what is not.

FAQ
Can every hail damage on a car be repaired?+
As long as the paint is intact – which is usually the case with hail – the hail damage can be repaired with PDR without a trace. With cracked paint, sharp creases or dents right on a seam, the method reaches its limits. The master assesses this honestly from your photos and tells you clearly what is feasible.
Does comprehensive insurance pay for my hail damage?+
As a natural event, hail damage is generally covered by comprehensive insurance – usually without affecting your no-claims discount. What your specific policy provides depends on your contract. We document the damage cleanly and support you with the insurance process.
Is repair worthwhile for light hail damage?+
Light hail damage is especially worth repairing because small, shallow dents work out particularly cleanly and quickly. Even a few dents reduce the impression and resale value. A no-obligation assessment from a photo quickly gives you clarity.
How long does it take to repair hail damage?+
That depends on the number and location of dents. Light cases are often done the same day; with extensive hail and many dents the master plans more time accordingly. After reviewing your photos we give you a realistic timeframe.
What does repairing my hail damage cost?+
We deliberately offer no flat price or online calculator – every hail damage is different. The master assesses the damage from your photos and calls you back with an honest evaluation. For an insurance case we also clarify the claims process with your insurer.
Can you also repair multiple vehicles after a storm?+
Yes. After a hailstorm we handle large numbers of vehicles and entire fleets. For fleets, contact us directly – we organise the repair so your vehicles are back in service on a predictable schedule. We are here for you in Backnang and Stuttgart / Rems-Murr.
