Hail Damage Repair to Your Car

What is hail damage and how to spot it on your car

Living in Northeast Ohio means that during the Spring months of March through June and even into July, our capricious weather can change drastically! This often includes hailstorms as the warm and cool weather fronts collide with each other. If your car unfortunately gets caught in a hailstorm the damage may be obvious depending on the size of the hail, but oftentimes if the hail is smaller you may not immediately notice the hail damage.

When the severe weather clears, take a closer look at your car for these common signs of hail damage:

  • Small dents or dings in the hood, doors, side panels or trunk. These dents or dings may not have damaged the paint but will have made a small indentation
  • Inspect your windshield, windows, and mirrors for chips and cracks
  • Look for water damage inside your vehicle
  • Inspect your mirrors, doors, and windows to evaluate if they are stuck or jammed

If you suspect you have hail damage to your car, you may be tempted to contact your insurance company first and file a claim. Keep in mind that if you have hail damage, there are probably hundreds or thousands of other vehicle owners who also may have hail damage and will be contacting your insurance company. You may be in for a long wait before an adjustor inspects your vehicle, and then offers their own estimate to repair the damage.

At Marksman Auto Body we recommend you get an estimate from an auto body repair shop that can handle hail damage to your vehicle. At Marksman, we offer free hail damage estimates, and we’ll work with your insurance company to make sure you get enough money to bring your car or vehicle back to its condition before the storm.

How To Choose the Best Auto Body Repair Shop

No one likes to deal with the aftermath of an auto accident. When you need auto body and collision repair services, it can be tempting to make a quick decision or simply go with the auto body shop that your insurance provider recommends. You need your car back and you are eager to get back into your daily routine. While there are numerous collision repair shops available, it’s important to keep a few things in mind to choose the best auto body repair shop for your needs and ensure a positive experience and top quality collision repair and service.

Independently Owned vs. Franchise Owned Collision Repair Facilities

There are large, nationwide auto body and collision repair shops in every major city and town across the United States, but you should also consider the independently owned repair facilities as well. Here at Marksman, we are independently and privately owned, and we feel what sets us apart from the larger franchises are our team members. Many of our auto body repair technicians have been with Marksman Auto Body for many years. Our team takes great pride in their work and are committed to complete customer satisfaction. We perform every repair as if it were for a family member. It’s not often that you will find that level of commitment and customer service from the nationwide auto body repair companies. Our goal is to provide our auto body repair technicians with the tools and training they need in a supportive environment with a culture of safety and quality so that they arrive to work feeling energized and go home feeling fulfilled.

Ask About the Warranty and the Insurance Companies They Work With

You may think that all auto body repair shops guarantee their work with an appropriate warranty, but not all warranties are equal. Be sure to get a copy of the body shop’s written warranty and understand what they offer.

It’s also important to ask the collision repair facility about the insurance providers for which they have a relationship. Our team at Marksman have excellent working relationships with all major insurance providers. We understand each providers’ requirements and what they need to see to understand and approve what is required for your repair.  From the time you drop your vehicle off at Marksman Auto Body, we communicate with your insurance provider as well as coordinating rental vehicles to make the stressful ordeal of getting your vehicle back to pre-loss condition as worry free as possible.  We take care of everything!

The Quality of the Auto Body Repair Facility Matters

When you are considering an auto body repair shop for your collision repair, the condition of the facility says a lot about how much the business cares about its work, its employees, and its customers. Is the building in good condition and clean? Is the area where the auto body repairs are done clean and organized? If the repair facility is dirty, cluttered, and disorganized, this might reflect the kind of auto body repair work you can expect the shop to do with your vehicle.

Here at Marksman Auto Body, we are proud of our facility and have invested significantly in keeping our building and auto body repair equipment modern and in great shape. Take our auto body shop tour on our website!
