Hail repair starts by mapping the damage across the vehicle.
A dent can look simple from the outside and still be difficult behind the panel. Sean checks the paint, depth, body lines, panel material, and tool access before recommending PDR.
Common repair situations
- Roof and hood hail dents
- Multiple shallow impacts across one panel
- Mixed dent sizes that need individual attention
- Panels with intact paint and workable access
What Sean checks first
Send one photo of the full panel and a few close angles that catch the dent in reflected light. Sean can usually tell whether the next step is a shop inspection.

Questions customers ask
Can hail damage be estimated from one photo?
Photos can start the conversation, but multiple angles or an in-person inspection may be needed to understand the full pattern.
Does PDR keep the factory paint?
That is the goal when the paint is intact and PDR is the right repair for each panel.
Should I send photos of every panel?
Send a wide photo of each affected panel plus closer views where the reflection shows the damage.
