Hail Damage? Here's Where to Look

Unfortunately, hail storms are a normal part of living in North Texas. At Dynamic Dent Auto Hail Solutions, located in Lewisville, Texas, we know that while it is important to do what you can to protect your vehicle from hail damage, sometimes it’s just not possible. Once the storm has passed, it is important to do a thorough inspection of  your vehicle to access for any damage. But do you know what to look for? 

Dents

Of course the first thing to look for when inspecting your vehicle for hail damage is dents. You will want to check the entire body. Dents from hail can be anywhere on your vehicle, but specifically check the trunk, hood, door jambs, and sides. Hail produces dents in all sizes, big and small, so if there s a dent on your vehicle it could be from the recent hail storm. 

Glass

Next, look over the glass on your vehicle. Check for broken, chipped, or cracked glass. Check your windshield, then check your side and back windows as well. Cracked glass could impair your vision while driving. Also, if it is cracked enough, it could shatter while you are driving down the road, making it a safety hazard to you and your passengers. 

Mirrors

Finally, check your side mirrors. Are they still there, or did the hail knock them off? IF they are still there check their joints. Just because the hail didn’t knock them off initially does not mean they won’t come off at the next bump you take. Just because a mirror is attached does not mean it has not taken on damage. Make sure they are still properly attached with no signed of potential failure. You use your mirrors to access your surroundings while driving. If your mirrors are damaged you are putting yourself and others at risk. 

If you do thoroughly inspect your vehicle and have found indicators of dents, it’s not a big deal! Dynamic Dent is here to make your vehicle like new. One of the largest benefits to repairing hail damage, in addition to general aesthetics, is resale value. Our Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) system can repair any dent related damage on your vehicle. PDR repairs tend to be quicker than your average body shop, and unlike a body shop, PDR does not harm your vehicle’s finish.
