| Quick facts | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cost range | Small dent repair: $125–$250 per dent. Hail with 6–20 dents: $500–$1,500. |
| Time | Single coin-size ding: 30–90 minutes. Larger hail jobs: 1–3 days or more. |
| Who's qualified | Ask for proof of insurance, relevant certifications (e.g., ASE for auto repair), and any license your state or city requires. |
What should I do today after hail hits my car?
Photograph every dent and the paint before anything else. Check whether the paint is cracked or chipped, since paintless dent repair works best when the paint is intact and the metal can still flex. Then contact a local pro for a same-day visit, which avoids a shop trip entirely.
Can a mobile technician visit my Papillion home today?
Mobile paintless dent repair is set up so a technician arrives in a fully equipped van at your driveway or office. Same-day service is most realistic for small-to-moderate dents on intact paint. Storm activity can delay outdoor work, so confirm timing when you book.
What should I check before hiring a repairer?
Ask for a written estimate before authorizing any work. Ask for before-and-after photos of prior hail jobs. Verify NAPDRT certification or manufacturer-specific training for the technician.
Does my vehicle need special checks for aluminum panels?
Vehicles with aluminum body panels need a repairer certified for aluminum. A steel-only shop can damage those panels. Ask the pro to confirm this before the repair starts.
What to do next
- Photograph each dent and check the paint for cracks or chips, since intact paint is required for paintless repair.
- Ask the pro for a written estimate before authorizing any work.
- Ask for proof of insurance and NAPDRT certification or manufacturer-specific training.
- If your vehicle has aluminum panels, confirm the technician is certified for aluminum repair.
