The weather in Sioux falls seemed to be amazing! It was sunny for the better part of the day and then BOOM!
You’re hit with a hail storm.
You look outside with sights of desperation to check if your car is parked safely, but – no, it’s not. In fact, you can even see the hail damage starting to happen. You’re hearing all kinds of dents piling up on your car, and all you can do is sit and watch.
You continue to see hail the size of a golf ball attack your car mercilessly, as you sit there, confused, thinking of your next step.
Now what?
Well – we handle situations like these every day. This is when you give a call to Sioux Falls Dent Repair. We’ll immediately get you an appointment so we can help you in your time of need.
But why would anyone need a paintless dent repair (PDR) anyway? You’ll be surprised! As it turns out – there are various advantages to getting a PDR on a hail damaged car.
Benefits you weren’t even aware of!
Keep on reading to know these advantages and let us take care of the rest!
The Benefits of PDR
Repairing Hail Damage in a Cost-Effective Way
Paintless dent repair (PDR) is a lot more cost-effective than a normal dent repair that you can get with paint. Apart from the service cost being lower than painting your car, PDR also helps you save the paint of your car. Always remember, the original paint done by the manufacturer always has the best coat, and it is also the strongest!
Try not to remove that paint!
PDR Is Faster!
Compared to painting cars carefully, PDR can be a lot faster! Depending on the damage your vehicle has sustained, it may take only a few hours! If the hail-storm was a big storm and many cars were damaged – you might have to wait weeks for regular hail repair. That is why we recommend going for PDR!
PDR Is Environmentally Friendly
The paints that are used on cars can be highly toxic fumes. These fumes can cause lung damage. They also release dangerous toxins that become a part of our environment that can harm animals, too. Since there is no paint involved in the PDR process, your footprint on the environment will be minimal!
You also won’t have to worry about polluting breath-taking Sioux Falls!
Retaining Value
A traditional dent repair will make use of different kinds of materials. These materials can be body fillers and paint that will be used on damaged areas. The use of these extra materials on your car’s body can reduce the value of the car.
On the other hand, PDR will help you maintain your car’s value. If you leave your car to a skilled technician, they will rectify the hail-damages your car sustained by using exclusive PDR procedures and tools. Because of their skill and the PDR method, the original factory look of the car won’t be altered. You’ll also be free of any concerns related to color differences or over spraying.

Insurance Coverage
Do you have the proper insurance for hail damage coverage?
Do you have “full” Coverage? If so you are good to go. What exactly is “full coverage” insurance? Full coverage insurance covers all the bases for vehicle repairs. There are 3 parts to insurance for full coverage.
Collision Insurance
This insurance covers if you were to hit someone or if someone hits you. In South Dakota you must have un-insurance motorist insurance and this will help you in the case of you getting hit by someone without insurance. This has other policies that are all lumped together.
Comprehensive Insurance
This insurance type is what you need to cover hail damage. This covers any natural causes such as storm damage, trees falling, falling snow off of a roof for instance. It also covers if you were to hit an animal like a deer for example.
Liability Insurance
This is for all medical bills whether it be you, a passenger or another motorist. This is the insurance that covers all of those unfortunate injuries from a collision.
I have Comprehensive Coverage and Hail Damage, Now What?
Your First Step
First off if you were caught in the storm and in the vehicle we hope everything is ok. It can be a very terrifying experience when hail comes pounding down on your vehicle and you and your family are inside the car. Once the storm stops be sure to contact your insurance company and let them know you have hail damage. From there they will give you a claim number.
Step Two
Once you have the claim number you just need to bring the vehicle to the shop of your choice and have them handle it from there.
Your insurance company has NO SAY in who is to repair your car, again, this is very important and often misunderstood. Your insurance company has no say in who can repair you vehicle.
There is no need to get multiple estimates or anything like that. Ultimately the full repair costs will be gone over between the shop fixing the car and your insurance company. After the shop and your insurance company have finished all of the paperwork and processing your vehicle repairs will then begin. If you are working with us you will get daily updates on any of the processing and repairs.
Step Three
Pickup your vehicle dent free! Its that simple. We are here to make this very inconvenient experience all better and make your hail damage problems go away.

Today Jack Bucknell our ARC Master Hail Certified technician at Sioux Falls Dent Repair will be discussing hail damage estimating. This was a Facebook Live video for hail damage estimating. We are a professional auto hail damage repair company located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. We have recently had a ton of hail damage repair claims from around the area including the other side of the state in the Black Hills, Rapid City and Spearfish.

Should I submit my own photos and videos to my insurance?
No, while your insurance company will need photo documentation in order to process your claim.

A professional with these conditions will be able to write a much more accurate assessment of your vehicles damage.
