Traditional Auto-Body Repair?
Is Traditional body repair the right choice for your hail damage?
In most cases, the answer is a resounding NO. Due to the nature of hail damage, when a car is struck by tens; or hundreds of hail stones, the damage often covers the entire vehicle. This requires the Traditional Body-Shop to grind, weld, fill, and paint each individual dent. Or just replace the panel entirely. This leaves your vehicle a Frankenstein's monster. A mismatch of aftermarket and OEM panels, while also losing the un-paralleled durability and value of its original paint. This WILL devastate the trade-in and re-sale value of your vehicle.
