No filler
Dents are worked out of the factory metal. We do not cover hail with body filler and a new coat of paint.

Hail Repair Team
You Only Get One Factory Finish
Paintless hail restoration for cars, trucks, and SUVs. We return panels to pre-storm condition without grinding, filler, or a respray—so the factory paint, structure, and safety design stay intact.
Factory finish
Hail repair that keeps the original paint
A vehicle leaves the factory with one finish. Once that paint is sanded and sprayed, it cannot be put back. Hail Repair Team uses paintless dent repair to massage hail strikes out of the metal from behind the panel whenever the paint is intact.
No respray
Keeping the original finish protects color match, clear coat, and the corrosion protection the manufacturer applied.
Safety first
Modern vehicles are a web of structure, sensors, and wiring. Careless repair can compromise the cabin that is meant to protect occupants.

Workmanship
National lifetime warranty
Hail Repair Team warrants the paintless hail repair we complete for as long as you own the vehicle. If a dent we repaired returns under normal use, bring it back and we will make it right. This is a workmanship warranty on our restoration—not a promise about future storms, glass, or unrelated body damage.
