Every year, storms leave thousands of vehicles with dents, broken glass, and water damage. While Comeback Auto Assist is here to help after the storm, prevention is always the best first move. Here are seven smart ways to protect your car before the next hailstorm, thunderstorm, or flood hits.
A garage is the most effective shield against hail and falling debris. If you don’t have one at home, consider covered parking at work or public structures when storms are in the forecast.
These padded, weather-resistant covers are designed to absorb hail impacts and protect your roof, hood, and trunk. They’re a great investment if your car is parked outdoors regularly.
During windstorms, branches or power lines can snap and fall on your vehicle. Choose open areas or spots away from anything that could collapse or fly loose.
Early warning is key. Apps like AccuWeather, WeatherBug, or your local news can give you a heads-up to move your car or take protective measures before a storm arrives.
Damaged door and window seals allow water into your vehicle, causing interior damage, mold, and electrical issues. Regularly check for gaps, cracks, or worn rubber—and replace as needed.
If flooding is a concern in your area, avoid parking at the bottom of hills or in low-lying areas. Water damage can destroy your engine, wiring, and cabin faster than you think.
Even the best prevention isn’t storm-proof. When damage happens, fast, reliable service matters. Comeback Auto Assist specializes in quick, expert hail and collision repairs and works with all major insurance providers to make the process seamless.
You can’t control the weather—but you can take steps to reduce the risk. Use these tips to protect your vehicle before the storm hits. And when the unexpected happens, trust Comeback Auto Assist to restore your car with speed and precision.
