After a hailstorm, vehicle owners often find themselves overwhelmed—not just by the damage, but by the questions. At Comeback Auto Assist, we’ve helped hundreds of customers navigate the hail repair process. Here are answers to the most frequently asked questions to help you feel confident and informed every step of the way.

1. How do I know if my car has hail damage?

Hail dents can be subtle. You might notice:

  • Small, round dents on the hood, roof, or trunk
  • Cracked or chipped paint
  • Broken or chipped glass

We recommend scheduling a professional inspection to catch damage you might not see at first glance.

2. Is hail damage covered by my insurance?

Yes—if you have comprehensive coverage, hail damage is usually covered (minus your deductible). It’s considered a non-collision event and typically doesn’t raise your premium.

3. Do I have to use the repair shop my insurance recommends?

No. You have the legal right to choose your own repair provider. Comeback Auto Assist works with all major insurance companies and ensures top-quality results.

4. What is Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)?

PDR is a method of removing dents without sanding, painting, or fillers. It’s ideal for hail damage where the paint is still intact. It:

  • Preserves your factory finish
  • Is faster and more affordable
  • Can often be completed in 1–3 days

5. How long will repairs take?

It depends on the damage:

  • Light hail damage (PDR): 1–3 days
  • Moderate to severe damage: 3–10 days depending on parts and paintwork

We’ll give you a clear timeline after inspection.

6. How much will I have to pay out of pocket?

Just your insurance deductible, if applicable. If the damage is minor and below your deductible, we’ll provide a competitive out-of-pocket estimate.

7. Will hail damage affect my car’s value?

Yes—if left unrepaired, it can significantly lower your resale or trade-in value. That’s why repairing it promptly with a trusted provider like Comeback Auto Assist is so important.

8. What if there’s more damage than I thought?

We perform a full inspection and handle supplemental claims with your insurer if hidden damage is found during the repair process. You won’t be left in the dark.

Hail damage can be stressful—but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you’re filing a claim, looking for fast repair, or just unsure where to start, Comeback Auto Assist has the experience and answers you need.
