How We Work

Every Dent, Found and Measured

Hail damage hides. A dent that disappears in a parking lot shows up instantly under a light bar at the right angle. Before any repair begins we map the panel — marking each impact, sizing it against a gauge, and photographing what we find. That documentation is what the estimate is built on, and it’s what we submit when an insurer’s first number comes in low.

Mapping the Panel

Every impact circled and the damaged zone outlined before a single tool comes out.

Sizing Each Impact

Calibrated gauge chips put the dent size on record — a measurement, not a guess.

Scale You Can See

A coin beside the damage gives any reviewer an instant sense of dent size.

Nowhere to Hide

Dark paint is the hardest to read. The light bar and gauge make the damage undeniable.

Edges and Body Lines

Dents near a crease or mount need different tooling. We flag those during inspection, not mid-repair.

Read by Hand

Some damage is easier to feel than to see. Fingertips confirm what the light bar suggests.
