What to Do Immediately After a Hail Storm Hits Your Car

A Moncton Driver’s Guide to Hail Recovery.

We’ve seen it happen in an instant: the sky turns grey, the wind picks up, and suddenly, your car is being pelted by ice. Once the storm passes, the sight of a "dimpled" hood can be heartbreaking.

Here is your 3-step recovery plan:

1. Don’t Panic (and don’t DIY): You might see "hacks" online involving dry ice or hair dryers. These often cause more damage to the metal and paint. Leave it to the pros.

2. Document the Damage: Take photos in "flat" lighting (like an overcast day) so the shadows don't hide the dents.

3. Call Your Insurance & Precision PDR: Many people don't realize they have a choice in where their car is repaired. Tell your insurance provider you want to use Paintless Dent Repair. It’s the preferred method for insurers because it’s fast and keeps the vehicle’s value high.

Our Catastrophe Response team specializes in these high-pressure situations. We’ll get your car back to pre-storm condition before you know it.
