Trying to fix your dents with a homemade solution you might have seen in an internet video is not only ineffective, but it can also make your dent worse, and in many circumstances, makes the dent unrepairable with paintless dent repair. Insurance companies have endorsed PDR as an effective method to repair dents for years, proving that paintless dent repair works.
No. Car insurance companies provide two types of insurance: comprehensive and collision. Collision insurance covers you when you’re in a motor vehicle accident, and depending on who’s at fault, may make your insurance go up.
Comprehensive insurance, on the other hand, covers vehicles from nature and other unforeseen circumstances. Your insurance rate does not increase when something like weather, which is unpreventable, damages your vehicle. In the case of hail, insurance companies cover this with all basic comprehensive plans, so you’ll always be covered for the unexpected.
The process is really most dependent on the insurance company and the amount of dents. Once everything has been cleared by your insurance provider, depending on the dents, the process can take between an hour and a full 2-3 days of work. Because each dent is different and affects each car differently, it’s best to get an estimate to get a better idea of the repair cost and timing.
Paintless dent repair gets the dents out without having to reapply paint. This prevents the headache of finding matching paint for your vehicle, which can be very difficult, if not impossible. In addition, replacing an entire part of a vehicle can also make your car look mismatched.

Yes, because if it hails again and worse, you might not be covered. If your vehicle was damaged previously and not fixed immediately, then you dent your vehicle in another way, some insurance companies will not give you the full amount to fix all of the dents.
No. If you can live with it, then you can pocket the check or put it towards another vehicle. If it hails again, or your car gets dented further for an unforeseen reason, you might not be eligible for future insurance fixes.
Because different vehicles of different years are all made of different materials, the type of car you drive may affect the time it takes to get your car dent free. On the whole, the process is the same for all vehicles.
