Three Reasons to Get Hail Damage Repair Right Away
If you were anywhere in El Paso this past fall when the terrible hail hit you probably got some pretty unsightly damage on your car. If you didn’t get it fixed with an insurance claim right away you probably cringe every time you walk out to your car. If you are, for whatever reason, waiting to get the repair done, you shouldn’t put it off. Even though the damage is only cosmetic and may not interfere with the function of your vehicle it is best to take care of it right away. Paintless dent repair is the best option and is possible if the paint hasn’t been compromised. However, there are several reason other than your car’s paint to get the problem fixed right away.
A More Costly Fix
The biggest reason you should get your hail damage fixed right away is the paint on your vehicle. If you wait to long the paint inside each tiny pock mark might start to crack. This will mean that paintless dent repair is no longer an option. In this case traditional methods of dent repair using sanding, fillers, and a new paint job will be necessary. Not only is this a more costly fix, but the time frame on the repair job will be much longer.
Paintless dent repair only takes a few hours to conduct. If your car stays in the shop for an extended time it is usually only a day or two due to peak season. Not only is it quick, but the repair job restores the car to its original state. Traditional methods cover over the damage which is still present under layers of filler and new paint.
A Bigger Problem on Your Hands
If you drive around with hail damage and end up in an accident, an insurance claim can get difficult. The damage can cause the vehicle to be totaled out. This happens often because hail damage is considered a costly fix by insurance companies. They normally take off a huge portion of the car’s value due to hail damage.
Selling a Car Can Be More Difficult
The car’s value can also become a problem if you plan on selling your vehicle. You won’t get nearly what the car is worth if you attempt to sell it with hail damage. If you get the car fixed with traditional methods this can also affect the car’s value. This is because traditional dent repair goes on a car’s record and is considered a major repair. Paintless dent repair is different. Since this fix restores the car to original state, it is not recorded on your car’s repair history.
