The actual repair value depends on vehicle size and damage: light damage typically runs $1,500–$3,500, moderate damage $3,500–$7,000, and heavier damage on trucks and SUVs $7,000–$15,000+.

Does insurance cover hail damage in Nebraska?

Yes. Comprehensive auto insurance covers hail damage in Nebraska. Hail claims are filed under comprehensive coverage (not collision), so they are no-fault and typically do not increase your rates. We handle the entire claim process for you.

Will a hail claim raise my insurance rates?

In most cases, no. Hail damage is a comprehensive claim, which is considered a no-fault weather event. Most Nebraska insurance carriers do not surcharge for comprehensive weather claims. Check with your agent to confirm your specific policy.

What is paintless dent repair (PDR)?

PDR is a specialized technique that removes dents from the inside of the panel without any sanding, filling, or repainting. It preserves your vehicle's original factory paint, maintains its resale value, and is typically completed in 1–3 days.

How long does hail repair take?

Most vehicles are completed in 1–3 business days. Heavier damage may take slightly longer. We provide a clear timeline at your free inspection and keep you updated throughout the process.

Do you offer free pickup and delivery?

Yes! We offer complimentary pickup and delivery throughout the Nebraska Panhandle including Scottsbluff, Gering, Terrytown, Mitchell, Minatare, Morrill, Bayard, and surrounding areas. Call (308) 562-5484 to schedule.

Can I get an estimate by sending photos?

Absolutely. Text photos of your hail damage to (308) 562-5484 and we'll provide a preliminary estimate. For the most accurate assessment, we recommend a free in-person inspection at our Gering location, or we can come to you.

What's the difference between PDR and a body shop?

Traditional body shops sand, fill, and repaint damaged panels. PDR works the metal back to its original shape from behind the panel, preserving your factory paint. PDR is faster (1–3 days vs 1–2 weeks), more affordable, and better for your vehicle's resale value because there's no repaint on record.
