Insurance made simple
How hail damage claims work
After a storm, open a comprehensive claim with your insurer (most hail repairs land in the thousands — often well worth filing). Your provider may send a field adjuster to your home, office, or our shop to write the first estimate. Once you have that estimate — or even before — contact DentKings. We’ll build the game plan and timeline to get your car dent-free.

Approval → repair → keys back
We work directly with the adjuster until the estimate is approved. Then we restore the vehicle panel by panel. Most hail jobs return in a few days once repairs start — not weeks at a traditional body shop.

Hail damage FAQ
Questions answered.
Do you work with all insurance companies?
Yes. We work with all major carriers and many regional ones — State Farm, GEICO, Progressive, Allstate, USAA, Erie, Nationwide, Liberty Mutual, and more. Bring a claim number if you have one, or use the form above and we’ll help open the claim.
How do hail damage claims work?
1) File a comprehensive claim with your insurer (or let us help). 2) We inspect under specialized PDR lights, map every dent, and send an adjuster-ready estimate. 3) After approval we repair panel by panel and return your keys. We stay in the loop with the adjuster so you don’t chase paperwork alone. See How claims work.
Is paintless dent repair covered by insurance?
Yes. Hail is usually a comprehensive claim. Insurers prefer PDR when the paint is intact because it restores metal without fillers or repaint, protects resale value, and often costs less than conventional body work. After approval, most customers only pay their deductible.
How long does hail repair take?
End-to-end, many hail jobs wrap in about 3–7 days. Pure PDR (no paint or parts) often finishes in 1–3 days once repairs start. Insurance approval and parts can add time — we give a clear timeline after inspection.
What if I don’t have a claim number yet?
No problem. Submit the form with your insurance company name. We’ll walk you through opening the claim, what to tell your carrier, and how to schedule the adjuster — often at our Rockville shop.
Can you repair Tesla and other EVs after hail?
Yes. We regularly repair Tesla and other aluminum / high-strength panels with paintless methods that protect factory finish, glass, and sensors. Tesla hail insurance claims work the same way — we handle estimate and paperwork support.
Should I wash the car before I bring it in?
If you can, yes — a clean car speeds dent counting under our lights. If it’s unsafe or impractical to wash, bring it as-is. We’ll still give a thorough estimate.
Will you text me about my hail claim?
When you submit the form, you agree DentKings may text you about your claim and quote. Message frequency may vary; reply STOP to unsubscribe. Details in our Privacy Policy.
