HAIL DAMAGE REPAIR.
Serving Wylie, Murphy, Royse City, Princeton, Nevada, Josephine, Greenville
Identifying hail damage is easy, but also difficult when the only sign of a storm is subtle dents. It's common for people to see an approaching hailstorm and check their vehicle after it passes without noticing any outward signs or damages; however, we use special tools that help us find smaller cracks in each panel so you'll know if something has been damaged inside!
You can rest assured that we will take care of your vehicle in the event it is damaged by hailstorm. We have years experience working with insurance companies, and our team has all necessary resources to handle any job no matter how big or small you need us!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
My car was damaged in the hail storm. What do I do now?
First, contact your insurance company to initiate a claim. They will tell you where to take your vehicle to have the damage assessed by an insurance adjuster. Once the assessor has looked at the damage, they will provide you with an estimate of the repair cost.
I am meeting with my adjuster, now what?
Allow the adjuster to inspect your car and write an estimate to repair the damages. This estimate may not be accurate, as it is just an estimate. When you have your car repaired, any difference between the amount of the estimate and the final invoice will be resolved between the repairing vendor and the insurance company by means of a supplement. Ray Harris Paint and Body can help you with this process. The insurance adjuster will most likely encourage you to have your car repaired by one of their preferred vendors. insurance companies can only recommend a place, it is up to you to decide who makes the repairs!
I’ve got my check, how do I proceed?
If you've been unfortunate enough to have your car damaged by hail, you know the drill. Most insurance companies will issue you a check for the estimated damage, and if you cash it, you're effectively settling the claim for that amount - even if the actual damage is higher. It can be tempting to just take the money and run, but there are consequences to consider before making that decision. For example, future insurance claims may be denied if you don't repair the hail damage on your car. And if you try to sell your car down the road, potential buyers will likely low-ball you because of the unsightly damage. So while it may be tempting to pocket the insurance money and move on, it's important to weigh all your options before making a decision.
