This was Gabrielle’s first time dealing with hail damage, so Esteban walked her through the whole process step by step. He showed her how we use specialized lighting and reflector boards to map every dent before we start, so nothing gets missed.
The repair itself was straightforward PDR rod work from behind the panels. Her car came out looking brand new. First-timers often come in nervous, and it’s our job to make that go away.

Geoffrey’s daughter had a new 4Runner that got caught in a two-minute hail storm on Christmas Day. The damage was concentrated on the hood.
Esteban got them in the next day. The 4Runner’s hood has good access from underneath, so it was clean rod work from behind the panel. He used a whale tail tool to cover the broader dents and a pointed tip for the sharper impacts. Repaired quickly at a price that worked for them. Holiday timing doesn’t change the urgency for the customer.

Alma’s Honda Civic got caught in a two-hour hail storm. Her insurance company wasn’t making it easy. We went to bat for her, dealt with the insurer, and got the claim handled fairly.
The Civic had dents across every exposed panel. We used PDR rods from behind each panel, starting with the roof and hood where the deepest impacts were. The Civic’s thinner gauge steel actually responds well to rod work, but you have to be careful not to over-push. We used a blending hammer and knockdown to fine-tune each dent after the initial push.
She told us we gave her back her livelihood and peace of mind. That one stuck with us.
