Hail Damage · the quick answers

Everything you’d ask Mike, answered.

  • What’s it cost me?
    Just your deductible

    File the comprehensive claim — the carrier covers the rest. Self-pay (no comp) starts around $800 by dent count.

  • Will my rates go up?
    No

    Hail is a comprehensive (no-fault) claim — it doesn’t move your premium. Industry standard; confirm with your agent.

  • How is it priced?
    By dent count

    A PDR matrix in bands (1–5, 6–15, 16–30+) — not charged per individual dent.

  • How fast?
    1–2 days

    Typical storm car. Written quote within 24–48 hours of your photos; repair scheduled in advance.

  • Will it look factory?
    No paint, no filler

    Even the roof and aluminum hoods come back to factory finish — no repaint, no filler.

  • Aluminum hood?
    Handled

    Aluminum is glue-pulled from the outside and takes longer; the carrier estimate reflects the extra labor.

How it works

Four steps. No surprises.

  1. 1
    Text a photo

    Make, model + one shot. Real price back in 24–48 hrs.

  2. 2
    Lock a slot

    Driveway, office, or the shop. Scheduled — no waiting room.

  3. 3
    Mike works it

    One set of hands. No paint, no filler.

  4. 4
    Walk the panel

    Checked together at pickup. Not right, you don’t pay.

"Hail jobs are where the trade earns its name. The car comes in looking totaled and drives out with the paint it left the dealer with.

How much does paintless dent repair cost?

  • Door ding $125–250
  • Mid dent $150–350
  • Hail per car
  • Written quote 24–48 hrs

PDR pricing depends on the dent size, depth, and panel location. Door dings typically run $125–$250 each. Mid-size dents and shallow creases run $150–$350. Hail damage is quoted per vehicle based on dent count — most full-vehicle hail jobs in the Lehigh Valley run $1,200–$3,500 (insurance covers the rest of any supplement). Send a photo and you'll get a real written quote within 24–48 hours, not a "starting from" estimate.

How long does paintless dent repair take?

  • Door ding 30–60 min
  • Crease 2–4 hrs
  • Hail 1 day
  • Big storm 2–3 days

Single door dings: 30–60 minutes on-site. Multiple dings or a small crease: 2–4 hours. Hail repairs: most cars done in 1 day at the shop, larger storms 2–3 days. We don't hold cars for a week the way collision shops do — there's no paint to dry.

Do you serve Allentown, Easton, Quakertown, and the rest of the Lehigh Valley?

  • Mobile 30-mi radius
  • The whole Valley
  • Scheduled in advance

Yes — every town in the Valley plus the surrounding counties. The primary route covers Bethlehem, Allentown, Easton, Whitehall, Emmaus, Hellertown, Northampton, Catasauqua, Coplay, Fountain Hill, Freemansburg, and Bath. Mobile route to Quakertown, Nazareth, Macungie, Coopersburg, Palmer Township, Bath, and Phillipsburg NJ. Outer-market route to the Poconos (Stroudsburg, East Stroudsburg) and Doylestown and Souderton. Every job is scheduled in advance. See the service area map above for the full 30-mile loop.

How does paying with insurance work for hail damage?

  • You pay just your deductible
  • Rates don't move
  • Mike writes the estimate

It's a five-step flow, and Mike does not bill the carrier — you do. You file the comprehensive claim with Erie, State Farm, Geico, or Progressive. The carrier pays you minus your deductible. Mike writes the estimate (and any supplement) so your adjuster has the right number, repairs the car, and you pay Mike with the carrier check plus your deductible. Out of pocket is just your deductible. Hail claims usually don't affect your rates because they're comprehensive (not at-fault), and PDR runs 30–50% cheaper than a body-shop repair.

What types of dents can PDR fix — and what can't it fix?

  • Fixes dings, hail, creases
  • Can't cracked paint
  • Free honest no

PDR works on door dings, hail damage, parking-lot creases, body-line dents, hinge dents, and most large dents up to softball-size — as long as the paint isn't cracked. PDR can't fix dents with paint chips, dents in inaccessible areas (sealed seams, sharp body lines on some panels), or panels that are bent past their metal memory. If we can't fix it cleanly we'll tell you on the spot for free and refer you to a body shop we trust.

Do you come to my home or office, or do I bring the car to you?

  • Mobile your driveway
  • Or the Bethlehem shop
  • You decide

Both. Mike runs a fully-equipped mobile PDR unit covering a 30-mile radius from Bethlehem — driveway, office lot, dealership, storage unit, anywhere with light and space. Most jobs are completed while you stay on a Zoom call. Larger jobs (full hail events) usually come back to the Bethlehem shop where the controlled lighting and full toolkit are on hand. You decide.

A note from Mike
If your dent isn't paintless, I'll tell you on the spot — for free — and point you to a body shop I trust. The honest answer beats a half-fixed panel every time.
