PDR, Painting & Panel Work—All In-House

Unlike many repairers who bring in mobile techs or outsource the work, we offer hail damage repairs entirely in-house. That means you get consistent workmanship, quicker turnaround times and the confidence of knowing exactly who’s working on your car. We’ll start with an honest assessment to determine whether PDR is the best solution—if so, we’ll carefully massage the dents out without disturbing the paint. If any damage needs repainting or panel replacement, we’ll take care of that too.


We understand how frustrating storm damage can be, especially when insurance paperwork gets involved. That’s why we help you navigate the claims process, work with your insurer directly and aim to get your car back to pre-storm condition as efficiently as possible. Whether it’s one or one hundred dents, we’ll fix them with care and precision—because it’s not just about removing damage, it’s about restoring confidence in your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I do if my car has hail damage?

    If your car has been damaged by hail, the first step is to inspect it thoroughly in good lighting. Look for dents on the roof, bonnet, boot and side panels, and check for any cracked or broken glass. If you have comprehensive car insurance, you should contact your insurer to lodge a claim as soon as possible. Take clear photos of the damage from multiple angles before any repairs are done, and avoid trying to fix the dents yourself. It’s a good idea to get an assessment from a professional hail damage repairer, who can advise on the best approach—usually either paintless dent removal (PDR) or traditional panel repair depending on the severity.

  • Can hail damage be repaired without repainting the car?

    Yes, in many cases hail damage can be repaired without repainting, using a method called paintless dent removal (PDR). This technique involves using specialised tools to massage the dents out from behind the panel, restoring the shape without affecting the original paint. PDR is ideal for shallow dents where the paint hasn’t cracked, chipped or stretched. It’s a faster, more affordable option compared to traditional panel work and respraying, and it preserves the factory finish. However, if the paint is damaged or if the dents are deep or on panel edges, conventional repairs involving repainting may be required.

  • Can hail damage lower the value of my car?

    Yes, if left unrepaired, hail damage can lower the resale value of your vehicle. Visible dents, paint imperfections or cracked glass can make a car appear poorly maintained, which may discourage buyers or reduce trade-in value. Even if the damage seems minor, buyers may assume there could be hidden structural issues. Repairing hail damage promptly—especially using paintless dent removal—helps maintain your car’s appearance and market value while preventing further deterioration. Additionally, vehicles with hail damage that are written off by insurers may be listed on a repairable write-off register, which can affect resale value and insurability in the future.
