Before you choose a repair shop...
Most people make one decision first that can affect everything after.
- The first estimate from insurance is a starting point, not the final repair plan
- “Preferred” means they have an agreement — not that it’s the better, specialized repair
- You have the legal right to choose your repair facility
There's a step most people skip: verify the damage first. File your claim, get every panel documented under the Light Booth, then decide what's best for you — no pressure, no obligation, just the facts.
Verify My DamageHow it works
Step 1 — File your insurance claim
Don't worry about choosing a repair shop yet. That's normal. Filing takes about 10 minutes.
Step 2 — Verify your damage
Most hail damage can't be seen in normal lighting. Our Light Booth shows exactly what's there before repairs begin.
Step 3 — Then decide what's best for you
Once you know exactly how much damage exists, you can make an informed decision. No pressure. No obligation. Just the facts.
Why every inspection starts here
Most hail dents are hard to see in normal daylight.
Our PDR Light Booth helps reveal damage that can easily be missed during a basic inspection.
That means a more accurate inspection.
A better repair plan.
And a smoother insurance process.

Questions we hear every day
Will a hail claim raise my rates?
Hail damage is typically handled as a comprehensive claim — not an at-fault collision. Rate decisions are made by your insurance company, and your carrier can confirm exactly how your policy handles comprehensive claims.
Do you work with my insurance company?
Yes. Whoever insures you, we handle the claim communication on your behalf — documentation, supplements if additional damage is found, and repair scheduling. You stay in control; we do the legwork.
The adjuster says their shop is “Toyota certified” or “Honda certified.” Do I have to go there?
No. A manufacturer certification describes a shop's program with that brand — it doesn't obligate you. Minnesota law (Statute 72A.201) protects your right to choose your own repair shop and prohibits insurers from pressuring you toward theirs. Those certifications are also built around collision repair — replacing panels and repainting. Hail is a PDR specialty: we repair your original factory panels without replacement, which is exactly what keeps your vehicle factory-original.
What does the inspection cost?
Nothing. The Light Booth inspection and estimate are free, with no obligation to repair with us.
I already have an estimate or a check from my insurance company. Is it too late?
No. The first estimate is a starting point, not the final word. We document the full damage under the Light Booth and, if more is found, submit a supplement to your existing claim.
How long do repairs take?
Once your claim is approved, our paintless dent repair standard is 48 hours in-shop. Loaner vehicles are available for eligible customers so your routine doesn't stop.
Haven't filed your claim yet?
Filing takes about 10 minutes and you don't need a shop chosen first. We'll walk you through it step by step, with direct claim lines for every major carrier.
