Your insurance company gave you instructions.

Here's what they probably didn't tell you.
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
A driveway walkaround misses dents daylight hides — and damage that isn't documented doesn't get repaired
Here's what's true instead:

You have the legal right to choose your repair shop. Hail is typically a comprehensive claim, not an at-fault collision. And you don't have to figure it out alone — we document everything and handle the insurance process with you.

PDR Light Booth

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.

Drive in with hail damage. Drive out in a loaner.

No waiting for repairs before getting back to your day.

If you're eligible, we'll get you into a loaner vehicle while we handle everything behind the scenes.

Your vehicle stays with us.

Your routine doesn't have to stop.

“Aren't you new to Minnesota?”

It's a fair question. We've actually been serving the Twin Cities since 2022, operating from our Woodbury location.

As demand grew after the recent hailstorm, we moved into a larger facility so we could repair more vehicles and serve more customers.

Throughout that time, we've maintained a local presence through our technicians and repair network, and we continue to stand behind every repair with our lifetime warranty.

We're here to repair your vehicle — and we're here to stand behind our work.

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.

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.

What about my deductible?

Deductible assistance is available for eligible customers. We'll walk you through exactly what applies to your claim at the inspection — no surprises.

Already scheduled at another shop?

Smart to have something lined up. If your repair date is weeks out, a free second opinion keeps your options open — we'll document the full damage under the Light Booth, and that documentation protects you whichever shop you choose.
