Hermitage mixes suburban neighborhoods with busy commercial stretches along Old Hickory Boulevard and Lebanon Pike, and much of the commuter traffic heads into Nashville on I-40. Cars here are often parked in open driveways and large retail lots rather than garages, which leaves them exposed when spring storms bring hail across Middle Tennessee.
Hail typically leaves dozens of shallow, round dents on the hood, roof and trunk lid. When the paint survives intact, paintless dent repair can remove many of them without any repainting.

After a hailstorm
Wait for a dry day and look at the car in indirect light, or at an angle to a reflection: hail dents show up as small ripples in the reflection. Then send photos of each panel, including the roof if you can safely reach it.

Frequently asked questions
Can every hail dent be fixed with PDR?
No. Very large dents, sharp creases or dents with cracked paint may need filler and paint. Most small to medium hail dents are good PDR candidates.
Should I drive my hail-damaged car to the shop?
Usually yes, if lights, mirrors and the view out are unaffected. If anything that affects safe driving is damaged, deal with that first.
