Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)

This involves the Nichols trained technician massaging the dent out from underneath the body panel.
PDR usually will take anywhere from 2-3 days on average, but this is contingent upon the extremity of the hail damage.
PDR is the preferred method of hail damage repair because it allows for the original factory finish to be preserved. Depending on the severity of the damage to your vehicle, complete replacement of the body panel could be a necessity.

Traditional Dent Repair

This approach is a little more involved and means that the dents are straightened, filled and the panels are repainted.
Since there is more work associated with traditional dent repair, we make this decision on a case by case basis because it’s important to us to get you back on the road.
In other cases, we prefer to replace the panel rather than repair because it may be the best way to preserve your car’s value.

Window & Glass Repair

Hail damage to your car may mean glass repair or replacement. Yes, we are a full service auto body shop that repairs windshields, windshield cracks, and auto body glass.
Damaged or cracked windshields must be repaired for the safety of yourself and your passengers. This may result in a minor glass repair process or completely replacing the damaged glass.

ASSESSING HAIL DAMAGE

A tip with assessing the damage is to examine the vehicle inside as opposed to outside in the sun. With dent damage, the sun can easily create some inaccuracies because of the reflection that sunlight can cause. If you want, you can bring your car by and one of our trained technicians can help with a free estimate of your repair and communicate the extent of your hail damage.

PREFERRED AUTO BODY REPAIR SHOP

It’s imperative you understand that by law you are entitled to choose whichever Auto Body Repair Shop for your hail damage that you desire. Be sure that you indicate to your insurance company your preferred auto body repair shop, if you have one. If not, Nichols Frame & Auto Body Shop is trained and specialized in handling hail damage repair and dealing with insurance companies.

INSURANCE VS SHOP REPAIR ESTIMATE

To ensure that the insurance estimate was made accurately and that you’ve been quoted a fair settlement, have your preferred auto body shop provide you an estimate. At Nichols we will provide you a free estimate!! It’s not unusual for the estimate of your auto body repair shop to be different than the insurance adjuster. If there are any discrepancies in what the adjuster quoted, usually the auto body repair shop will address them by dealing with your insurance company directly.
