Hail Storms in Colorado can leave your vehicle with hidden damage, but Dents By Hand is here to help you understand the true extent of the impact. Since 1996, our family-owned shop has provided expert PDR in Boulder, Broomfield, and the surrounding areas, using our Light Tunnel and PDR lighting to reveal dents that often go unnoticed. Our free, no-obligation Hail Evaluations give you a ballpark repair cost range, empowering you to decide if filing an insurance claim makes sense.
What Is a Hail Evaluation?
A Hail Evaluation is a quick, complimentary service designed to assess your vehicle’s hail damage. In just 10-15 minutes, we use our PDR lights to uncover hidden dents, cracked paint, or damaged moldings that insurance adjusters often miss. This evaluation provides a rough estimate of repair costs, helping you determine whether filing a claim is the right choice. It’s the first step toward understanding your vehicle’s condition after a hailstorm, with no pressure to commit to repairs.
How Does Our Hail Evaluation Process Work?
Our process is simple and transparent:
- Bring Your Vehicle: Visit our Boulder shop or Broomfield location for an evaluation. Our Broomfield location is at SVE Auto Body – please call us to set up that appointment.
- Provide Insurance Paperwork: Please bring your insurance paperwork if available so we can review that and establish a starting point for your claim.
- PDR Light Inspection: We use our advanced Light Tunnel or PDR lighting to reveal every dent, ensuring an accurate inspection of the damage.
- Ballpark Estimate: We provide a rough repair cost range, helping you decide whether to file a claim or explore other options.
