"250+ dents from the September storm. Dent Shop had it 2 days, looks factory. Insurer paid direct, zero hassle."
Mark S. – Vaughan • Ford F-150
"Insurance wanted me to use their direct repair facility and the earliest they could do was a month out. Dent Shop did the work in less than 2 days after I called them and was 100% covered by insurance. It's like magic!"
Amy R. – Markham • Lexus NX350
"Many large dents from the September hail storm. I was worried as 3 different shops wouldn't do Tesla because aluminum. I was recommended Dent Shop from a certified Tesla body shop and can't even tell there were dents. Very happy."
Priya N. – ThornHill • Tesla Model Y
"Dealership recommended them for a reason. You literally can't tell where the hail was. Kept my lease return clean."
David L. – Markham • Porsche Macan

FAQ

Got Hail Damage? Here's What You Need to Know

Repair Process & Technology

What is Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)?

PDR is a precise craft that uses custom-engineered hand tools and LED reflection lights to gently manipulate dented metal back to its original shape from behind the panel. There is no grinding, no body filler, and no repainting required.

How long does the repair process take?

Your initial inspection takes about 30 minutes. Once approved, most hail repairs are completed within 2 to 7 days, depending on dent severity and panel disassembly required. We provide a firm completion date at the time of inspection so you can plan ahead.

Will PDR work on my vehicle? How do you know?

As long as your factory paint hasn't cracked and the metal isn't stretched beyond repair, PDR works on almost every vehicle. During your 30-minute inspection, we evaluate your panels using high-intensity lights and paint-depth gauges. Over 90% to 100% of hail-damaged vehicles can be fully restored with PDR alone. If a panel truly requires conventional body shop paintwork, we'll tell you upfront.

Do you have to repaint or use body filler? Does it preserve factory paint?

Never for PDR-eligible dents. Because we don't disturb your original finish, your factory paint warranty stays 100% intact, your Carfax stays clean of body shop paint records, and your vehicle retains its maximum resale value.

Insurance & Costs

Do you work directly with my insurance company?

Yes. We handle the paperwork, submit photo documentation, and use PDR-specific invoicing that adjusters require. We offer direct billing to your insurer and automatically process any insurance supplements if hidden damage is discovered during teardown.

Will my insurance premium go up? Is hail damage covered?

Hail damage falls under your comprehensive coverage, not collision. In Ontario, comprehensive claims are considered an "act of nature" (like theft or fallen branches) and typically do not increase your insurance rates. Your policy covers the repair minus your deductible. We work directly with all major Canadian insurers—including Aviva, Intact, Desjardins, Chubb, Travelers, Allstate, and Economical—and document everything to ensure a smooth, hassle-free approval.

What vehicle makes and models do you service?

We repair all vehicle makes and models. Our master technicians specialize in everything from high-end luxury and electric vehicles (Tesla, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, McLaren) to everyday commuter cars, SUVs, and work trucks.

How much does Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) cost for hail?

Pricing depends on dent severity, panel location, and total dent count. We inspect your vehicle using specialized PDR lighting and calculate a precise, transparent estimate using the standard insurance-approved hail matrix. Your insurance company pays for the repair—you are only responsible for your deductible, and we guarantee every hail dent on your vehicle is fully restored.

Scheduling & Convenience

Can you come to me for a mobile estimate?

Yes! During storm season, we offer free mobile estimates across the GTA if you have a garage or covered indoor area. Alternatively, we can schedule your estimate or drop-off at our main facility in Bradford or at one of our convenient partner body shops located throughout the GTA.
