Our hail damage repair Colorado Springs team uses a variety of tools and techniques to remove hail dents. The process begins when you make an appointment to repair your car. You tell us the nature of the damage. With the information, we can start preparing immediately for your arrival. Here are the conventional methods that we can use to repair the dent (you can try some too):
1. Heating & Cooling
Dry ice: We apply dry ice on the dent. The change in temperature helps force the dent to pop out. All we do is move the ice around the dent while wearing the proper protective gear. You can try this if the damage is small.
Park Car in Sunny Place: We can also park the vehicle in a sunny area. You can try this at home too for minor cases. When the metal heats up, the dented surface is likely to pop out due to the expansion.
Hot Air: If the above procedure fails, you can use a hairdryer. Ensure that the distance between the hairdryer and the vehicle is between 2 and 4 inches. Also, take care to prevent the car’s paint from discoloring. If you cannot, contact us to help.
2. Dent Repair Kit
You can use the above methods when the dents are too small. Larger ones may require the use of a dent removal kit. These auto hail damage repair Colorado Springs kits are available in many auto supply stores and are cheap. You can fix the dent using these techniques by reading the user manual.
3. Our Shop
For large and deep dents, you should not try to fix them alone. Some of them are too complex and require the help of an expert. This is where we always come in. We assess the nature of the damage and decide on the best technique to use.
