Hail dents come out.
The factory paint stays on.
Cranio Hail is a paintless dent repair crew that travels to the markets hail hits. We look at the car in person, then handle your insurance claim with you. The inspection is free and takes about 30 minutes.
Monday to Friday, 9am to 7pm. Saturday until 3pm. Prefer to type? Text us.
The dents come out from behind the panel
Hail lands hardest on the flat, horizontal panels: hood, roof, trunk lid. Paintless dent repair reaches the back of those panels and works the metal out from behind. When a panel qualifies for it, the factory paint is never sanded, filled or resprayed.
Most owners do not see how much is there. Hail damage shows up under a low, raking light, and it does not photograph reliably. A phone photo flattens the panel and hides dents that are plain to see in person, which is why the inspection happens at the vehicle and not over pictures.
Some damage cannot be repaired this way. Where conventional bodywork is required, we tell you before anything starts.
How paintless dent repair actually works
Three stages, seen from the side, through the thickness of a single panel.
Hail lands on the flat panels
Hood, roof and trunk lid take it first. The metal gives, and the paint stretches with it instead of breaking.
The rod works from behind
We reach the back of the panel and push the metal back to where it was, a little at a time.
Nothing is sanded, filled or sprayed
The paint that leaves with you is the paint the factory put on. That is the whole point of the method.
Where hail lands on a car
Hail falls close to vertical, so it collects on the flat panels and mostly misses the doors and the sides. Those three panels are where the damage count is decided.
You do three things. We do the rest.
Tell us where the car is
Booking takes about a minute.
Let us look at it in person, under proper light
About 30 minutes. The inspection is free and there is no obligation afterwards.
Decide
You will know exactly what we found before anything happens to your vehicle.
This is what we are looking for
The same vehicle, before and after
Straight lines reflected off a panel are how a dent is read.
Every broken hexagon on the before side is an impact that daylight would hide. On the after side the lines run straight.
Open full size (Ford truck, new tab)The paint on the after side is the paint the car left the factory with. Nothing was sanded, filled or sprayed to get there.
Open full size (Mercedes sedan, new tab)The dents on the before side are circled because most of them disappear in ordinary daylight. The after side is the same hood, and nothing was repainted.

Every one of them was written by somebody who was exactly where you are right now, deciding who to trust with their car.
“He was professional, transparent, and very helpful. They handled everything with my insurance company, kept me updated throughout the process, and the quality of work was top-notch, my car looks brand new again! […] They even detailed my car before returning it, which was a nice surprise.”

“I have always heard about Hail Damage but never experienced one. When I did experience it the very first time I was shattered to see the kind of damage it did to my leased vehicle. Ceaser from Cranio Hail knocked at my door like an angel and took away all of my worries and brought the vehicle back to showroom condition.”

We handle the insurance side with you
Hail repair on a vehicle is handled through your auto insurance claim. That part is the same everywhere. What changes is who does the work of it.
-
You open the claim. We take it from there.
Only the policyholder can open a claim, and it takes one phone call. After that we document the damage, send the estimate, and coordinate with your adjuster directly.
-
If the first estimate misses damage, we file the supplement.
Hail damage is routinely under-counted on a first look. Documenting what was missed and submitting it for review is part of the job, not an extra.
-
A loaner while your car is with us.
We can arrange a vehicle so you are not left without one during the repair. Ask about it at the inspection and we will sort out the details for your situation.
-
You hear from us at every step.
Estimate sent. Approval received. Repair started. Ready for delivery. You will not have to chase anyone for an update.
“I was updated through the entire process. Cesar was attentive to dealing with the insurance agency. Great company”

What happens after you file, step by step
Questions about your specific claim or policy? Bring them to the inspection. Every policy is a little different, and that is a conversation about your car, not a paragraph on a website.
Who pays for what
The question everybody asks first, laid out plainly.
The repair is paid through your policy
Hail is handled under the comprehensive part of an auto policy. The number does not come out of a price list we set. It comes out of a damage count that is documented in writing.
Your deductible is set by your policy
Not by us, and not by the shop you pick. Your carrier is the only one who can tell you what yours is, and it is worth asking before you file. We do not give insurance advice.
The inspection costs you nothing
Free, about 30 minutes, and no obligation afterwards. If what we find does not justify a claim, we will tell you that, and you owe us nothing.
Every repair carries a lifetime warranty
Our team goes over the terms with you at the inspection, before any work is authorized. Bring the questions people actually ask: what it covers, and what would void it.
The written warranty terms come with your completed repair, and those written terms are what govern. You are never holding a line from a website.
We follow the storm. Lancaster is home.
Cranio Hail travels to the markets the storm hit and works out of partner shops while the crew is there. There is no walk-in location. We come to the vehicle.
