Hail Damage Car Repair in Kansas City, Kansas
Paintless dent repair for vehicles dented by the August 18 to 19 storm in Wyandotte County. Our crew is working the area now.
Monday to Friday, 9am to 7pm. Saturday until 3pm. Prefer to type? Text us.
The reason to move now is where the crew is
The storm that dented these cars came through in the middle of the night. Two of the reports filed that night are photographs of vehicle damage, one of them a cracked windshield, which is how you know it was not a light one.
Overnight hail is the kind people underestimate, because nobody stood outside and watched it land. The car was in the driveway and the damage was already done by morning.
Dents do not settle out on their own. The only thing that changes while you wait is how long you have been driving a dented car, and whether our crew is still close enough to look at it.
What that size of hail does to a car
The reports around Piper and Kansas City put the stones at 1.75 inches, which the weather service calls golf ball. That is already well past the size that dents a hood.
Hail lands hardest on the flat, horizontal panels: hood, roof, trunk lid. Most owners do not see the full extent in daylight. It shows up under a low, raking light, which is why the inspection happens in person and not over photos.
Paintless dent repair works the metal back from behind the panel. When a panel qualifies for it, the factory paint is never touched. How paintless dent repair works.

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.

“I contacted Cranio Hail to get my car fixed and I was beyond happy with the quality of service. They got my car fixed incredibly fast with getting me a rent in the mean time. I was updated through the entire process. Cesar was attentive to dealing with the insurance agency.”

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, because only the policyholder can. After that we document the damage, send the estimate, deal with your adjuster and file the supplement when the first estimate misses damage. You hear from us at every step rather than chasing anyone.
How a hail insurance claim works, 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.
