Hail Damage Repair in Paola, Kansas
Paintless dent repair for vehicles dented by the April 15 storm in Miami 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
Four reports were filed within twelve minutes of each other around Paola on the afternoon of April 15, and the largest of them is 4.00 inches. That is the biggest hail size in the Kansas reports we reviewed for that day.
The one that matters most for credibility is not the biggest, though. It is the 2.50-inch report from downtown, because the spotter wrote that it was measured rather than estimated.
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
At 2.50 inches the size chart says tennis ball, and at 2.75 it says baseball. Paola had reports above both. Hail that size does not leave subtle dents.
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.

Every one of them was written by somebody who was exactly where you are right now, deciding who to trust with their car.
“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.”

“They’ve repaired two of my vehicles at the same time. They worked closely with the insurance and took their time to make sure my vehicles looked as good as new. Once my vehicles were in their care they took care of everything. It was a very smooth and worthwhile process.”

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.
