The reason to move now is where the crew is
The Shawnee report is one of the few from that morning where a spotter called it in live and the weather service marked the time as confirmed rather than estimated from radar.
It came in between 5:42 and 5:46 in the morning. Hail that lands before dawn gets found hours later, in a parking lot, under the wrong light, which is why so much April damage in Johnson County is still sitting on cars.
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 spotter reported stones between three quarters of an inch and one and three quarters. The top of that range is golf ball, and golf ball dents sheet metal.
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.
“Since the first day they took my truck it was a smooth transaction. For some reason my insurance couldn’t get me a rental truck for the first 2 days, guess what? They gave one of theirs for free so that I can take care of my work. Cesar himself brought it to me.”

“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, 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.
