Hail hit your lot. Let's get it selling again.

A hail event freezes an entire inventory at once — every unit on the line needs eyes on it before it can be photographed, test-driven, or sent down the lane. We bring the repair operation to your property and work the lot unit by unit, frontline first.

The first week

What happens afteryou call us.

  1. Hour 0

    You call, we start routing

    Tell us the store, the rough unit count, and the storm date. If our crews are already deployed in your region we can often add your lot to the active rotation. If not, we start staging.

  2. Day 1

    Unit-by-unit damage survey

    We walk the lot with your used-car or fixed-ops manager and grade every vehicle: PDR-only, PDR plus panel refinish, or glass and trim replacement. You get a VIN-level count, not a lot-wide guess.

  3. Day 2–3

    Mobile bays go up on your property

    We bring our own PDR lighting, stands, and tooling and set up in a corner of your lot or an open service bay. Inventory never leaves the property and never goes on a transport invoice.

  4. Ongoing

    Frontline units first, daily reports

    We work in the order you sell: frontline retail units go first, then aged inventory, then loaners and service vehicles. You get a daily count of units finished and units remaining.

How we sequence the lot

We work it in theorder you sell it.

A hail lot isn’t one job — it’s a few hundred small ones with very different economics. We split your inventory into three buckets on day one and you tell us the priority.

  • Priority 1

    Frontline retail

    The units generating gross right now. These get worked first so your lot photos and test drives come back online fastest.

  • Priority 2

    Aged & wholesale

    Units heading to auction still need to present. We scope these for what the lane will actually pay back, not a full retail repair.

  • Priority 3

    Loaners & service fleet

    Courtesy vehicles and shop trucks worked around your service schedule so fixed ops keeps running through the recovery.

Why PDR, for a dealer

No repaint meansnothing to disclose.

Paintless dent repair works the metal from behind the panel and leaves the factory finish untouched. For a retail unit that means no paint-meter reading at the lane, no repaint on the vehicle history, and no conversation with a buyer about bodywork.

Roughly 90% of hail damage qualifies. Where a stone actually cracked or stretched the paint, we escalate that panel to body and factory-match refinish — and we flag those units to you before any work starts, so nothing shows up as a surprise at trade-in.

What an on-lot recovery includes

  • Per-vehicle pricing, not hourly — quoted off the VIN-level survey
  • Paintless dent repair first; panel refinish only where hail broke the paint
  • Storm-damaged glass, trim, and moldings replaced
  • No transport costs — every unit stays on your lot
  • Daily throughput reporting to your GM or used-car manager
  • Direct invoicing to the store, the group, or the carrier
  • NDA-friendly crews for pre-launch and confidential inventory
  • Lifetime warranty on the PDR work, transferable to the buyer
