Did you recently experience hail damage on your vehicle?  Hampden Auto Body is here to help if you did.  We can assist you with any questions you have about the repair process, insurance coverage, etc. We specialize in auto hail repair and paintless dent repair.  We work with all major insurance companies and can help to ensure that your vehicle is repaired correctly.

The first step in the process is to call your insurance company to file an auto hail damage claim.  Unfortunately, unless you have comprehensive coverage, your insurance company won’t cover the damage.  Comprehensive coverage includes weather-related damage (such as hail), vandalism, and theft. Comprehensive claims do not normally affect your insurance premium.  If you file a hail damage claim but do not repair the vehicle, you may be denied coverage for future claims, and your vehicle may suffer a significant loss of value.

At your scheduled appointment, we will inspect your vehicle, put together a repair plan, and advise you on the best method for auto hail repair.  Repairs can be accomplished in one of two ways: 1) traditional auto body repair and refinishing and/or 2) paintless dent repair (PDR).  PDR involves using specially molded tools to remove dents from the underside of a damaged part without disturbing the factory finish. The PDR method will not invalidate paint warranties if the repairs are done correctly and by trained technicians.

From minor dents caused by small hail to roof replacements from baseball-sized hail, our certified technicians can ensure your vehicle is restored to its prior condition. Our continued dedication to OEM credentials, quality, innovation, education, and investment has made our business THE preferred auto body repair provider in the metro Denver area for over 40 years.  Call us today to schedule an estimate at 303-761-0677.
