Can hail damage be fixed on a car?<\/h3>\n

Most of the time, yes. There are a few caveats though. The main one being paint damage. Paintless dent repair<\/a> is obviously “paintless.” This means that PDR techs do not use paint to repair hail damage. Instead, they use a series of tools and gadgets to lift the dents from the underside of the damaged panel. If the paint is damaged, the dents can be removed but there will still be damage. Paint damage isn’t something we typically see on a car after a hail storm.<\/p>\n
