Come to a B Street Collision Center Hail Repair Body Shop
We live in hail country. Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, and Wisconsin sit in the part of the map that takes the worst of it every spring and summer.
After 40-plus years of auto body repair, we have repaired more hail-damaged vehicles than we can count!
Hail repair is not a side job for us, and we’re not a pop-up tent in a parking lot that packs up and leaves town after the storm.
We assess the damage honestly and can repair most of it with paintless dent repair, preserving your factory paint. We repair inside in a warm environment, not a tent. B Street Collision Centers use OEM parts when a panel truly needs to be replaced.
We handle the insurance claim from start to finish. Every repair is backed by our lifetime warranty at all B Street and Ball Body Shop locations across four states.
Because a vehicle roof that looks smooth from ten feet and a roof that is actually right are not always the same thing. Our qualified hail repair team can identify hidden damage, communicate with insurance providers, and ensure repairs meet industry standards.
Did You Know Most Hail Damage Repair is Done Using Paintless Dent Repair Without the Need to Repaint Your Vehicle?
Here is the part that surprises people: the majority of hail dents can be removed with paintless dent repair (PDR), which works the metal back into shape from behind the panel without any filler or paint. Your factory finish stays exactly as it left the factory, which is the finish that holds the most value and never quite matches once it is resprayed.
PDR is faster, keeps your original paint, and usually costs your insurer less than conventional bodywork. It is the right answer for most hail, as long as the paint is not cracked and the dents are not too sharp or too deep.
When a dent has broken the paint or stretched the metal, the panel must be repaired. We tell you honestly and repair that panel the conventional way with OEM parts and a color-matched finish.
B Street Collision Centers never force every car into a single method to simplify the job.
At B Street Collision Center, we know that hail damage that is just popped out and hail damage that is repaired correctly are not always the same thing.
Knowing the difference is what protects your vehicle’s paint and its value.
Hail can damage glass too. We can repair or replace any hail damaged glass.
The Benefits of Choosing B Street Collision Center for Hail Damage Repair
We keep your factory paint whenever we can. Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) preserves the original finish, protecting your car’s value. A repainted panel, no matter how good, is a repainted panel on a resale inspection. We reach for PDR first and only repaint when the damage truly requires it.
We are honest about PDR versus repaint. Some shops quietly repaint panels that could have been saved with PDR, and some tent operations do the reverse and PDR panels that should have been replaced. We tell you which method each panel actually needs and why.
We handle the insurance claim for you. Hail is a comprehensive claim, and the estimate needs every panel and every dent counted correctly. We document the full damage, work directly with your adjuster, and ensure the repair is written correctly rather than being shortened.
Our body shops are here after the storm, and after the warranty. A parking-lot hail tent is gone by fall.
B Street Collision Center has been in these communities since 1978, and we back every repair with a lifetime warranty that you can actually come back and use.
PAINTLESS DENT REPAIR: Our PDR technicians work each dent back into shape from behind the panel using specialized rods and reflection boards, with no filler and no paint. It keeps your factory finish and is the right method for most hail damage.
CONVENTIONAL DENT AND PANEL REPAIR: When hail cracks the paint, stretches the metal, or lands on an edge PDR cannot reach, we repair or replace the panel with OEM parts and blend the finish with computerized paint matching.
HAIL GLASS REPLACEMENT: Hail that chips or cracks your windshield or back glass is replaced to factory specification, including recalibration of any camera or sensor mounted to the glass.
INSURANCE CLAIM HANDLING: We document the full extent of the damage, coordinate directly with your insurer, and handle the paperwork so your claim reflects the real repair.
What to know about Hail Damage Repair at B Street Collision Center.
Hail is filed as a comprehensive claim, which is treated as an act of nature rather than an at-fault accident, so it usually does not raise your rates the way a collision claim can.
Coverage and deductibles vary by policy. B Street Collision Center can verify your specific coverage before we start.
Be careful with them. Traveling hail-chaser operations set up tents after a big storm, take the easy claims, and leave town, which makes a warranty useless when a problem shows up months later.
B Street Collision Center is an established body shop that has been in your community since 1978. We stand behind the work with a lifetime warranty, and we will still be here next spring.
On most hail, yes, as long as the paint is not cracked and the dents are not too sharp or deep.
PDR preserves your factory finish, which is the best outcome for both appearance and resale value.
When a dent is beyond what PDR can correct. B Street Collision Center can tell you and repair the panel properly, rather than leaving it half-done.
Severe hail can push a repair estimate past a vehicle’s value, leading an insurer to total it, especially for older cars.
B Street Collision Center will assess the real damage first and give you a straight answer on repair versus total early, so you are not caught off guard by the adjuster.
It depends on the number of dents and whether any panels or glass need to be replaced.
PDR-only jobs move faster than conventional bodywork.
B Street Collision Center gives you a realistic timeline up front and keeps you updated, rather than an optimistic guess to book the car.
Done right, it protects it. PDR keeps your original factory paint, which is exactly what a resale inspection looks for.
If you were not at fault in a separate incident, you may have a diminished value claim, but standard comprehensive hail repair with PDR is specifically the method that preserves value.
