Hail Damage Repair

Few things are as frustrating as hail damage. Severe storms often occur without warning in Nebraska, and their effects can be devastating for any vehicle. That’s why we proudly offer affordable hail damage repair services for our Lincoln community! We have over 20 years of experience in the auto body industry, and our certified technicians have the knowledge and expertise needed to restore your vehicle’s condition after any storm.

Hail Damage Is Common

Hailstorms appear around the world, but they’re especially common in the United States. This is likely due to geographic conditions that promote the growth of severe thunderstorms. Americans saw nearly 4000 hailstorms in 2021 alone, and they cause billions of dollars in damage annually. 

 

Many consider Nebraska, Colorado, and Wyoming to be in “hail alley.” These areas generally see at least 7 hailstorms each year. Severe storms arise during spring and summer months when Midwesterners enjoy camping, traveling, and being outdoors. This is troubling because hail is probably the last thing on your mind when you’re out at the lake in June. 

 

Sadly, hail can affect vehicles at a moment’s notice in any season. The force of its impact often causes small dents, deep scratches, and severely chipped paint. In rare cases, hail can also break mirrors, windows, and windshields, sometimes leading to leaks, water damage, and even total vehicle failure. Of course, the extent of this damage depends on the size of the hail and how long the vehicle was exposed. 

 

Luckily, most comprehensive car insurance policies cover hail damage. We gladly work with all auto insurance companies to take the stress and guesswork out of the repair process. Our technicians can resolve any kind of hail damage, from small dings and cracks to large dents, chipped paint, and broken windows.

Our Hail Damage Repair Process

If your vehicle was caught in a hailstorm, then don’t worry! We specialize in hail damage repair at Morrow Collision Center. Our experienced auto body specialists use the latest equipment and techniques to return vehicles back to their original condition. We’ll collaborate directly with your insurance provider, and we’ll manage all the tedious paperwork on your behalf. 

 

All hail damage is unique. Some vehicles may only require paintless dent repair while others need extensive, structural bodywork. We always assess each vehicle on a case-by-case basis to decide the best course of action moving forward. You can rest assured knowing we have your best interests at heart, no matter the extent of your needs. 

 

The first step in our hail damage repair process is a thorough, initial inspection. We’ll evaluate the scope of your vehicle’s damage and provide a detailed estimate based on our recommendations. That way, there are no surprises when it comes to the repair costs and time requirements. Our estimates are kept strictly confidential, and you’re under no obligation to work with us if you disagree with our advice. 

 

When you’re ready to get started, we’ll happily walk you through your options, explain our reasoning, coordinate with your insurance provider, and schedule a drop-off time that fits your schedule. Your exact repair time will depend on the severity of your vehicle’s hail damage.


However, minor paintless dent repair rarely takes more than a few days, and even the worst damage can often be resolved in a week or two. We’ll contact you directly once our repairs are complete so you can get back on the road as soon as possible.

You’ll need to collect and share the following information: Full names and contact details Insurance company names and policy numbers Driver’s license numbers License plate numbers Make, model, and color of the vehicles involved Tip: Take photos of the vehicles, damage, accident scene, and any injuries. Pay attention to conditions, i.e. rain, snow, sun. Provide additional information to interested parties, authorities or insurance companies to aid in their decision making. 4.

Summer is a time for road trips, beach outings, and sunny drives, but it’s also the season when your car’s paint is at the highest risk of damage. The intense heat, UV rays, and environmental contaminants can cause fading, oxidation, and deterioration of your vehicle’s exterior. Understanding the effects of summer heat on your car’s paint and taking proactive steps to protect it will help maintain its appearance and resale value. At Morrow Collision Center , we specialize in keeping your car looking its best, no matter the season. How Summer Heat Damages Your Car’s Paint UV Rays and Oxidation Just like prolonged sun exposure can harm your skin, UV rays can break down your car’s clear coat, leading to paint fading and oxidation. Over time, this exposure results in a dull and chalky appearance, making your car look older than it is. Extreme Temperatures High temperatures cause paint expansion and contraction, which can lead to cracks, peeling, and an overall weakened exterior. This damage is especially common in areas with prolonged summer heat waves. Acidic Contaminants Summer increases the presence of contaminants such as bird droppings, tree sap, and bug splatter. The heat accelerates their corrosive effects, leading to permanent stains and etching on the paint if not removed promptly. How to Protect Your Car’s Paint This Summer Regular Washing and Waxing Frequent washing removes dirt, dust, and contaminants before they can cause damage. Applying a high-quality wax or paint sealant creates a protective layer that shields your car from harmful UV rays and environmental pollutants. Park in the Shade Whenever possible, park in shaded areas, garages, or under carports to reduce direct sun exposure. Using a car cover is also a great option for long-term protection. Use Paint Protection Film or Ceramic Coating For long-lasting defense against heat and UV damage, consider applying a paint protection film or ceramic coating. These solutions provide an extra barrier against the elements, keeping your car’s paint looking pristine. Contact Morrow Collision Center to inquire more about this service. Keep Your Car Hydrated with a Spray Sealant Applying a spray sealant or detailer with UV protection between washes helps maintain a protective layer and enhances your car’s shine. Remove Contaminants Immediately Bird droppings, bug splatter, and tree sap should be cleaned off as soon as possible. Using a gentle cleaning solution and microfiber cloth prevents permanent stains and damage. The summer heat can take a serious toll on your car’s paint, but with proper care and maintenance, you can protect it from fading, oxidation, and other damage. At Morrow Collision Center , we offer professional detailing, paint protection, and repair services to keep your car looking like new. If your vehicle’s paint has suffered from the summer elements, our expert team is here to restore its beauty and shine.
