Hail Damage Repair
Paintless dent repair and factory refinishing that remove every trace of hail damage.
Why AMA Prestige?
A hailstorm can leave dozens of dents across a bonnet, roof and boot lid in minutes. On a prestige vehicle those dents sit in large, reflective panels where every imperfection shows—and many of those panels are aluminium, which needs a different approach to steel. Our hail damage repair maps every dent before work begins, so nothing is missed.
Where the paint is intact, paintless dent repair removes dents from behind the panel and keeps your factory finish. Where hail has cracked the paint or stretched the metal too far, we repair and refinish the panel with manufacturer-approved colour systems. We document the damage for your insurer and keep you updated from assessment to handover.

Frequently Asked Questions
Every hail claim is different—hail size, the number of dents, panel material and paint condition all shape the repair. These FAQs cover insurance, paintless repair, write-offs, aluminium panels and timeframes. To get started, submit an online assessment with photos of the damage.
Is hail damage covered by car insurance?
Comprehensive car insurance generally covers hail damage, while third-party policies usually don’t. Cover, excess and choice of repairer vary between insurers, so check your policy. We work with insurers and provide the documentation they need to assess your claim.
How do you repair hail damage on a car?
Most hail dents are removed with paintless dent repair: specialist tools push the metal back into shape from behind the panel without paint or filler. Panels with cracked paint, sharp dents or stretched metal are repaired conventionally and refinished in your factory colour.
Can hail damage be repaired without repainting?
Usually, if the paint hasn’t cracked. Paintless repair keeps your original factory finish, which avoids unnecessary refinishing. We’ll tell you which panels qualify after inspection.
How much hail damage writes off a car?
Your insurer decides, by comparing the cost of repair with the vehicle’s insured or market value. Our detailed, itemised quote gives them an accurate picture of what the repair involves. Read more about insurance claims for prestige car repairs.
Can you repair hail damage on aluminium panels?
Yes. Aluminium is lighter and stiffer than steel and has less ‘memory’, so dents need a slower, more controlled approach. We use methods and tools suited to aluminium, and refinish where a paintless repair isn’t achievable.
How long does hail damage repair take?
It depends on the number and size of dents, how many panels need refinishing and parts availability. Demand rises across the industry after major storms. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe after assessment and keep you updated throughout.
