Start with the roof, hood & trunk
Hail falls straight down, so horizontal panels take the worst of it. Most of the dents on a hail car are up top.

Self-Check Guide
Is Your Car Hail Damaged?
Hail dents are easy to miss in bright Arizona sun. Here's what to look for — and what different hail sizes usually do to a vehicle.
Hail size vs. vehicle damage
Pea (¼")
Usually cosmetic — check glass and trim.
Quarter (1")
NWS severe threshold. Dents on hood, roof, and trunk.
Ping pong (1½")
Deep, widespread dents. Cracked lights and mirrors possible.
Golf ball (1¾")
Heavy panel damage, glass breakage, and paint cracks — the size that hit north Phoenix.
Baseball (2¾")
Severe damage — some panels may need replacement.
Look at the panels at an angle
Small dents hide in direct sun. Check in the shade or at dusk and watch for warped reflections in the paint.
Check rails, mirrors & trim
Roof rails, mirror caps, and moldings dent easily and are often missed on quick drive-through inspections.
Inspect glass, lights & sunroof
Chips and cracks spread with Arizona's heat swings. Glass damage is usually part of the same hail claim.
Not sure what you're looking at?
Our technicians check every panel under PDR lights — free and with no obligation.

Paintless Dent Repair
Dents Out. Factory Paint Stays.
Paintless dent repair (PDR) is the go-to fix for hail. Our technicians read each dent under specialized lights, then use precision rods to massage the metal back into shape from behind the panel — no sanding, filler, or repaint.
- Keeps your factory paint — no sanding, filler, or repainting
- Most hail cars are done in days, not weeks
- Protects resale and trade-in value
- Insurance-approved method for hail damage
When PDR isn't enough
Cracked paint, torn metal, or very sharp dents need conventional repair. We handle that too — with Sherwin-Williams certified color matching and OEM parts — all under the same claim.

Hail is a comprehensive claim
Hail falls under comprehensive coverage, not collision — it isn't treated as an at-fault accident.
You choose the shop in Arizona
Arizona insurance rules don't let your insurer require you to use a specific repair shop. Their preferred list is a suggestion, not a rule.
Storm-chaser claims get scrutinized
Out-of-state storm chasers can vanish after the season. We're a real, warrantied shop that stands behind every repair.

Skip the Storm Chasers
A Hail Shop That's Still Here Next Season
The National Insurance Crime Bureau warns drivers about out-of-town contractors who show up after hailstorms. Here's why Valley drivers choose us instead.
Here for the whole Valley
Storm chasers set up in parking lots and leave after the season. Our Phoenix-area operation and warranty stay put long after the October 21 storm is old news.
Ready for monsoon season
Monsoon supercells build fast over the Valley. Our mobile unit is staged locally, so inspections start the day the hail stops — not when an out-of-town crew rolls in.
Lifetime limited warranty
Every hail repair is backed by our lifetime limited warranty, honored across the Valley.

Hail Repair FAQ
Questions Phoenix Drivers Ask
Does car insurance cover hail damage in Arizona?
Yes, if you carry comprehensive coverage. Hail is a comprehensive claim, so you pay your comprehensive deductible and your insurer covers the rest of the approved repair. Liability-only policies don't cover hail damage to your own vehicle.
Will a hail claim raise my insurance rates?
Hail is a not-at-fault, comprehensive claim, and many insurers treat weather losses differently than at-fault accidents. Rate practices vary by company, so ask your agent — but don't let worry about rates leave hail damage unrepaired.
Do I have to use my insurance company's preferred shop?
No. Under Arizona's insurance rules, your insurer can't require you to use a specific repair shop. Tell your adjuster you'd like Xtreme Collision to do the work and we'll coordinate directly with them.
How soon after the October 21 storm should I file?
As soon as you can. Most policies require prompt notice of a loss, and filing early gets you to the front of the line before Valley shops and adjusters book up after a big storm.
Can your mobile unit come to my home or work?
Yes. Our mobile unit does free hail inspections at homes and workplaces across Phoenix, Glendale, Peoria, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, and the surrounding Valley. Light damage can often be repaired on-site.
What is paintless dent repair (PDR)?
PDR is a technique where trained technicians use specialized rods and lighting to massage dents out from behind the panel. Because there's no sanding, filler, or repainting, your factory paint stays intact and repairs are much faster than conventional bodywork.
Is it worth fixing small hail dents?
Usually, yes. Unrepaired hail damage lowers trade-in value, small paint cracks can lead to rust, and insurers may exclude panels with prior unrepaired damage from a future claim.
Do you handle hail-damaged glass and windshields?
Yes. The October 21 storm shattered windshields and windows across the Valley. Cracked and pitted glass is part of the same claim, so we inspect all glass alongside the body panels and include it in one estimate.
