Need Hail Repair on Your Car in Sterling?

You’ll need to have had comprehensive insurance on your vehicle at the time of the damage, of course. Generally speaking, we’re able to work with vehicles valued around 12 grand and up… because hail damage is devastating to your value, and expensive to properly repair, lower valued vehicles are often “totaled” by the insurance company. Unfortunate, but not a situation where we can help. 

There is no hard and fast rule as far as that $12K level or the year of your vehicle. A car worth $7K with light damage might be just fine. On the other hand, a brand new $30,000 ride can easily be totaled by hail.

Also considered is the level of damage. You always want to use PDR (paintless dent repair) when possible, and our techs are the best at getting it perfect and recovering your FULL value. Sometimes, hail is enormous and creates massive damage that requires new panels, cutting off roofs, bondo, paint, etc. 

Fortunately, unlike other PDR facilities, we also have a full collision shop and are able to handle everything for you in-house so you don’t have to mess with multiple companies.

Importantly, once we get involved you can rest assured you have someone on your side to deal with insurance issues and make sure you are fairly taken care of. Please be aware that simply following the recommendations of your insurance company is often a devastating mistake. (For YOU, not for THEM!)

Go ahead and take a minute to reach out. We’ve got your back on this.

No. Hail damage is a “no fault” claim… or an “Act of God”, if you will. You cannot be singled out for a rate increase simply for a hail damage claim. You’ve already paid for it, and the money is there in a pool… whether you decide to fix your car or not. Might as well get what’s yours!

We agree. It’s hard for a lot of people to believe what we’re able to do for you. Rest assured, Elite Hail Systems is not some temporary hail tent thrown up on the corner. We are definitely “the Real Deal.” We are accredited with the BBB, and you’ll find tons of 5 star reviews online. We are the ideal full service automotive hail restoration company in the state of Illinois. There’s no one better, and we’d love to help you out.

With facilities and expertise for both Paintless Dent Removal and traditional body shop repairs, we’re able to offer you a “one stop shop” to take care of absolutely everything. Brain Damage = ZERO.

Reach out right now, and let’s get this thing handled for you.

Yes. We work with all insurance companies. We not only work with them, but we are happy to file your claim, negotiate, and handle all the brain damage to make sure you get what you’re entitled to.

We make this whole thing super-easy. We get it absolutely right, and you don’t pay a dime. (Unless you have a HUGE deductible over $1000.)

Our objective is to turn you into a RAVING FAN. Let’s do this thing!

The entire process may take a good 2 or 3 weeks. Sometimes it’s much quicker if your insurance company is on the ball with their part of things, and if it’s all Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) work, without any paint or body work required.

We first get your adjuster out to our shop, where every part and panel is examined under special hail lights to make all the near-invisible damage spring to life. Then we can get an accurate measure of the damage and get the numbers right with your insurance. You don’t just want it looking good… you want ALL your value put back in your savings account. They will ok the repair, at which point we can get to work.

From the time of the approval, turnaround does depend on the level of damage that has to be dealt with on your car, and how busy we are. Typically, we’re looking at 7-10 business days. We try to reach out once or twice along the way to let you know how we’re progressing, and you’re more than welcome to reach out at any time through the process for an update.

Basically, you’ll take an hour or so, depending on travel… and start the ball rolling when you come in for your appointment. Then life happens, and before you realize it you’re driving what feels like a brand new car again. You recover the full value of your ride, and no longer have to worry about the risk of losing $8,000 or so at any moment because of the pre-existing damage.

No time like the present… reach out, and let’s get this thing done for you.

Yeah. That would be one of the tougher parts of things… getting past the knee-jerk reactions from too many years of too many nightmare situations and too many stories about too many less than scrupulous operations. We get it.

At the end of the day, though… unless your deductible is higher than $1,000… YOU PAY ZERO. And we really get it right. No tricks. No games. Unlike an insurance company’s “Preferred Vendors”, (which we refuse to become)… We’re truly “on your side”. It makes all the difference.

There’s really too much at stake here to just toss up a “Hail Mary” and hope for the best. The most reliable play? Just give us the ball and we’ll run with it. You’ll be very happy.
