While we work on those dents, Integrity Auto Hail Repair ensures you have a rental car at your disposal. We offer $200-$500 rental reimbursement for those who qualify.

We'll deliver your freshly repaired vehicle, giving you a moment to admire the transformation. Every aspect of our work comes with a lifetime warranty, but more than that, we thrive on having satisfied customers.
How Does Paintless Dent Repair & Removal Work?
At Integrity Auto Hail Repair, our skilled auto paintless dent removal specialists employ a proprietary process, custom dent removal tools, specialized techniques, and decades of experience to gently remove and repair dents and dings caused by hail.
We access the underside of the hail-damaged panels through various points on your vehicle, massaging and flexing the metal until it returns to its original shape.
This process, known as "paintless dent removal" (PDR), ensures that no paint damage occurs during the hail damage repair process.
All major insurance companies have adopted paintless dent removal or paintless dent repair as the standard and best practice for dent removal and repairing hail damaged vehicles, regardless of the number of dents and dings.
Insurance companies are a major reason for the widespread popularity of paintless dent removal (PDR) since the method is more effective and also maintains the vehicle’s original factory paint warranty.
Paintless dent removal (also referred to as paintless dent repair or PDR) has been around since the 1940s.
It first gained popularity in Europe as an innovative way to repair dents and dings on automobile production lines.
It then gained popularity in the United States in the 1980s as a more effective, less expensive method for auto hail repair and removing dents and dings from hail damaged vehicles.
Not to worry. That’s normal!
Most insurance companies will initially provide a very low evaluation for your auto hail repair, as they do not do a thorough inspection of the hail damage to your vehicle and have no incentive to do so.
Your insurance company will cover 100% of the hail damage through your comprehensive auto policy, and we will negotiate the best claim on your behalf.
Auto hail damage evaluations are subjective, and insurance companies have an incentive to provide low evaluation. Integrity is experienced in resolving and negotiating hail damage evaluation directly with your insurance company in order to ensure your hail damaged vehicle is repaired to its pre-loss condition with our paintless dent removal.
We do NOT recommend that. You might see an advertisement for a “Dent Removal Kit” or other do-it-yourself methods to remove dents from your vehicle requiring a plunger, hair dryer, or dry ice. These auto hail dent removal methods are generally ineffective and can often do more damage to your vehicle’s body and paint.
All major insurance companies have adopted paintless dent repair as the standard and best practice for repairing vehicles with dents and dings caused by hail. Since the PDR process removes dents and eliminates the need for repainting, the manufacturer’s paint warranty is not voided.
Additionally, Integrity’s paintless dent removal process is guaranteed with a comprehensive hail damage warranty.
No problem.
If you are still making payments on your vehicle with hail damage, when an auto hail claim is filed, your insurance company handling the auto hail repair claim will make the claim check payable in one of two ways: either to you and your lienholder, or to you and your auto hail repair facility for the PDR, or paintless dent repair process.
Your lienholder will require a receipt showing that all the hail damage to your vehicle has been repaired before it will endorse your insurance check. Before you call your lienholder or send the insurance check to your lienholder, call Integrity, and we will assist you with the process to avoid any delay in your auto hail repair.
Most insurance companies will reissue the insurance check in the name of you and your hail repair body shop, which means that you do not have to go through the time and hassle of dealing with your lienholder, a preference most of our customers have during paintless dent removal around.
No. Many Integrity Auto Hail Repair customers are initially hesitant to repair the dents and dings caused by hail damage on their vehicles because they think their insurance rates will increase.
However, your comprehensive auto policy covers the damage incurred by “Acts of God”, such as hail, wind, tornadoes, and other natural disasters, so paintless dent removal through Integrity is covered.
No. Metal has a memory and once the molecular structure is realigned to its original form it will stay there, and the hail dents and dings will never return.
Additionally, Integrity’s paintless dent removal process (also referred to as paintless dent repair or PDR) is guaranteed with a comprehensive hail damage warranty.
Your vehicle’s factory paint job, which is the best finish it will ever have, is preserved through paintless dent removal (also referred to as paintless dent repair or PDR). Unlike traditional methods, paintless dent removal does not involve sanding, filler or mismatched paint.
Your vehicle’s structural integrity and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts are preserved with our paintless dent repair process. Unlike traditional vehicle methods, paintless dent removal does not involve cutting out and replacing OEM parts with non-OEM parts or misalignment.
Our paintless dent removal is clean and environmentally friendly since it conserves existing parts and does not involve any spraying, chemicals, paint, adhesives or extreme temperatures. No noxious paint fumes, or volatile organic compounds, are released into the ozone during the paintless dent removal process. Additionally, the threat of paint thinners that could be washed down into the public drainage system and potentially permeate the local water supply is eliminated at our centrally-located body shop.
Paintless dent removal is faster than repair performed at a traditional body shop. Because we are highly specialized and locally owned, Integrity Hail System’s customers typically have two auto hail repair technicians working on their car at one time, and as a result, get their cars back faster than anywhere else.
Unlike conventional repair methods, our paintless dent removal in Whitewood is typically more cost effective than traditional body shop work which involves replacing and painting new parts.
