How to Spot a Dent

Hail dents smaller than a credit card are nearly invisible. A striped reflector board reveals every single one — exactly how our technicians work.

🔍 Free Dent Checker

Hail can leave dents you can't see
with the naked eye. Can you find them?

Most hail dents are tiny — nearly invisible until you use a reflector board. Try our interactive checker now.

📹 Reflector Board Technique — See How It's Done in the Field

Sweeping a striped board across the panel reveals dents by distorting the straight lines — the same technique our PDR technicians use after every hail event.

⚠️ Borderline — Send a Photo First

May or may not suit PDR depending on exact depth and paint. Always check before booking.

Dent at wheel arch — borderline PDR
?
Dent on wheel arch lip — difficult access, borderline

⚠️ Large / Deep Crease

A deeper crease is borderline — if paint is fully intact and angle isn't too sharp, PDR may still work. We need to inspect before committing.
