Tesla vehicles are extensively constructed with aluminum due to several advantages the metal has. It offers weight reduction and increased strength, though it presents some difficulties for auto-body repair. First, aluminum is harder to weld and work with than steel. More equipment and experience are required here. Second, aluminum is more prone to stretching during the repair process, which easily leads to further damage if not handled carefully. Third, aluminum can be easily corroded if not treated properly after repair.
Trust your Tesla hail damage repair to Regal Repair, a body shop company that has extensive experience in working with aluminum and expert technicians trained in aluminum repair techniques.
No repair starts without a thorough assessment of the damage. It is the key to performing perfect results in repair. The severity of hail damage determines the actions that technicians take. The damage is typically categorized into three groups:
When the hailstorm is light, only small, shallow dents are barely noticeable on cars.
Here, the damage is rather noticeable and typically leads to paint damage.
In this case, the damage is large and deep, with significant paint damage, potentially affecting multiple body panels. However, the severity of the damage determines the best repair method.
When it comes to repair methods, the widely recognized method for hail damage is paintless dent repair (PDR). This method is a specialized technique that removes dents without the need for body fillers or repainting. Thus, when the paint is intact, it is the best option to pick. Three features make this method more preferable compared to other methods.
However, not always is PDR enough to repair hail damage from the cars. Here, traditional repair options come into play. When the severity of the damage is so gross, the paint of the car has been cracked, or the dent is hard to reach, it is very difficult to remove the damage with PDR. In contrast, traditional repair methods offer body fillers to smooth out the damaged areas, sanding and priming the surface, as well as repainting the affected panels to match the original color. With these advantages, traditional repair methods complement the gaps of PDR and make repair results better.

💡 Hail damage repair can cost differently depending on the extent of the damage. The cost forms after careful consideration of the damage. If it is deep, it can be more costly.
💡 Repairing hail damage on a car hood depends on the severity of the dents. If it is not that harsh, even a DIY method is applicable; if it is deeper, then professional solutions are necessary to fix hail damage effectively. You’d better apply for experienced body repair shops. Regal Repair is your trusted partner.
💡 If only the damage is light, think about repair at home. As quality repair requires experience and advanced tools, home repair is unlikely to provide the results experienced technicians will perform.
💡 After the hail damage repair, there are several ways to check the repair. You can inspect in proper light, feel the surface, check for the color match, check for ripples, keep photos before and after, etc.
