PROTECT YOUR CAR BEYOND HAIL
Hailstorms can be a major source of damage to vehicles, but they’re not the only weather-related threat. Deer collisions, falling acorns, and tree debris can also cause
significant damage to your car. Fortunately, there are ways to protect your vehicle from these unexpected hazards.
- Deer Collisions:
- Deer-vehicle collisions are a common occurrence, especially in rural areas. These collisions can cause significant damage to your car's front end, including the hood, bumper, and headlights.
- Acorns
- Falling acorns can dent your car's roof and hood. While the damage may not be as severe as a hail storm, it can still be unsightly and costly to repair.
- Tree Debris
- Tree branches and other debris can fall on your car during storms, causing dents and scratches.
The Impact of Weather-Related Damage
Weather-related damage can be both costly and inconvenient. In addition to the cost of repairs, you may also have to deal with the inconvenience of being without your car while it’s being repaired.

“A group a very professional down to earth guys! From start to finish the entire staff was more than accommodating, giving updates as they got them. These gentlemen are as professional as it gets! They take pride in their work going so far as showing the entire process and explaining it in detail. The work was flawless and fast. The entire process took less than 2 weeks.
