Discover the Artistry in Hail Damage Restoration and Forge Pathways to New Market Opportunities

Each year, severe hailstorms wreak havoc across the nation, leaving vehicles pockmarked with dents ranging from quarter to golf ball-sized on their panels. In response, insurance companies globally have recognized Paintless Dent Repair as not merely a “viable alternative” to conventional auto body repair but as the “preferred method” of restoration. Hail Repair Training focuses on this innovative approach to traditional auto body repair.
