Many times with hail damage there is also windshield damages. Linear Automotive also provides windshield repairs and replacements. We will fix the small chips, but if safety warrants, then the entire glass will be replaced. Your windshield is an integral part of the vehicle’s structure. It provides structural strength to your car body, helps keep passengers inside the car in the event of an accident, and supports the proper performance of the vehicle airbags.
Linear Automotive provides certified technicians to perform PDR or Paintless Dent Removal on hail damaged vehicles. It is a specialized process for removing dents without the use of sanding, bondo or paint in the removal process of the dents. PDR is the most cost efficient method of dent repair available. Painting a single door (even for a very small dent) will cost hundreds of dollars. With Paintless Dent Removal, you will pay a fraction of the price for your dent repair. We reshape the metal without affecting the original factory finish of your auto and the dent will be invisible and look like nothing ever happened. A vehicle with original paint always retains a higher value than a repainted vehicle. Specialized tools used for PDR include metal rods and body picks to massage out the dents from behind or underside of the dent location. When damaged areas are not accessible from behind the dent there are additional tools that can be used such as the use of special glue and tabs used in conjunction with a dent lifter that pulls or pops out the dent from the front surface.
Smoothing out the area requires a lot of patience and uses a special hammer and tappers to take down the edges and high spots to level out the dent. Sometimes even heat or cold and a variety of other tools may be used for the dent removal. Linear Automotive has certified top workmanship skills in PDR to restore your vehicle back to pre-damaged condition. If you decide to stay while your auto is being repaired, our customers enjoy a comfortable waiting area with a billiard table, large TV, computer stations, a kitchen, and comfortable seating.
