Can it be done without painting?

Yes, if the paint is not damaged. This keeps the factory finish.

Does the headliner have to come out to fix the roof?

Often, yes. We reach roof dents through openings under the headliner. We take it down carefully and refit it on its original clips.

Will a buyer be able to tell the car had hail repair?

After PDR the factory paint stays, so a thickness gauge reads factory values. Repainted panels do show up on a gauge, so we avoid painting wherever we can.

What should I do right after a hailstorm?

Photograph the car from all sides in daylight. Check the glass and lights. If you're insured, call the company before any repair.

Hail Damage Repair in Batumi — PDR

Hail damage repair at PRO SERVICE (Batumi, Airport Highway 212): we remove dents by paintless dent repair (PDR), and paint the panels where the paint has cracked. The estimate is based on the number and size of dents per panel. Price — from … GEL, turnaround — 2-5 days.

How we assess

We go over the body under bright light and count dents per panel: hood, roof, fenders, doors, trunk. We check their size too. More dents, higher price. Photos on WhatsApp … give a rough estimate.

PDR or painting

Paint intact: PDR. We push the dents out from behind and the factory paint stays.
Paint cracked or chipped — panel beating and painting the part: hood, roof.
Deep creases on body lines: PDR won't work, so it's panel beating.

Often one car gets both.

What we check besides the dents

Roof, hood and trunk lid — the horizontal panels take most of the impact.
Moldings, roof rails, sunroof and its seal — can crack or shift.
Headlights, tail lights, mirror housings, plastic grilles — cracks and chips.
Windshield — chips and cracks from large hailstones.

Small dents on a light car are almost invisible in normal light. We use a directed lamp.

What affects the price

Number and size of dents on each panel.
Where they sit: on a body line, at a panel edge or over a brace with no access from inside.
Headliner, lights or sunroof that must come out to reach the metal.
Panel material: aluminum hoods and roofs are harder to work than steel.
How many panels need paint because the finish cracked.

Why it is better not to wait

Large hailstones can leave hairline cracks in the paint that are hard to spot. Batumi's humid air starts rust in them, and a panel that could have been fixed paintlessly ends up needing paint. The sooner the dents are inspected, the more panels keep their factory finish.
