Whittier’s Trusted Hail Damage Repair Specialists

Southern California’s hail season runs primarily from November through April, when Pacific storm systems push through Los Angeles County and surrounding areas including Whittier, Covina, and the San Gabriel Valley. While SoCal hail events are less frequent than those in the Midwest, a single storm can produce hailstones large enough to dent hoods, roofs, trunk lids, and quarter panels across an entire vehicle. Left unrepaired, hail dents can accelerate rust, compromise paint integrity, and reduce your vehicle’s resale value by thousands of dollars.

Auto Collision Group’s Whittier facility is staffed by manufacturer-certified technicians trained to assess and repair every type of hail damage — from minor surface dimpling to deep dents requiring panel replacement. We serve drivers throughout Whittier, Los Angeles, Gardena, Santa Ana, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Covina, and beyond.

Our Hail Damage Repair Process

Every hail damage repair at Auto Collision Group begins with a free, detailed inspection. Our technicians document every dent and paint defect, then determine the most effective and cost-efficient repair method for your vehicle. We never recommend unnecessary work — and we never use aftermarket parts.

Depending on the extent of damage, your repair will follow one of two certified paths:

• Paintless Dent Repair (PDR): For hail dents where paint remains intact, our PDR technicians use precision tools to massage dents back to factory shape from behind the panel — no filler, no repainting, no compromise to your factory finish. PDR repairs typically complete in 1–3 days.
• Full Panel Repair & OEM Refinishing: For severe hail damage where paint is cracked, chipped, or panels are creased beyond PDR limits, we replace or repair panels using OEM parts and finish with factory-matched paint. All refinishing work is covered by our lifetime written warranty.

We Handle Your Insurance Claim — Start to Finish

Hail damage is covered under the comprehensive portion of most auto insurance policies, meaning it typically does not affect your collision rates. However, insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts by approving only aftermarket or used parts — which can void your vehicle’s factory warranty and compromise structural safety.

Auto Collision Group works directly with all major insurance carriers serving Whittier, including State Farm, Geico, Allstate, Progressive, Farmers, USAA, AAA, Mercury, 21st Century, and Nationwide. Our team of insurance advocates manages every step of your claim, fighting to ensure your repair is approved for OEM parts and the full scope of certified labor. You should never have to choose between a fair repair and a fast settlement.

Our tagline says it plainly: “We Fight For You. Not The Insurance Company.”
