Hail damage does not get worse over time, so take a breath. Your car is safe to drive — the dents are cosmetic, not structural. You have time to handle this the right way instead of the fast way. But there are a few things worth doing in the next day or two that will make your insurance claim go smoothly.
Start with photos while the damage is fresh. Walk around the car and shoot the hood, roof, trunk, and both sides. Use your phone's flashlight held at a low angle — the same principle our LED line boards use. If your car was parked at a CityCenter garage, a driveway near Prairie Star Parkway, or an open lot off I-435, mention that when you call us. Where the car was parked helps us estimate severity before we even see it.
Paintless dent repair is the industry standard for hail, and it is not a shortcut. Paintless dent repair preserves your factory paint, avoids body filler entirely, and keeps your CARFAX clean. A body shop approach — sand, fill, repaint — leaves a permanent record that shows up on vehicle history reports and reduces trade-in value. For hail specifically, paintless dent repair produces a better result in less time.
Talk to us before you talk to your insurer. We'll look at your photos, tell you whether filing makes sense based on your deductible, and give you a word-for-word script to read when you call Farmers, State Farm, or whichever carrier you have. The inspection is free, the advice is honest, and there is zero pressure to commit to anything.

The total repair cost depends on how many dents your vehicle has and whether it has aluminum body panels, which require a different technique. Here's what the ranges usually look like.
Most Hail Solutions customers pay nothing out of pocket. Comprehensive insurance covers the repair minus your deductible, and deductible assistance is available on qualifying claims. The more relevant question for most people isn't what the repair costs — it's whether their claim will be handled correctly so insurance covers the full amount. That's what we spend most of our time on.
Hail claims fall under comprehensive coverage, which is almost always treated as no-fault. In most cases, filing doesn't affect your premium — but the specifics vary by carrier, and we can walk you through your situation.
Read the full answer →First estimates routinely miss 20 to 40 percent of dents. That's the normal way the process works — not an adversarial one. We document every dent under LED lighting and submit a supplement in the format your insurer already uses.
How supplements work →No. Missouri and Kansas both have anti-steering laws that protect your right to choose your own repair facility. Your insurer can suggest, but they cannot require.
Know your rights →Most people have never looked at their car for hail damage before a storm hits. Here's what to look for and what the different severity levels mean for your repair and your claim.
Dime to nickel in size. Hard to see in direct sunlight, but obvious under the LED line boards we use during inspection. This is the most common kind of damage after a typical Kansas City storm, and it's almost always worth filing a comprehensive claim for.
Nickel to quarter sized. Visible without special lighting. The hood, roof, and trunk take the worst of it. You may also see paint cracking along sharp body lines, which is worth photographing for the claim.
Quarter sized and larger. Some insurers may flag this as a potential total loss based on their first estimate. We've restored vehicles at this severity level that other shops were prepared to write off — if your insurer suggests totaling the car, call us for a second opinion before you accept anything.
Not sure what you're looking at? Send us a few photos — we'll tell you within the hour. No charge, no obligation.
Real results — before and after
Factory paint preserved. No filler, no repainting, no CARFAX flag. Every vehicle below was restored at our Olathe shop using paintless dent repair — the same process we use on every car from Lenexa.
Most Lenexa hail claims are worth filing, but not all of them. If your car sat in a covered CityCenter garage during the storm, you might have gotten lucky with only a few dents on the rear quarter — and that might not clear your deductible. If it was parked in an open lot near Lackman Park or along 95th Street, the damage is probably heavier and well worth filing for. This tool runs the math for your specific situation in about thirty seconds.
These figures reflect typical ranges for the vehicle mix we see from Lenexa — mid-size SUVs, work trucks from the Kiewit and UPS corridors, and commuter sedans. Actual cost depends on dent count, panel material, and your carrier's coverage terms.
You will spend about fifteen minutes on this — one phone call to your carrier and one key handoff. The full timeline from first contact to finished repair runs two to four weeks for most Lenexa customers. The repair itself takes one to three shop days; the rest is insurance processing. Here is every step, broken down by how much of your time it actually requires.
By phone or through the website. We ask about your vehicle, your insurance carrier, and when the storm hit. This takes about three minutes.
Either at your location or at our Olathe shop. We use LED line boards to map every dent, panel by panel, and write the estimate in CCC ONE format — the system your insurer already uses.
We give you a word-for-word script to read when you call your carrier. This is the only phone call you need to make.
We meet with the adjuster, submit the supplement documentation when the first estimate comes in low (it usually does), and work to get the repair amount right. This is where most of our work happens.
Free anywhere in the Kansas City metro. We come to your house, your office, or your dealer lot. If your policy covers a rental, we help coordinate that too.
Bryan and the team work every panel by hand. Factory paint preserved. No body filler, no repainting. Repair takes one to three days for most vehicles.
Clean, inspected, and looking like the storm never happened. Lifetime warranty on our work, in writing.
Bryan Wilson started Hail Solutions in 2002, and Lenexa has been part of the weekly pickup rotation from day one. The shop is seven miles south in Olathe, right off Kansas City Road. Over twenty-three years and more than five thousand vehicles, Bryan has built the kind of repeat-customer base that only comes from doing the work correctly and being around to stand behind it — Lenexa families who came in after the June 2024 storm had neighbors who came in after the storms before that.
Every hail season, temporary operators set up around the Lenexa CityCenter corridor and vanish within weeks. They offer fast turnarounds and aggressive pricing, but they do not offer a permanent address or a warranty you can actually use. Hail Solutions has been at the same location for two decades. If a question comes up six months later — and they rarely do — we are a short drive away at the same shop, with the same phone number.
Lenexa is one of our shortest pickup routes. Falcon Valley, Canyon Creek, Four Colonies, the office parks along College Boulevard — we cover the entire city and deliver back to you when the repair is finished, at no charge.
This is what most Hail Solutions customers come to us for — standard paintless dent repair for hail-damaged vehicles. We inspect every panel under LED line boards, document the damage in CCC ONE format so your insurer can process it quickly, coordinate the entire repair, and pick up and deliver your vehicle for free anywhere in the metro. The repair preserves your factory paint, keeps your CARFAX clean, and comes with a lifetime warranty.

Aluminum body panels — F-150s, Teslas, Rivians, and most luxury European imports — require a different technique than standard steel. Most shops in the metro either don't offer aluminum repair or farm it out to a third party, which adds a week to your timeline. We do it in-house using heat-assisted paintless dent repair and the glue-pull method, with pricing clearly documented and disclosed up front.

Dealer lots, rental fleets, and corporate vehicle programs get handled differently than individual claims. We offer catastrophe-team deployment for storm response, wholesale paintless dent repair pricing on multi-vehicle jobs, dealer-lot triage, and net-30 invoicing. If you manage a fleet and need a straightforward conversation about capacity, give us a call.

Near-total-loss saves are a specialty. We've restored vehicles with more than 300 dents that insurance estimators were ready to write off. Between knowing the total-loss math for Missouri (80%) and Kansas (75%) and how to build an accurate supplement, we often save customers a vehicle they thought they'd lost.
Learn more about severe hail damage repair →Our shop is in Olathe, seven miles south of Lenexa on Kansas City Road. We've been repairing hail-damaged vehicles for Lenexa customers since we opened — it's one of our most frequent pickup routes.
We come to Falcon Valley, Canyon Creek, Four Colonies, Lackman Park, and everywhere else in the city. Whether your car is parked in a CityCenter garage, a driveway off Prairie Star Parkway, or an open lot near I-435, we pick up and deliver for free.
Repair cost depends on how many dents your vehicle has and whether it has aluminum body panels. Light damage (50 to 100 dents) generally runs $1,500 to $3,500. Moderate damage (100 to 300 dents) runs $3,500 to $8,000. Severe damage (more than 300 dents) runs $8,000 to $15,000 or more. Aluminum body panels add roughly 25% to each range because of the specialized technique required.
The bigger question for most Lenexa customers isn't the total repair cost — it's whether insurance will cover it. In most cases, comprehensive coverage pays for the full repair minus your deductible, and deductible assistance is available on qualifying claims. Many of our customers pay nothing out of pocket. Here's how the deductible math works.
Lenexa is seven miles from our Olathe shop, and it is one of our most frequent pickup routes. We pick up from driveways, office parking lots, dealer lots — anywhere in the city. Delivery back to you when the repair is finished is included and free. There is no reason to drive your vehicle to us or to arrange a rental shuttle.
Farmers and State Farm have the largest market share in Lenexa, followed by Progressive, GEICO, and American Family. We work with all of them regularly. Each carrier has its own habits around how they handle the first estimate, what they expect in a supplement, and how fast they approve the final repair amount. We've learned each one's pattern and use that knowledge to keep claims moving.
If you know your carrier and want to see exactly how we recommend filing with them, our carrier-specific guides walk through the exact script, the claims phone number, and what to expect at each step.
The full process from first contact to keys back in your hand usually takes two to four weeks. About half of that is spent waiting on insurance — the first estimate, the supplement approval, and any back-and-forth around what the carrier will pay for. The actual repair itself takes one to three shop days for most vehicles, up to a week for severe damage. During the process, you make one phone call and hand us the keys. Everything else is on us.
June 2024 brought one-inch hail across much of Lenexa. April 2025 brought significant thunderstorm winds, but without major hail. Customers are still working through those June 2024 claims — it is not unusual for a claim to take several months to settle if the first estimate came back low and required a supplement. If you haven't filed yet or your insurer underpaid the initial estimate, that is exactly the situation a supplement solves. Here is how the supplement process works.
