Restore Your Vehicle After Storm Damage and Collisions

Collision and hail damage repair services in Harrisburg, Arkansas that remove dents, repair body damage, restore appearance, and protect your vehicle’s value after an accident or severe weather.

Driving in Harrisburg can come with unexpected damage—from sudden hailstorms to minor fender benders and major collision repairs. Hail can leave your vehicle covered in dozens of small dents across the hood, roof, and trunk, while accidents can cause visible damage like scrapes, cracked bumpers, bent panels, and misaligned body parts. No matter the cause, damage to your vehicle affects both appearance and resale value. Simons Tire & Auto provides reliable auto body repair services to help restore your vehicle back to pre-damage condition.


For hail-related dents, we offer paintless dent repair (PDR) whenever possible. This technique allows us to carefully remove dents from the inside of the panel without repainting, which helps preserve your factory finish and maintain the value of your vehicle. For collision damage, our team can repair or replace damaged body panels, address cosmetic imperfections, and restore the overall look and structure of your vehicle. We focus on quality craftsmanship and attention to detail so your vehicle looks clean, smooth, and professionally repaired.


We also provide insurance claim assistance to make the repair process easier. Our team can help document damage, communicate with your insurance company, and guide you through the next steps so you can get back on the road with less stress.


If your vehicle has been damaged by hail, an accident, or another unexpected event, contact Simons Tire & Auto to schedule an inspection and begin the repair process as soon as possible.

How Hail and Collision Repair Restores Appearance and Protects Value

We start by fully documenting the damage on your vehicle—whether it’s hail-related dents or collision damage—and creating a repair plan that covers every affected panel. Using bright inspection lighting and precision tools, we carefully access the backside of each panel and apply controlled pressure to restore the metal to its original shape whenever possible. In Harrisburg, hail repairs often take several days to complete due to the sheer number of dents, and collision repairs may take additional time depending on the severity of the impact and which parts need to be repaired or replaced. To ensure every area is properly addressed, we may remove trim pieces, lights, and interior panels as needed.


After repairs are complete, your vehicle will look clean, smooth, and well-maintained again. Hail dents across the hood, roof, and trunk will be removed, and collision-related damage such as dents, scrapes, or panel misalignment will be corrected. The goal is to restore your vehicle’s appearance and protect its resale value by eliminating visible damage and returning the body to a pre-damage condition without unnecessary repainting or body filler whenever possible.


We also assist with the insurance process by handling paperwork and communicating directly with your adjuster to help keep the claim moving smoothly. If an estimate is required before repairs can be approved, we provide one at no charge. Please note that this service does not include windshield replacement or paint repair for hail damage that has cracked the clear coat. The next section covers the most common questions drivers ask about hail damage, collision repairs, and insurance claims.

Answers to Common Concerns About Hail and Collision Repair Claims

Drivers in Harrisburg often want to know how long hail repairs take, whether insurance covers the work, and what happens if new hail damage occurs after the repair. These questions help you understand the process and plan accordingly. In addition, many drivers also ask how collision repairs are handled, what the timeline looks like after an accident, and how insurance coverage applies to body damage and repairs. Having clear answers upfront makes it easier to move forward, stay informed, and avoid surprises during the repair and claims process.

How long does hail damage and collision repair take?

The time depends on the type and severity of the damage, how many panels are affected, and whether any parts need to be repaired or replaced. Most hail repairs take three to seven days, though severe storm damage can take longer depending on the number of dents and the areas impacted. Collision repairs can range from a few days for minor damage to a week or longer for more extensive repairs, especially if parts need to be ordered or multiple panels require work. We’ll provide a clear timeline after we inspect your vehicle.

Will my insurance cover hail damage and collision repair?

Most auto insurance policies cover hail damage and collision repairs, depending on your coverage and deductible. Hail damage is typically covered under comprehensive insurance, while accident-related repairs are usually covered under collision coverage. We work directly with your insurance company to document the damage, provide an estimate, and help ensure the claim is approved before we begin repairs.

What if my vehicle has too many dents to count?

We use a grid system to count and document every dent on each panel. Even if your vehicle has hundreds of dents, we work through them methodically until every panel is restored.
Can hail damage be repaired if the paint is chipped?
Paintless dent repair only works if the paint is intact. If hail has chipped or cracked the paint, those areas will need touch-up paint or traditional bodywork in addition to the dent removal.
What happens if my vehicle gets hail damage again after the repair?
Each hailstorm is treated as a separate insurance claim, and we can repair new damage the same way. Hail damage does not return on its own once the dents are removed.

Simons Tire & Auto has the equipment and experience to handle both severe hail damage and collision repairs, and we work directly with insurance companies to make the process as straightforward as possible. If your vehicle was damaged in a hailstorm or involved in an accident in Harrisburg, bring it in so we can assess the damage and begin restoring your vehicle’s appearance and condition.
