Hail hits your market
Your sold customers hear from your store first, by text, email, and phone. Not from a tent. Every car that rolls through your service drive is scanned for hail as it arrives.
$900,000
average revenue per storm event generated for our dealer partners
35–40
average new repairs per month with no storm events
$50Ba year in severe-storm insurance losses in the US, three years running. Hail is the biggest piece of it.
The shift
Hail is no longer a once-a-decade event. It is a permanent, multibillion-dollar line of business. State Farm alone paid $5.6 billion in hail claims last year, and $1.4 billion of it was in Texas, more than any other state.
A large share of those claims are cars, and every one of those cars belongs to someone's customer. Very little of that money touches a dealership. It goes to whoever gets to the customer first, and right now that is a tent in a parking lot.
The dealerships that own this will own their customers through every storm. The rest will keep handing them to strangers.
The broken industry
Thousands of burger stands. No McDonald's.
The hail repair industry has never had a trusted brand. It runs on pop-up tents, door-to-door pitches, and crews that leave town when the dents are gone. Reported contractor fraud is up 38% in two years. After every Texas storm, the Attorney General and the Better Business Bureau warn drivers about hail "deals," and the news covers shops that closed with customers' cars still inside.
So most people do nothing. By our count, only about 3 in 10 hail-damaged vehicles ever get repaired. Owners do not know how easy the claim is, and they do not know who to trust with the car.
Nobody has built the trusted, repeatable system for hail. That is what we built, and we built it to run inside the one business a car owner already trusts: the dealership that sold them the car.
Why hail repair belongs to dealerships
The new model
The Dealership Hail Program, in four moves.
You do not need to know anything about hail. Here is the whole thing, start to finish.
2
The customer comes to you
They get a free inspection on your drive, a written estimate, and a claim filed for them by our claims team. They sign one repair authorization on your store's form and drive home. We handle the claim paperwork with the insurance company from there.
3
We repair it at your store
Master-certified technicians repair the car on your lot, usually in a few days. A rental is arranged when their policy covers it. They get updates every day, all from your dealership.
4
You get paid
The insurance check comes to your store. You keep the share set in your contract, plus parts sold from your counter and detail work your team performs. You pay us weekly, only from checks that have cleared. Then the customer leaves a review naming your store.
In plain English
A hail claim is just an insurance claim for dents. The customer's insurance pays for the repair. Today that money goes to whoever fixes the car. With the program, that is your store.
What we install
Everything the program needs, brought by us.
Nothing here touches your existing staff, payroll, or process. It runs beside your operation, in your name.
- A professional claims teamOur claims administrators file every claim, work with the insurance company's inspector (the adjuster), and document the difference with photos when the insurer's first repair price is short. Your advisors do not have to talk to an insurance company.
- Master-certified techniciansPaintless dent repair specialists who work the dents out from behind the panel. The factory paint stays. Nothing gets repainted. Most cars are done in a few days.
- Hail scanning in your service driveA drive-through scanner photographs every panel on every car that comes in for service and flags possible hail damage for a technician to confirm. Your service lane becomes the front door to the program.
- Storm outreach to your customer baseWhen hail crosses your market, your sold customers get a text, an email, and a call from your store with a booked inspection. Before the tents go up.
- AI-powered operationsOur software drafts the estimates, tracks every claim, sends the customer updates, and builds the paperwork. A person reviews and signs every estimate before it goes to an insurer. Software does the busywork. That is how a small team runs hundreds of claims.
- Customer care in your nameA repair experience manager calls every customer before, during, and after the repair, coordinates rentals, and asks for the review at the right moment. Every message carries your dealership's name.
- Lot repairs after a stormThe same crews and claims team handle your inventory: walk the lot, file the claim on your open-lot policy (the one that covers your stock), and repair units on site so they are back on the front line fast.
- Statements you can verify in minutesA one-page statement for every settled repair and a weekly packet matched to the insurance checks that actually arrived. Our fee is its own line. We never deduct it before you see the number.
Zero disruption
Your staff keeps doing their jobs. We bring ours.
No new hires on your payroll. No new software for your team to learn. No bays taken from your technicians. We work out of a corner of the lot or the service lane, with our own people, our own tools, and our own claims desk. Your advisors hand off a customer with hail and get a thank-you and, if your program includes one, a commission. That is the whole change to their day.
How the money works
The insurance company pays. Your store keeps its share.
Here is the whole money flow, in one place.
What you never pay
- No deposit and no set-up fee.
- No equipment, software, or inventory.
- No new headcount on your payroll.
- Nothing to DHR until an insurance check has cleared.
What DHR carries
- The claim, from the first call to the final check.
- The people: claims team, technicians, customer care.
- Technician pay, parts, and paperwork costs until the insurer pays.
- The software and the follow-up.
How the money moves
- Every repair is written on your repair order, under your name.
- The insurance check comes to your store.
- For covered claims, you keep the share set in your contract, plus parts from your counter and detail work your team performs.
- You pay DHR weekly, only from checks that have cleared. Our fee is its own line on the statement.
The store's share is set per rooftop in the agreement and put in writing before the first claim. On our flagship store's first storm event, the program wrote $900,000 in gross hail repair revenue on the store's repair orders. DHR is a contracted repair partner working under each customer's signed authorization. We are not public adjusters and we never waive deductibles.
A safe option for your customers
The tent, or the dealership that sold them the car.
What the tent offers
- A stranger at the door or a sign in a parking lot.
- A "waived deductible," which means padding the insurer's bill. That is insurance fraud in Texas.
- A warranty that lasts until the tent leaves town.
- Nobody to call when something is wrong.
What your store offers
- A free inspection on the drive they already know.
- A claim filed for them, and $0 out of pocket beyond their deductible for qualifying repairs, subject to insurer approval.
- Master-certified paintless dent repair, factory paint untouched, with a lifetime paintless dent repair warranty in writing, per program terms.
- A rental when their policy covers it, updates every day, and a service advisor they can call by name.
Why they come back
Owners who service at the dealership are far more likely to buy their next car there: 74% versus 44% for those who don't (Cox Automotive, 2025). A hail repair handled well is a service visit the customer never forgets.
Proof it works
Built in one store. Signed by three.
The program launched inside a Fort Worth franchise store in May 2026, six weeks after a major storm and after the tents had already worked the market. Since then: more than 200 repairs, over seven figures in revenue, more than 20 insurance companies handled, and zero negative customer surveys. All of it with zero operational lift from the dealer. Months later, with no new storm, the store still books 35 to 40 new repairs a month from its own customer base.
Two more DFW franchise stores signed in August and September, and their installs are underway. Every number we publish comes from a signed statement or a filed claim. We do not publish projections.

Our mission
Make hail repair synonymous with dealerships.
When a customer gets hail, we want their first thought to be the dealership that sold them the car. The same way it is for an oil change. That is good for the customer, good for the store, and bad for the tents.
- We believe hail repair belongs to the brand the customer already trusts.
- We believe a system beats a storm chaser, every storm, in every town.
- We believe the dealer should get paid for the customers it already earned.
- We believe the customer should never hand their keys to someone who will not be here next month.
Questions a dealer principal asks
Straight answers, before the walkthrough.
I know nothing about hail. Does that matter?
No. That is the point of the program. You do not hire a hail expert, learn insurance, or train anyone. We bring the claims team, the technicians, the customer care, and the software. Your job is to say yes and give us a corner of the lot. If you want the basics anyway, read Hail 101. It takes five minutes.
What does it cost the store to start?
Nothing. No deposit, no set-up fee, no equipment, no software, no new payroll. DHR is paid after the insurance company pays, out of the settled repair. The store's share is set in writing in the agreement before the first claim.
Will this disrupt my service department?
No. We work out of a corner of the lot or the service lane with our own people and tools. Your technicians keep their bays. Your advisors keep their process. The only change to their day is handing off a customer with hail, and earning a commission for it if your program includes one.
Are you public adjusters?
No. DHR is a contracted repair partner working under each customer's signed repair authorization. We document and defend the repair estimate with the insurance company, the way any repair facility does. We do not represent the policyholder in a dispute and we never advise a customer on their coverage.
Who employs the technicians, and who is liable for the vehicles?
DHR staffs and pays the program: the claims team, the repair experience manager, the sales advisors, and the technicians. Technicians are master-certified in paintless dent repair and work a scheduled weekly pipeline for DHR, not for your store. Certificates of insurance for the work performed in your store are provided in the walkthrough, along with how warranty work is handled.
What happens when there is no storm?
The program keeps working the hail already sitting on your customers' cars. In our experience most hail never gets repaired, and the service drive finds it every day. Our flagship store has booked 35 to 40 new repairs a month with zero new storms since it launched. And if there is nothing to repair, you pay nothing.
How do I know what I am owed?
Every settled repair gets a one-page statement: what the insurance company paid, what the repair cost, and the store's share. Every week you get a packet that matches those statements to the checks that actually arrived. Your controller verifies it against your repair orders quickly.
How fast can you be live?
About two weeks. Week one we set up the claims desk, the paperwork in your name, the scanner, and the repair schedule. Week two we launch with the outreach plan for your customer base ready to run.
What if it does not work out?
The agreement is standard paper with a short notice period. The worst case is choosing not to renew. Your customer records, documents, and repair history stay with your store.
