1
Walk the lot
Every unit gets a stock number, a panel-by-panel dent count, and photos. You know the real damage picture before you talk to anyone about money.
What we handle
From storm to back on the front line.
2
File the claim
One package to the insurer that covers your inventory (your open-lot policy), in the format adjusters approve. When the first number comes back short, we document the difference and get it corrected.
3
Repair on site
Master-certified paintless dent repair crews work your lot unit by unit. Factory paint kept, no body work on the history, no body-shop backlog, no transport off your property.
4
Back on the line
Sellable cars, inspected and back on the front line in the order you want them, while the market still remembers the storm.
The point
A hailed-out lot is a cash-flow problem. We turn it back into inventory.
Without a plan, the playbook is ugly: outside crews, a liquidation tent on your corner, and deep hail-sale discounts on every damaged unit, while open-lot coverage gets harder to place in many markets.
With the program in place, it is a claim, a schedule, and cars back on the line at full price. Every day a damaged unit sits is another floor-plan day. Crews already on site cut those days.
By the time hail is in the forecast, it is too late to find a partner. The stores that come out ahead already have one installed.

How a lot event runs
Same system as the customer program. Pointed at your stock.
Day one
Crews walk the lot with your used-car and new-car managers. Every unit gets a stock number, a dent count, and photos, on one sheet per vehicle.
The claim
One package to your open-lot insurer: dent sheets, line-item estimates, and photos in the format adjusters approve. Corrections documented when the first number is short.
The schedule
Units repaired in the order you want them back on the line. Aged units and front-line units first, if that is what the numbers say.
The finish
Paintless dent repair keeps the factory paint, with no body work on the unit's history. Every unit is inspected before it goes back to the front line.
The statement
Every unit closes with a breakdown of the settlement and the repair cost, rolled up into one packet for your controller.
The next storm
The crews and the claims team are already in place, so round two starts as soon as capacity allows, not two weeks later.
Capacity is honest, not unlimited. We staff a lot event by adding crews to the team already running your customer program, and we will tell you in the walkthrough how many units per day your store can expect and how quickly. Storm day? Call (214) 972-8180 and ask for Walker.

We will look at your exposure, your stock policy, and what a storm response would look like on your lot.
