Ready for hail season

Storm hits the St. Croix Valley — we're open the next morning

May through September the I-94 corridor takes the worst hits. When a cell rolls through Hudson, Woodbury, or Stillwater, our 3,000 sq ft Troy Condo Garages shop runs extended hours and prioritizes intake by storm date.

  • Same-day photo estimates during active storm windows

  • Fleet-scale bay capacity — we don't turn cars away

  • Documented experience with multi-hundred-vehicle events

Technique

Factory finish, no paint, no filler

Our owner trained under Don Kavanagh — a 35+ year master PDR technician. Every dent is massaged out from behind the panel using calibrated rods and reflective line boards. Your factory paint stays untouched, your resale value stays intact.
