Hail Damage Repair in Willmar, MN

A Minnesota hailstorm can leave your vehicle looking very different in a single afternoon. Kent's Auto Body provides hail damage repair in Willmar with a practical plan, experienced technicians, and the written, limited-lifetime workmanship warranty that has supported our customers since 1990.

We serve drivers throughout Kandiyohi County and west-central Minnesota, including Spicer, New London, Atwater, Kandiyohi, Benson, Litchfield, Hutchinson, Olivia, Granite Falls, Montevideo, Eden Valley, and Paynesville.

The right approach to hail damage

We start with a close inspection and a free consultation. When paintless dent repair is appropriate, it can preserve the existing factory finish. For damage that needs more extensive auto body work, we explain the repair path and timeline before moving ahead.

Our shop uses careful procedures and computerized paint matching when refinishing is part of the plan. Every stage receives attention, from the estimate through final quality review.

Hail season in Willmar and Kandiyohi County

West-central Minnesota sits squarely in the path of the storms that cross Kandiyohi County every summer, and Willmar drivers know the pattern: a dark June or July afternoon, a few loud minutes, and a hood full of dimples by evening. When a storm moves through Willmar, Spicer, New London, or Atwater, our East Highway 12 shop starts filling within days.

That timing matters for your claim and your schedule. Insurance adjusters and repair slots are both in highest demand right after a local storm, so the earlier you have your vehicle inspected, the sooner your repair is approved and on the calendar. A free weekday consultation takes about 15 minutes, and there is no obligation to file a claim afterward.

Insurance claim guidance without shortcuts

Hail claims can bring questions about estimates, approvals, and timing. Kent's works with all insurance companies and helps you understand what is needed for your claim. You always have the right to select the auto body shop that works on your vehicle.

For a non-drivable vehicle, we can arrange towing to our Willmar location. Ask us about courtesy loaner transportation when scheduling, as availability depends on our fleet.

A storm just came through Willmar. What should I do first?

Take a few photos of the damage in good light, then bring the vehicle by our Willmar shop for a free inspection, no appointment needed on weekdays. We will document the damage, write the estimate, and walk you through the insurance claim. You have the right under Minnesota law to choose your own repair shop.

Can paintless dent repair help after a storm?
