Have a Repair Plan in Place to Get Back on the Road
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - ncarol.com -- During the spring, hailstorms can pop up out of nowhere just like dandelions, and inflict thousands of dollars of vehicle damage in their wake with dented hoods and roofs, broken windshields, and sunroofs and rain-soaked interiors.
Auto Glass Now, one of the fastest growing glass repair and replacement companies, offers drivers tips to protect their vehicle against the set of unique challenges hailstorms bring.
Damage prevention is key
"Hailstorms are one of the biggest causes of damage to vehicles," said Nick Ouimet, president of Auto Glass Now. "They can come up suddenly, and if you're on the road or your vehicle is parked in a lot somewhere, there's very little you can do to protect yourself and your vehicle. The key is watching the weather during hail season and having a plan in place."

Auto Glass Now, one of the fastest growing glass repair and replacement companies, offers drivers tips to protect their vehicle against the set of unique challenges hailstorms bring.
Damage prevention is key
- Check the weather to see if storms are in the forecast – hail often accompanies thunderstorms and changing temperatures.
- Have a safe place to store your vehicle – park your car in the garage or under a carport and if these aren't available, find a parking garage nearby.
- If you're on the road and a storm is imminent, find a parking garage, bank drive-through or bridge to park under until the storm passes.
- If you don't have a covered location, a car cover or even blankets can help soften the impact of the hail against your vehicle's glass and metal surfaces.

If damage occurs, have a repair plan in place.
- Take photos to document any damage to your vehicle's glass, body panels, and interior.
- Contact your insurance agent and/or adjustor to facilitate getting repairs done as soon as possible – the sooner you file your claim the sooner your vehicle can be scheduled for repair.
- Have a repair partner in mind – you have the right to choose your repair partner, not your insurance company, and you'll want someone nearby who is experienced and certified for your vehicle make
- Get your glass replaced first – you can drive your vehicle with dented panels but can't legally drive it with a broken windshield. You can have your auto glass replaced even if your insurance agent or adjuster hasn't assessed the damage yet, as long as you keep receipts and photos.

Prepare your vehicle for repair
- After you assess your vehicle's condition, the clean-up begins – wear heavy gloves and use a shop vac or broom and dustpan to remove as mush glass as possible. Remove your personal items and electronics to see if any of those are damaged.
- If your front windshield is broken, do not drive the vehicle. This is unsafe and illegal.
- If it is necessary to drive with broken glass, always wear glasses (for eye protection in case any glass flies in the vehicle).
- Place comforter on vehicle seat to prevent puncture to skin.
