SCANNED IN MINUTES,
NOTHING MISSED.

The old way is someone walking the car and eyeballing the damage. It is easy to miss the dents you only see when the light hits right, and missed dents mean a smaller claim. Drive through the Argus scanner and every dent is captured with insurance-grade accuracy in one pass, so your estimate is built on hard data the same visit and your claim covers all of it.

Insurance-grade scan in minutes, same visit.
Every panel captured, so the full damage is on record.
Hard data your adjuster can trust.

Common questions

WHAT PEOPLE
ASK US.

Does the Argus scan help my insurance claim?

Yes. The Argus scanner captures every panel with 100% accurate, insurance-grade documentation, so the full damage is on record. A rushed eyeball can miss dents, and missed dents mean a smaller claim. The scan is built to support your claim with hard data, so you get the repair you are actually owed.

Is the scan really that accurate?

Far more accurate than the old way. The traditional method is a person with a flashlight catching what they can. The scanner captures the whole vehicle at once with insurance-grade accuracy, so nothing slips through. Same car, complete record.

What does the scan cost me?

Nothing. The scan and the estimate are free, with no appointment fee and no obligation. If you decide to repair, most claims are $0 out of pocket because we bill insurance direct and most carriers waive the deductible on paintless repair. We confirm your coverage before any work starts.

Will my insurance rate go up?

No. Hail is filed under comprehensive, not collision, so a claim does not raise your rates. Most carriers waive the deductible on paintless repair because it costs them less than a traditional claim.

How long does the repair take?

Most jobs finish in 2 to 7 days from approved estimate. We give you an exact timeline at the inspection.

Will my paint be preserved?

Yes, that is the point of PDR. We never touch your finish. Original paint and clear coat stay exactly where they were. No filler, no respray.

What is the lifetime warranty?

Every repaired panel is covered for the life of the vehicle. Written, transferable to the next owner, and honored at every Dent Barn location. If a repaired panel ever pops back, we fix it free.

Is the loaner really free?

Yes. No daily rate, no mileage cap, no upgrade fee. Drop your car off, drive one of ours until pickup day.

Will this show on my Carfax?

No. Paintless dent repair is never reported to vehicle history. Carfax stays clean. Your resale value walks with the car, not a damage flag.

What if my damage is too severe for PDR?

We tell you at the inspection. If PDR is not the right call, we say so. Free estimate either way, no obligation.
