Are PDR Claims Reported on CARFAX?

CARFAX reports are a useful tool to consult when looking to buy a used vehicle. They contain helpful details about the history of the vehicle in question to guide you in making an informed purchase decision that you can feel good about. CARFAX reports have become a standard in today’s used car buying process, and there are numerous reasons why you should always ask to see a vehicle’s CARFAX report before proceeding with a new purchase. Details of CARFAX reports provide information on the vehicle’s age, the number of registered owners, any reported accidents or insurance claims, as well as value estimates to help you determine whether you’re paying too much or too little for your new vehicle.

How Do Auto Hail Repair Claims Impact the Vehicle Report?

●        Do cars have auto hail repair on their history?
If you’re asking these questions, American Auto Hail Repair has the answers. CARFAX reports contain information about reported insurance claims and may have some specific details about the type of accident that occurred, but do cars have auto hail repair on their history? In short, the answer is NO. American Auto Hail Repair doesn’t report auto hail damage to CARFAX because during the repair process we restore your vehicle to pristine condition, effectively undoing the damage entirely.

●        Is PDR reported on CARFAX?
Another for the “NO” column. Paintless dent repair or PDR affects body panels on your car and doesn’t concern any of the mechanical components or the frame. Because PDR fixes cosmetic issues, there is no danger to the structural or performance integrity of your car.

●        Can I tell if a car has had hail damage?
”But,” you might say, “can I tell if a car has had hail damage?” Due to the way we repair hail damage, you’ll never be able to tell that there was ever an issue. Each damaged panel to receive paintless dent repair doesn’t require any filler or, obviously, paint. This means that your vehicle hasn’t been altered, and thus the damage is undone.

How to Handle Hail Damage

Unfortunately, hail damage is part of life, and it often can’t be avoided if you live in hail-prone areas. The best way to handle hail damage is to have it repaired as quickly as possible so that a technician can assess the damage and prevent any further issues from developing. Auto hail damage may not be reported to CARFAX and show up on your vehicle’s report, but it can still have a negative impact on the resale value of your car if left unresolved.
