Elite Hail Systems Expands Eco-Friendly Paintless Dent Repair Access In Kentucky

Unfortunately, extreme weather events have been becoming more common. For instance, the NOAA reported nearly 7,000 hail events in 2024, a significant increase over even the previous few years, and part of a staggering upward trend. These storms pose a direct threat to human safety, and cause billions of dollars in damage every year across a large area of the American South, Midwest, and Southwest. This increase in frequency also naturally translates to an increased demand for emergency response services.

Answering The Call

One such company that has built their business model around the needs of those impacted by severe weather is Elite Hail Systems, a Colorado-based provider of auto hail damage repair services. The company recently announced that they will be temporarily expanding to Louisville, KY in the wake of a significant hail event in the area.

This expansion is part of an annual relocation program that sees the company visiting communities whose local repair shops are overwhelmed with demand and remaining there for 6-month stints. With Scientific American reporting that hailstones are likely to increase in size as storms grow more intense, it is likely that local capacity to handle damage will fail in many parts of the country, just as locals are already seeing around the Louisville area.

Green Services

Elite Hail Systems explains that their commitment to being good stewards does not end with their hail damage repair services. They also seek to do their work in an eco-friendly manner, so as not to contribute to a worsening of the crisis at hand.

Their team utilizes advanced, recently developed paintless dent repair (PDR) techniques to repair severe hail damage on most vehicles. The exact method may vary on a case-by-case basis, but generally, their technicians are able to combine dent pushing, glue pulling and body picks to restore dented material to its original appearance. PDR is now universally considered the best method of repair, and maintains a vehicle's original factory finish.

Notably, PDR has shown promise as an environmentally friendly alternative to more traditional methods of dent repair. Repair methods which use body filler often generate waste such as microplastics, chemicals, and solvents—none of which are used in PDR, and all of which are incredibly harmful to the environment and to human health, as reported by the Green Policy Institute.

As our environmental situation continues to change, it is clear that ground-level contributions across the service industry will be necessary. Companies like Elite Hail Systems who are willing to leave their home service range to connect with impacted communities are likely to become essential as well, especially considering that 3/4ths of all companies now report that they are considering relocating due to climate risks, as reported by Inside Climate News.
