For Trailer Service Involving Hail Damage, All Hail Ainsworth Trailer Repair!


Articles / July 25, 2015

When it comes to vehicle damage, hail doesn’t discriminate. No matter how tough and durable your trailer is, there’s always the chance of some hail damage being done, especially over time. Whether you’re driving an RV, or pulling a semi-trailer or cargo trailer, our trailer service experts at Ainsworth Trailer Repair know the implications of hail damage and the methods of repair for it.

Affordable Pricing

Hail damage can take its toll and the results can be nasty – dents and holes can leave quite an impression on your trailer and you’re first thought will likely be how much the repairs are going to cost. Luckily, our mechanics can provide you with services that will not only look great and last, but come at a very affordable price. We have plenty of experience performing damage control for our customers and are poised to get your trailer back in usable shape.

Risky Business

Although some hail damage is strictly aesthetic, many of our clients’ trailers have experienced serious enough damage that should not be ignored. For example, one of our clients experienced a dent on the seam of their trailer where two pieces of the aluminum skin are riveted together. This eventually allowedwater into the interior. This can cause a plethora of additional problems if not taken care of, which is why we recommended a quick trip to our shop if you’re ever in this situation.

Check Your Insurance

If you have insurance coverage on your trailer, hail damages should be covered, minus the deductible. Talk to your insurance provider today and make sure that these kinds of damages are covered before the rough weather hits so you know what you’re getting yourself into. Alternatively, if you want to avoid filing a claim with your insurance company, bring your trailer to us and we’ll give you a fair assessment on whether the damage can be repaired easily, or if it’s in jeopardy of causing further damage.

Comprehensive Trailer Services

Our mechanics are well versed in a variety of repair services and can cater to the unique needs of your trailer. Hail damage can be repaired on most trailers by removing the rivets keeping the outer skin in place and replacing it with an entirely new piece of aluminum. For those with molded or rounded areas, you may be required to consult with the manufacturer.

Our experts at Ainsworth Trailer Repair can provide you with hail damaged trailer services and give you an honest assessment of the damages. Remember, not all hail damage should be repaired! Superficial damages that do not affect your seams, lights or mechanics can simply be left until the next time it hails, but only when you’re sure that they’re not causing other serious damage that your insurance company won’t cover.
