September 17, 2026 • Shelley and Blackfoot hail damage
The September 17 hailstorm struck Shelley and Blackfoot while missing Idaho Falls directly. It arrived just two days before Idaho Spud Day, leaving local drivers with hail dents to assess. Those small, widespread dents are especially well suited to paintless dent repair when the factory paint has not been broken.
Dent Repairs for Shelley Drivers
Hail Damage Repair
Hail can leave dozens of shallow dents across a hood, roof, or trunk. We work each dent from behind the panel where access allows, restoring the shape without sanding or repainting the factory finish.
Door Dings, Creases & Large Dents
Parking-lot dings, sharp creases, and larger dents need different tools and careful access. We assess the depth, location, and paint condition before explaining what paintless repair can realistically achieve.
Collision, Motorcycle & Aircraft Dents
Some minor collision dents can be repaired without body filler or new paint. We also evaluate dents on motorcycles and aircraft, where panel construction and access determine whether paintless repair is suitable.
Keep the Paint That Came with Your Vehicle
Does Insurance Cover Hail Damage?
Hail damage is typically handled under a vehicle’s comprehensive coverage, rather than collision coverage. Whether a claim makes sense depends on your policy, deductible, and the extent of the damage. If the September storm left dents on your Shelley vehicle, we can inspect it and explain what paintless dent repair can address before you decide how to proceed.
Help With the Adjuster Process
Dr. Ding works directly with insurance adjusters on comprehensive claims. We document the dents, provide a repair estimate, and discuss the repair plan with your insurer when needed. Paintless dent repair removes qualifying hail dents without repainting, so the original finish stays intact. You are welcome to call or text photos to 208-521-3101 to start the conversation.

Questions Shelley Drivers Ask
Here are practical answers about hail damage, estimates, insurance, and visiting the Idaho Falls shop.
Can hail dents be repaired without repainting my vehicle?
Often, yes. Paintless dent repair works especially well on hail dents when the factory paint is intact and the damaged panels are accessible. We’ll inspect the vehicle before recommending a repair.
How long does dent or hail repair usually take?
Many individual dents can be repaired the same day. Widespread hail damage takes longer, depending on the number and location of the dents. After an inspection, we can give you a more reliable timeline.

Yes. Hail damage is commonly handled under comprehensive coverage, subject to your policy and deductible. Dr. Ding can document the damage and work directly with your adjuster during the claim.
