Auto body hail reports
Know which hailstorms will drive local repair demand
HailPing reads every hail storm for auto body: damaging hail, the dealers, fleets and repair partners closest to the hail, and the vehicles under it. You get a GO or VERIFY call.
Built for collision and body shops preparing intake, not hail chasing by default.
- Ground hail reports
- Radar-estimated hail swath
- Hail 1″ and larger, continental US
- Modeled exposure, field verification still needed
From hail reports to local repair priorities
A raw hail report shows where hail was reported. It does not say whether the vehicles under it, the damaging hail or the dealers, fleets and partners nearby justify staffing up for estimates.
-
Storm severity
Damaging hail size, report concentration and storm timing.
-
Vehicles under the hail
How many vehicles sat right under it.
-
Dealers, fleets and partners
The ones closest to the hail, in one Call first list.
-
Hail swath
The radar-estimated area where the hail fell.
Together they produce an auto body-specific GO or VERIFY call.
A recent storm, read for auto body
A recent storm from the live report page, and a real app screen from an example storm. The figures on the screen are an example, not current storm data.

Strong local repair opportunity
Damaging hail and the vehicles under it support prioritizing estimating capacity and outreach.

Promising, but verify first
Demand may be there, but few vehicles under the hail or limited local volume call for a look first.

How the auto body read works
Modeled exposure, built for field verification
HailPing tells you where to look first. Your team still checks the vehicles.
See how HailPing works- Ground reports
- Reported hail 1″ and larger
- Hail swath
- Radar estimate of where the hail fell
- Vehicles under the hail
- Modeled vehicle exposure, not a count of damaged vehicles
- Call first list
- Dealers, fleets and partners closest to the hail
What it does not do: name the exact vehicles that were damaged, or guarantee claims, leads or revenue.
Questions
How does HailPing evaluate auto body opportunity?
HailPing combines reported hail with the dealers, fleets and partners closest to the hail and the vehicles under it into one auto body assessment.
What does an auto body GO or VERIFY mean?
GO means damaging hail and the vehicles under it support prioritizing intake. VERIFY means the storm looks promising, so confirm damage and fit before you staff up.
Is HailPing built for hail chasers or local shops?
The auto body call leans on local repair demand, not deploy-first chasing, and still helps if you also cover travel markets.
What auto body data is included with a free account?
A free account on iPhone gets hail alerts for the states you pick, an auto body GO or VERIFY on every new storm, a preview of each new report and a few leads to call. Once a report is 14 days old, the full auto body briefing opens free. The full Call first list and exports stay Pro.
What does HailPing Pro add for auto body shops?
Pro opens the full auto body briefing on new storms the day they post: vehicle exposure in figures rather than ranges, the full Call first list with call and directions, detailed hail maps and radar replay on new storms, PDF and CSV exports, and radius alerts. It is $99.99 a month or $899.99 a year, and both renew until you cancel.
Is the Call first list the same as for PDR?
Mostly. PDR and auto body share the dealers and fleets near the hail, and both get the Call first list. For a body shop the same businesses are read as repair partners, and the partner shops differ.
Do small towns get a GO?
The auto body call weighs local repair demand, so a small market more often lands on VERIFY than GO.
