Auto body repairs—whether from hail, an accident, or everyday wear—can be expensive. But that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice quality to save money. At Comeback Auto Assist, we believe in honest pricing, smart repair choices, and helping customers get the best value possible. Here are 7 ways to cut costs on car repairs without compromising safety or appearance.

1. Use Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) When Possible

PDR is:

  • Faster
  • Less invasive
  • More affordable than traditional repairs

It’s ideal for hail damage and small dents where the paint is still intact. We’ll always check if PDR is an option first—because it can save you hundreds.

2. Review Your Insurance Coverage Before You File

Comprehensive coverage often includes hail and storm damage, while collision coverage is for accidents. Before filing a claim:

  • Know your deductible
  • Check for OEM part coverage
  • Ask if a claim might raise your rates

Our team can help review your policy and determine if a claim makes financial sense—or if it’s better to pay out of pocket.

3. Get a Free Estimate Upfront

At Comeback Auto Assist, we offer free, no-obligation estimates. This helps you:

  • Understand the scope of the repair
  • Avoid hidden fees
  • Plan your budget ahead of time

Transparency upfront = fewer surprises later.

4. Bundle Repairs When You Can

If you’ve got minor dents, scratches, or other small issues—ask about bundling them with your larger repair. Fixing everything at once may save you:

  • Labor time
  • Paint matching costs
  • Insurance processing fees

We’ll let you know what can be combined for better pricing.

5. Ask About Aftermarket Parts (When Appropriate)

While OEM parts are ideal in some cases, quality aftermarket parts can offer big savings—especially for:

  • Older vehicles
  • Cosmetic repairs
  • Trim, mirrors, or bumpers

We only recommend aftermarket parts that meet strict quality standards.

6. Avoid DIY for Serious Repairs

Trying to pop out dents or touch up paint yourself may seem cheaper, but mistakes can:

  • Lead to worse damage
  • Cost more to fix
  • Hurt your resale value

It’s often more affordable to do it right the first time—with a professional.

7. Choose a Shop That Works With Your Insurance

Comeback Auto Assist works directly with all major providers to:

  • Speed up approvals
  • Reduce paperwork
  • Make sure you don’t overpay

Letting us manage your claim helps you avoid delays—and keeps repair costs accurate.
