Hail Damage Repair, Tokoroa Approved.
Mark Jones Paint and Panel is a Tokoroa-based collision repair and auto refinishing business. Hail damage often affects multiple panels at once, so a fast assessment matters. A delayed inspection can let hidden dent stress go unnoticed before an insurance claim is lodged.
Hail storms can strike a vehicle with dozens of small to moderate dents across the roof, bonnet, and boot. Assessing soon after the storm helps document the full scope before a claim is filed with IAG, FMG, or AA Insurance.
Multi-Panel Assessment Runs Alongside Your Insurance Claim.
Initial contact and photos: the vehicle owner calls or brings the vehicle to the Tokoroa workshop; the technician documents every visible dent across all affected panels, not just the worst-looking ones.
Full-panel mapping: each panel (roof, bonnet, boot, doors) is checked individually, since hail damage severity often varies panel to panel and light can hide shallow dents under workshop fluorescents.
Insurance liaison: for IAG, FMG, or AA Insurance policyholders, the workshop provides the panel-by-panel assessment directly to the insurer, reducing back-and-forth between the customer and claims handler.
Repair method selection: panels with shallow dents and intact paint may go through paintless dent repair, while deeper dents or damaged paint move through panel beating, priming, and Sherwin-Williams colour-matched repainting.
Final inspection: every repaired panel is checked under proper light before handover so no missed dents surface later.

What Tokoroa Drivers Ask Before Booking a Hail Damage Repair.
Will my insurer cover hail damage repair at your workshop?
Mark Jones Paint and Panel is an approved repairer for IAG, FMG, and AA Insurance, meaning the panel-by-panel hail assessment can go straight to the insurer. Customers should bring their claim reference when they call. WINZ quotes are also available for eligible customers on request.How soon after a hailstorm should I get my car assessed?
Book an assessment as soon as possible after the storm, since hidden dent stress on some panels is easier to document while the damage is fresh. A prompt assessment also gives a complete panel-by-panel record to support an insurance claim before any further weather exposure.Does every dent need a full respray?
No, not every dent requires a respray. Shallow dents with intact paint are often suited to paintless dent repair, while deeper dents or dents with cracked or chipped paint need panel beating and Sherwin-Williams colour-matched repainting. The repair method is chosen panel by panel after inspection.How many panels can be affected by one hailstorm?
A single hailstorm can dent several panels at once, commonly the roof, bonnet, and boot, with severity varying across each one. The workshop maps every panel individually during assessment so the full scope, and the full claim, is documented before repair work begins.
