CS to partner Hail Network

Connected Solutions has announced the appointment of The Hail Network as a motor claims eco-system partner.

As a new ‘rapid resolution’ partner, The Hail Network is a smart solution and the most effective method of removing dents from vehicles damaged by hail.

The latest CS partner adds 50 mobile technicians deployable across the UK within 24 hours creating instant bodyshop capacity.

The potential for fixed price based on damage severity will be a huge benefit for those that engage, who will be the first to benefit from The Hail Damage Network’s services during a surge in hail damage claims.

‘Hailstorms and summer months go hand-in-hand,’ said Steve Thompson, director, Industry Insights. ‘Frequency of hail damage has increased in the last decade and – due to climate change – The Hail Network’s research predicts hailstorms will become more prevalent over the next 10 years.
By securing a pro-active solution today, ahead of a hailstorm, will enable Connected Solutions’ Partner businesses and supply chain to control repair costs and meet customer demand.’

‘The ability to have an innovative partner and a pro-active solution ahead of a hail storm that supports our primary network is a unique solution. Our goal is to enhance our service provision to insurance and fleet contracts during freak weather events, this is another example of Fix Auto providing solutions for our clients and their drivers/policyholders,’ added Ian Pugh, managing director Fix Auto.

Paul Phillips, director, The Hail Network, said, ‘Since 2012 when the first severe hailstorm hit the UK, The Hail Network have established a strong presence in the market, ready to react to the uncontrollable demand of claims and executed this to complete satisfaction.’

All repairs are Paintless Dent (PDR) meaning no parts or paint required and come complete with a lifetime guarantee.
