I strongly recommend using Hail Specialist for your repairs! Ricky was extremely helpful since I contacted him for my SUV hail damage. I have never had to file a claim before and this being my first car, I had no idea what I was doing. Ricky handled all the nitty gritty of filing a claim and dealing with the adjuster. Ricky also arranged for the rental car to pick me up upon dropping off my car as well as rental car to pick up the car from his shop. Ricky and his team are extremely thorough. Ricky was very flexible with me and was able to accommodate my time. The reviews on this shop are extremely accurate. I will be referring all my Calgary friends to Ricky!
Ricky from Hail specialist was very communicative throughout the whole process. Him and his team, did amazing work on my vehicle, restoring a heavily hail damaged vehicle to the point where you'd be surprised if the car was ever hailed on. My car looks brand new again, and the job was completed way before I had anticipated. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend hail specialist to anyone that needed quality PDR done to their vehicle.
Edit: I had another vehicle be hail damaged in the summer of 2023 and had brought it over to be fixed by Ricky and his team. They were as attentive and meticulous with my car as ever. After getting my car back, it looks the same as the day I purchased it. Quoting, fixing, and replacing hail damaged parts was very efficient, and consistent updates were provided. Living in Calgary, we are always at risk of hail damage in summers, so it is important to know a reputable hail repair business. Ricky & Hail Specialists have earned my complete trust.
Highly recommend this auto shop they help me so much from insurance to rental car and from fixing my hail damages…i thank ricky for all the help and hope that they maintain their integrity and reputations
Professional workmanship with a touch of personal and detailed service.
My Highlander is a good as new just like when I first got it. Like nothing happened and all my hail damaged just disappeared magically. So happy how it turns out and greatful for the crew for going beyond my expectations.
His experienced crew and Ricky excellent customer service makes this experience very positive. I highly recommend this place.
The people at hail specialist did great work on my truck, the hail damage was significant. When they gave me the keys back the truck looked like show room condition. No visible dents from the hail. Great work i recommend them to anyone.
Amazing job done on my Mazda cx5 after suffering a serious hail damage in recent weeks. Job done was flawless and would highly recommend! Ricky is a great guy and overall happy with the job done.
Ricky not only does an amazing job in terms of the quality of work, he gets the job done asap, at a fair price and makes sure you are 100% satisfied. One of those places that when you leave, you are glad you went there and then you tell your friends about the great experience.
Ricky was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process as he was professional, quick, and attentive. While working with him, I could tell that he is knowledgable and experienced with his craft. Very satisfied with the quality of work!
Ricky and his staff are great! My vehicle had hail damage and I was able to get in the very next day for an appraisal. Ricky kept me well informed of how long it would take to get parts and when I could expect a call to book the appointment. He arranged the rental car for me and the repairs were done in a few days as promised. I couldn’t be happier with results, my vehicle looks brand new. Car repairs can be stressful but Ricky really helps the process go smoothly and is excellent with his customers. I highly recommend this shop and would use them again.
Had the pleasure of dealing with Ricky about a dent on the side of my brand new Audi S5. He is very professional and honest and provided the highest quality of work and went out of his way to do the repair on the spot. I went to a few other places to get a quote and found hail specialist to be the most reasonable. I highly recommend coming here.
Ricky was great right from the beginning! Although Hail Specialist is a preferred contractor for my particular insurance company, my claim went to another company. Ricky worked diligently on my behalf to get the claim transferred to his shop. After the inital estimate, he contacted me right away to tell me when the part's for my car would arrive and everything was fixed in a timrly manner. He was even able to save the roof of my car. They even detailed the inside and outside of my car. A great experience.
My 2019 honda odyssey got hailed last July 2021. The storm was so bad and damaged my van. And Hail specialists took good care of my van thru recommendation of our insurance. I was so impressed by the outcome of the paint less repair it seems like new again I can't even tell where was the damage before. And Ricky's Chin promised us van will be ready on date he told us, and as promised its ready. I definitely recommend Hail specialists to other car owner who got their car damaged by hail. Thanks Ricky and staff.
Got my BMW dented with a crease, my friend referred me to Hail Specialist. Ricky and Nic took care of it and now I can't even find where the dent was! Look like never happened. AMAZING! Will definitely come back! Wait. No.
Two years in a row my brand new Jeep was hit by hailstorms. This second time I was lucky enough to have Ricky and his team take care of everything. They were wonderful. So many things were happening in the background in regards to my claim and booking a rental that I did not have to worry about as Ricky handled it for me. Cannot say enough about them and my experience. Very pleased with the repairs as well looks brand new!
My truck was riddled with dents this year after a big hail storm. I’ve never had paintless dent repair done before, so I was a little sceptical on how it would turn out. After 2 days, Ricky and his techs had it ready to go. I searched the panels after with a fine tooth comb and there was nothing to find, it looked brand new. They do excellent work!
As a follow up to my previous review, Ricky and his team are excellent and provide professional and quality services. This is the second time I've had to get hail damage repairs (perks of living in Calgary) and the team did a great job. Definitely recommend!
July 2nd SW hail damage, took my car to these guys as TD insurance sent me there. What a mistake. First I walked in the garage as they have no sign (Part of Carstar Service) Lady in there was so upset why did I go in the garage, I even apologized as I did not know and there is no sign. And my nightmare stared, They took the car MB 4 years old and then gave me the car back with no information while this lady was still upset with me walking in their garage. They accused me of damaging my own car and the car is still not fixed, Totally bad service and accusations. Went to 3 different body shops and they all confirmed it was hail damage. Still dealing with insurance over it. Don't go there and especially if your insurance ask you to do it. Go anywhere else.
Dealing with Ricky and his team at Hail Specialist was very professional. From the day of taking the car in for an inspection to dropping the car off for repairs was handled very professionally. They had arranged for a rental car pick up to take me to the rental car office the time I got there to drop the car off. Repairs were done on time and the car looks like just driven out of the dealership. Was in good hands with Ricky and his team.
I took my M3 to 3 different dent repair shops in Calgary before moving forward with Ricky at Hail specialist. At other shops it seemed like the estimator was not the individual actually going to be performing the work and there felt like a disconnect from describing what I wanted and what they said could be done. When I went to see Ricky at the Hail specialist it was immediately different. Rickey carefully looked over the car, inspecting every millimeter of damage and taking into account exactly how I wanted it fixed. It was clear that he is a true professional in his line of work. In the end I couldn't have been happier with the results, Ricky over-delivered on all aspects. If anyone is considering getting dents repaired on their vehicle, please look no further than Hail specialist, its the most superior shop in Calgary in my opinion.
Ricky and his crew did a wonderful job on my Rav4 getting out the hail damage. It was an easy process to drop off my vehicle, catch a rental car and same coming back when it was done. They completed the job in a very timely manner, leaving it spotless! Very friendly and professional! I recommend them to anyone!
Excellent service! The staff at Hail Specialist are both friendly and professional - my car had extensive hail damage and Ricky and his crew were able to make it look brand new again, and for a very reasonable price. I would not hesitate to use their service again.
Ricky et al at Hail Specialist were a pleasure to deal with and my truck looks excellent. It looks like new and what a pleasant surprise for it to be all detailed when I went to pick it up.
Awesome work! 1st of 2 cars I’m bringing in. Car was done on time and looks great, even cleaned the inside as well! Anybody with hail damage needs to bring their vehicles in!
Brought in 2nd vehicle, and it was done ahead of schedule and left absolutely spotless! Great work. Great service. Thanks again guys. Will be back for any future Hail or PDR repairs.

Ricky did a good work on my vehicle. All dents are nicely repaired within just 2 days. I strongly recommend this guys to let your car fixed! Thank you Ricky.
I was referred to hail specialists by my insurance company and was extremely happy. Their customer service was wonderful and speedy. They arranged for my rental car to be there when I dropped off my car and and picked up and we were very happy with the repairs. I’d highly recommend them!
Dropped my Kia Forte5 on Saturday, picked it up Monday after work. Amazing work, not a sign of any hail damage and you would never guess there was any to begin with. On top of that it was detailed and looks brand new! They also arranged the rental car pick up which was very convenient. Highly recommend this place
I had an amazing experience at the hail specialists! They were professional and easy to talk to! My car was very badly damaged by the last hail storm and I wasn’t sure it could be fixed! I felt very comfortable leaving my vehicle with them and when I came to pick it up it looked brand new, they even touched up a small unrelated damage free of charge! So amazing! I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for any kind of paintless repair, especially hail damage
Had my vehicle inspected here. Great customer service and friendly / knowledgeable staff. Unfortunately I decided to write my vehicle off and did not get repairs done. Had my vehicle been newer and worth the investment I would have gotten the hail damage fixed here.
Brought my 2013 Q5 in for hail damage. We are really happy with the service, and how well the repair turned out! They have great hours as well so made drop off and pick up a breeze! Hope I never get hail damage again but if I do. I would go back!
We had both of our vehicles repaired from hail damage. The service we received was great. I was so surprised to see that they not only repaired my hail damage but then detailed my vehicle inside as well. It was like getting a brand new car/truck again. Thanks so much!
We recently got some hail damage on our Tesla that was unavoidable. After a great deal of research, we found that there are very few companies who will commit to doing paintless dent removal on an aluminum car. Aluminum is very hard to work with. While the damage wasn't incredibly noticeable, we really wanted our Tesla back to original condition. I was referred to Ricky, who is the owner of Hail Specialist, through a close contact I have at Tesla.
I had huge reservations about letting them work on my car. After everything I read about how hard it is, I really didn't want it to get worse.
Ricky and his colleague did an absolutely remarkable job. My Tesla is back to original condition and the price was incredibly reasonable.
I know quite a few people in the car industry, everyone I have spoken to is amazed with the work Ricky did. Literally, you would never know there was any damage.
