Posted by CMC Autobody 

Due to the influx of hail damage repair that we have experience, we felt it necessary to compile a list of frequently asked questions pertaining to hail damage removal. Our outsourced Dent repair division specializes in the art of paintless dent repair (PDR). The team will massage the dents out of your vehicle’s body and restore the vehicle’s original shape.

The benefit
Paintless dent repair does not require the use of paint at any point in the process. As the vehicle keeps its original paint, there is no colour matching or repainting required. Not only does this mean that the process is cheaper than that of traditional panel beating techniques, it also means that the resale value of the vehicle is higher than it would be if repainting were repainted.
​
Important ;  This will vary depending on the severity of the damage. If the damage is severe then you will need additional paint and bodywork done.

TOP FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION

​Q. How long does it take to have my vehicle repaired?
A. Typically, repairs take 10-15 business days if you are getting a hail damage paintless dent repair. This will vary depending on the severity of the damage and what number in the Que your vehicle is booked in at. Should you need additional paint and bodywork you may need an additional 5-7 business days (for severe hail damage the length of time may increase). Our team here at CMC autobody are skilled in the art of cosmetic repairs, in most cases you will have your car back in no more than 12 business days. If your vehicle does not require and paintwork due to the hail damage, typically the repair will not take more than 12 days unless specified by us.

Q. I can’t go a day without my car, what do I do?

Feeling adventurous? Looking for an escape? Something that doesn't break the pocket?
Gauteng has no shortage of spectacular, breath taking hiking trails.
Despite it being so close to the city, you will feel as if you are somewhere else.
We here at CMC Autobody have put together a list of our TOP 2 most affordable/free hiking trails, right here in Gauteng.


OUR TOP RECOMMENDED HIKING TRAIL FOR 2018 IS

1.Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve

Picture
Welcome to Johannesburg's Jewel of the South
Location: Recommended Entrance if you looking for challenging hikes - Silent Pool Entrance, Frandaph Drive, Mondeor ( 331 Frandaph Dr, Mondeor, Johannesburg South 2091 )
Location: If you want to visit the heritage sites - Main Entrance, Peggy Vera Road Kibler Park ( 4th street, Rietvlei 101-ir, johannesburg south.2091 )
Times: Reserve is open every day of the week from 7H00 -18h00.
Situated a mere 10 km from the centre of Johannesburg, 5 km from Soweto and easily accessible from Sandton, the East and the West Rand, the Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve provides for an exciting nature experience.


It is the largest proclaimed nature reserve in the Johannesburg Metropolitan area (Over 700 ha. in extent) and boasts a surprising diversity ranging from larger game such as zebra, red hartebeest, and black wildebeest, to many items of botanical, geological, archaeological, historical and cultural interest. Red data listed and other protected species are also to be found.
​

The Reserve is open to the public from sunrise to sunset seven days a week. There is no entrance fee.

Silent Pool Entrance, Frandaph Drive Mondeor. Western Scenic Route
The Reserve is rated by many as a birding hotspot. Despite not having any wetlands of significance, more than 215 bird species have been identified.

Hiking is the main activity in the Reserve. The hiking trails are scenic and vary in distance and in degree of difficulty. A three hour hike along the flatter areas can be completed by most people who can manage three hours of shopping. The steeper, hilly areas can be testing for even the fit.

​For the outdoor enthusiast, a visit to the Reserve is not to be missed. First time visitors are surprised at this beautiful natural asset so close to the hubbub of the city. It is very aptly referred to as Johannesburg’s Jewel of the South.
