Script — say this when you get through:
Hi, I’d like to open a comprehensive claim for hail damage. Vehicle is a [year/make/model], damage from [date]. Repair facility is Hail Solutions in Olathe, Kansas.
Allstate in the Kansas City market
Broad metro coverage, heavy use of Virtual Assist for photo claims. Drivewise users sometimes get differentiated handling on comprehensive.
How to file
File through the Allstate mobile app or call 1-800-ALLSTATE. Photo estimate is the default first step for hail. Once you have your claim number, text it to us at the shop and we'll take it from there — adjuster meeting, supplement, repair, delivery.
Supplement handling
Allstate supplement approval runs 2-3 business days typically. Their estimators increasingly accept virtual supplement submissions with LED line-board photos as supporting documentation.
What happens after you file
You get a claim number, the insurer schedules an inspection (in-person, photo-based, or app-based depending on Allstate's typical flow), and you pick your repair shop. Anti-steering laws in Missouri and Kansas protect your right to use Hail Solutions regardless of what their preferred-shop network suggests. Our Olathe shop is permanent, our warranty is lifetime, and our CCC ONE estimates translate directly into Allstate's system.
Start your claim with us online — we'll coordinate with your Allstate adjuster from the first call.
