Every city gets hail differently. Here's what makes Gladstone specific.
Factory-paint-preserving PDR for everyday hail claims. LED line-board inspection, panel-by-panel supplement documentation, CCC ONE-format estimates.
F-150s, Teslas, Rivians, and luxury European bodies all use aluminum panels that require heat-assisted PDR and the glue-pull technique — most local shops farm this work out to specialists, while we handle it in-house.
Dealer lot inventory recovery, rental fleet restoration, corporate vehicle policies. CAT-team deployment for storm response.
Near-total-loss saves. 300+ dent repairs. Vehicles insurance estimators were ready to write off — we've brought them back to factory.
We pick up from Linden, Bolton, and Meadowbrook, and everywhere in between.

Gladstone sits inside the North Kansas City Schools (NKC Schools) footprint — the exact family-SUV demographic we see after every significant storm.

Gladstone falls in line with the rest of the KC metro on pricing: $1,500–$3,500 for light damage, $3,500–$8,000 for moderate (100–300 dents), $8,000–$15,000+ for severe. Aluminum bodies carry a 25% markup.

Gladstone is in our regular Kansas City metro rotation for free pick-up. We come to your driveway, office lot, or dealership. No rental shuttle, no Uber, no taking a half-day off work. Free pick-up is the default.
Strong local presence of American Family and State Farm agents. We work with all of them — and we know which ones push back hardest on supplements, which matters because outdoor insurance estimates miss 20–40% of dents on average.
