Paintless dent repair is the gold standard for hail damage restoration. Our certified PDR technicians use specialized tools to carefully massage dents out from behind body panels, preserving your vehicle's original factory paint. PDR is the fastest, most affordable hail repair method — and because your factory finish stays intact, your car retains its full resale value.
PDR works best when the paint surface hasn't been cracked or chipped by the hail impact. During your free inspection, we'll determine which dents are candidates for PDR and which may need conventional repair.
When hail hits hard enough to crack or chip your paint, conventional body repair is the answer. Our technicians fill and reshape damaged panels, apply primer, and refinish with factory-matched paint using our computerized spectrophotometer color matching system. The result is a seamless repair that looks like the damage never happened.
Hail doesn't just dent metal — it cracks windshields, side windows, and rear glass. We coordinate glass replacement alongside your body repairs so you only need one shop visit. All glass work is done with OEM-quality materials and proper calibration of any ADAS sensors (lane departure, automatic emergency braking) that rely on your windshield-mounted cameras.
Not sure how bad the damage is? Hail dents can be subtle, especially on curved surfaces like roofs and hoods. Our technicians use specialized lighting and inspection techniques to identify every dent, ding, and crack — including damage you might not see in normal conditions. We document everything thoroughly so your insurance claim covers the full scope of repair.
Filing a hail damage claim shouldn't be a second job. We work directly with every major insurance company in Texas and handle the entire process from start to finish. Here's how it works:
Hail damage falls under the comprehensive portion of your auto insurance policy (not collision). Most comprehensive deductibles range from $250 to $1,000. The good news: comprehensive claims for weather events like hail generally do not increase your premiums because hail is an act of nature, not an at-fault accident.
Not sure whether to file a claim? We'll inspect your vehicle for free and give you an honest estimate. If the repair cost is close to or below your deductible, we'll let you know — there's no pressure to file. Our goal is to help you make the best decision for your situation.

Under Texas law, you have the absolute right to choose your own repair facility. Your insurance company cannot require you to use their "preferred" or "network" shops. Choose the shop you trust — not the one your insurer recommends.

If your vehicle was caught in a hail storm, here's what we recommend:
Yes. Hail damage is covered under the comprehensive portion of your auto insurance policy. You'll pay your deductible and your insurer covers the rest. We work directly with all major insurance companies and handle the entire claims process for you — from filing to final payment.
Paintless dent repair (PDR) for light to moderate hail damage typically takes 1–3 days. Severe hail damage requiring conventional bodywork, paint, or glass replacement may take 1–2 weeks depending on parts availability and the extent of the damage. We provide a timeline estimate at your free inspection.
PDR is a technique that removes hail dents from the inside of body panels using specialized tools, without disturbing your vehicle's original factory paint. It's faster, more affordable, and preserves your car's resale value because the original finish stays intact. PDR works best on dents where the paint surface hasn't cracked or chipped.
Yes. We provide free loaner vehicles while your car is being repaired — no rental coverage on your insurance required. Drop off your vehicle and drive away in a loaner at no cost.
In most cases, filing a comprehensive claim makes sense because hail damage repair can cost $1,500 to $10,000+ depending on severity. Comprehensive claims generally do not raise your premiums since hail is an act of nature, not an at-fault accident. We can inspect your vehicle for free and help you decide.
Yes. When hail breaks through the paint surface, we use conventional body repair methods — filling, sanding, priming, and repainting with factory-matched paint. We handle everything from minor paint touch-ups to full panel refinishing.
Look for small dents or dimples on horizontal surfaces like the hood, roof, and trunk. Check for cracked or chipped paint, and inspect your windshield and windows for chips or cracks. Hail damage can be subtle — bring your vehicle in for a free professional inspection and we'll document everything for your insurance claim.
