Don’t Let Hail Damage Ruin Your Car’s Value — Fix It The Smart Way
A single Texas hailstorm can hammer thousands of pea-, marble- and golf-ball-sized impacts into your car’s roof, hood, trunk, and side panels — in under ten minutes.
Even dents you can barely see cause real damage:
- Stretched sheet metal — weakened structural integrity
- Cracked paint at a microscopic level — moisture seeps in, rust starts
- 15–30% drop in resale value — visible on every trade-in appraisal
Standard body shops "fix" hail damage by sanding, filling, and repainting whole panels — replacing your factory paint with shop-grade paint and showing up on Carfax as collision-grade work.
Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) does the opposite: we work each dent back into place from behind the panel, preserving your factory finish entirely.
No filler. No repaint. No Carfax flag. The dents are simply gone.

File A Texas Insurance Claim With $0 Out-Of-Pocket Expenses
Texas drivers who carry comprehensive coverage are fully covered for hail damage. And here's a fact most drivers don't know: by Texas insurance law, your insurer cannot raise your rates for filing a comprehensive hail claim. Hail is classified as an act of nature, not a chargeable event.
That means filing a claim is almost always the right move. Your deductible — typically $500 or $1,000 — is the only amount you'd normally owe. At DentPicks, we cover that deductible on most claims, so your true out-of-pocket cost on a $5,000 to $10,000 repair is often zero dollars.
We help drivers navigate claims with every major U.S. insurer. You file the claim — we help with everything around it: the photos, the adjuster meetings, the supplements, and the final paperwork. You sign one Power of Attorney form so we can work with your adjuster directly.
We proudly offer the kind of $0 deductible hail repair Dallas area drivers have come to trust since 2018. Our team provides expert Dallas hail repair specialist assistance, walking you through the entire insurance claim hail repair car process from the first photo to the final supplement. We work directly with your adjuster to map out every single hail dent removal Plano technique needed to restore your vehicle — supplemental claim documentation, photo evidence, and the final paperwork are all things we help you with — you file the claim, we walk you through the rest.
Transparent Pricing & Typical 5-To-10 Day Shop Time
Hail repair pricing depends on three things: the number of dents, the size of the dents, and the location on the panel (edges and creases take longer than open surfaces). Industry-standard pricing for cosmetic hail damage in North Texas:
Every single hail dent removal at our Plano facility is backed by a written lifetime warranty. If you are ever unsatisfied with the craftsmanship for as long as you own the vehicle, we will fix it for free. No questions asked.
| Damage level | Typical retail cost | Your cost with insurance | Typical shop time after claim approval |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light (15–40 dents, one panel) | $1,200 – $2,500 | $0 | approx. 3–5 days |
| Moderate (40–100 dents, 2–3 panels) | $2,500 – $5,500 | $0 | approx. 5–7 days |
| Heavy (100–250 dents, full vehicle) | $5,500 – $10,000 | $0 | approx. 7–10 days |
| Severe (250+ dents, full hail event) | $10,000+ | $0 | approx. 10–14 days |
Shop time is measured from the day your claim is approved and the vehicle is in our bay — not from the day you call. These ranges are estimates based on similar repairs, not a promise of a specific delivery date. Real timelines shift with hidden damage found during teardown, supplement approvals, parts or glass availability, and post-storm volume. We give you a target date at drop-off and tell you the same day if anything changes.
"Your cost with insurance" assumes you carry comprehensive coverage and we waive your standard deductible (up to $1,000). If you are looking to fix hail dents on a car without comprehensive insurance, our certified technicians can provide a custom out-of-pocket estimate during your free inspection — and our PDR rates are typically 30-40% lower than what a traditional body shop would charge for the same panel, with no Carfax record created.

Why DFW drivers choose DentPicks for hail repair

Every loaner is clean and ready to go. Every claim is supported in-house. And every repair carries a written lifetime warranty on the workmanship for as long as you own the vehicle.
Frequently asked questions about hail repair
Does insurance cover hail damage on my car?
Yes. Comprehensive coverage covers hail damage in Texas. If you carry comprehensive on your policy, your hail claim is fully covered. We walk alongside you through the whole claim process to make it as hassle-free as possible.
Will filing a hail claim raise my insurance rates?
No and yes. Your rates won’t go up because of the hail claim itself — Texas law prohibits insurers from surcharging a comprehensive hail claim, since hail is an act of nature, not driver fault. That said, insurance pricing algorithms do factor in collision claims, speeding tickets, moving violations, and the rising cost of repairing vehicles in general — plenty of Texas drivers have seen rate hikes without ever filing a claim. The hail claim just isn’t the cause.
How much will it cost me out of pocket?
On most insurance hail claims, you pay $0. We waive your deductible up to $1,000 on qualifying claims. We'll confirm specifics with you on the free inspection.
Will the repair show up on Carfax?
No. Paintless Dent Repair does not involve body filler or repainting, so it does not create a collision record on Carfax. Your vehicle history and resale value stay intact. One caveat: if the adjuster requires a panel to be replaced instead of repaired with PDR, that replacement can be reported — we tell you up front if your estimate includes one.
How long will my car be in the shop?
Once your claim is approved and the car is in our bay, most hail repairs are finished in about 5 to 10 business days — a typical range, not a fixed delivery date. Part shortages, adjuster backlogs, and the volume of claims after a big storm can stretch any repair; our goal is to move as fast as possible without cutting corners. Insurance rental coverage typically runs up to 30 days, and carriers often extend it while a claim is in process. You drive a complimentary loaner the entire time, with live updates throughout the process.
What if I don't have comprehensive coverage?
We can still help. Hail damage is one of the few repairs where PDR is dramatically cheaper than body shop work. Call us for a same-day cash-pay quote.
Ready to make your hail damage disappear?
Free inspection. Complimentary pickup. Complimentary rental. Zero out of pocket on insurance claims.
