The Richardson, TX driver's choice for paintless dent & hail repair

Richardson is the closest major city to our shop that isn't Plano itself. The Telecom Corridor, CityLine and UT Dallas put tens of thousands of commuter cars in open parking lots every weekday, and the older neighborhoods south of Belt Line keep them under big trees at night — which is lovely until a spring storm turns those trees into a second source of dents. We're a ten-minute drive up Central Expressway, and we'll handle your insurance start-to-finish.

Whether you live in Canyon Creek, Richardson Heights, the Reservation, Prairie Creek, Breckinridge Park, Duck Creek or the new towers at CityLine, we make it effortless. Send us a couple of photos of the damage. We come back with a written quote, schedule a convenient pickup from your home or office, drop off a clean loaner car, and handle every detail of the insurance claim. You drive the loaner while we work. When it's done, we deliver your car back to Richardson — restored to factory-perfect condition, with the original paint untouched.

Why drive past the body shops in Richardson?

There are body shops along Plano Road and Central Expressway that are closer to you than our Plano location — but most of them aren't paintless dent specialists. They're general-purpose collision shops that handle hail and dent work by sanding, filling, and repainting. That process kills your factory finish and shows up on Carfax as collision-grade work.

DentPicks specializes in paintless dent repair (PDR), the same technique used by manufacturers and certified luxury dealers to preserve factory paint. Read more on our PDR services page, or see exactly how we handle hail repair claims.

Carrier-specific questions are answered on our hail claims by insurer pages — for example how Allstate and GEICO hail claims move through inspection, supplement and payment in Texas.

Hail history in Richardson

Richardson sits on the Dallas–Collin county line, squarely in the corridor North Texas hail follows most springs, and the last decade shows it. On April 11, 2016, the supercell that set the National Weather Service Fort Worth hail record — a 5.25-inch stone — and damaged roughly 80% of the homes in neighboring Wylie tracked across the county line with Richardson inside the mapped hail swath. On May 28, 2024, a pre-dawn derecho pushed gusts past 70 mph at Arapaho Road and US-75, dropped hail across the city, uprooted mature trees in Northrich, and left the City of Richardson declaring a local state of disaster the following morning.

It isn't only hail. On October 20, 2019, an EF3 tornado crossed Walnut Street into Richardson, tracked through Richland Park, Lakes of Buckingham, Richland Meadows and College Park, and only lifted past Duck Creek and North Jupiter Road — part of a $1.55 billion outbreak. Storms that strong throw hail and debris together, and the dents turn up on cars parked blocks from the damage path.

Go back further and the pattern holds: on June 13, 2012, storms drifting south across north Dallas dropped baseball- to softball-size hail on Dallas and Collin counties and cost an estimated $900 million — still one of the costliest hail days in Texas history.

If your vehicle was caught in any of those storms — or you're just now noticing dents months later — we can still help. Most insurance policies allow hail claims well after the storm date, as long as the policy was active at the time. Bring your declarations page to your free inspection and we'll confirm what's covered.
