Know before your repair

Most single dents are done the same day, often within a couple of hours. Multiple panels take longer. We will give you a realistic time at the estimate rather than an optimistic one.

If the paint is cracked or chipped at the dent, PDR alone will not restore it, because the paint is already broken. Very sharp creases and metal that has been stretched badly may only come back part of the way. We will tell you honestly what the panel will and will not do before we start.

Almost always, because there is no filler, no paint, no blending into adjacent panels, and no days of cure time. It also preserves the factory finish, which protects resale value in a way a respray does not.

On a properly finished repair, no. That is the standard we work to, and it is why we check the panel under several light angles before we hand it back.

Yes, in the large majority of cases. Hail dents are shallow and the paint over them is usually intact, which is exactly the condition paintless dent repair is designed for. Where a stone has cracked the paint, that panel needs different work, and we will point it out at the estimate.

Hail is a comprehensive claim, not a collision claim, because nobody was at fault. Comprehensive claims are treated differently by most carriers, but your policy is yours, so confirm it with your agent. We can tell you what we see other customers experience, not what your carrier will do.

Then paying out of pocket may be the better move, and we will say so. We quote the repair either way so you can compare the two numbers before you open a claim.

Texas policies generally give you a window measured in years, but it shrinks in practice: the longer you wait, the harder it is to establish which storm caused the damage. File soon after the storm while the date is not in question.

For hail claims inside our service radius, yes. Call the shop and we will confirm your address is covered before we send anything.

If you are selling or trading the vehicle, almost certainly, because a clean panel reads as a cared-for car. If you are keeping it, that is your call, and we will quote it without pressure either way.

Edges are harder than the middle of a panel because there is less room to work behind and the metal is doubled over. It is often still possible. Send a photo and we will tell you honestly.

We can bring the metal back to shape, but a scratch through the paint needs paint work, which is a different service. We will show you exactly what the panel will look like after the dent comes out.

No, and any shop that promises otherwise is guessing. Where the metal has stretched badly the panel may come back to ninety percent rather than perfect. We will tell you which one we are expecting before you commit.

Because the work scales with length, not area. A crease is effectively a row of dents that all have to move together, and moving them out of sequence creates new damage.

Often, yes. Creases sit right at the boundary of what is possible, and that boundary moves with technique and access. A second opinion costs you nothing here.

Compare the repair quote to your deductible. If the repair is less, paying directly is almost always simpler and keeps the claim off your record. We will quote it so you can make that call with a real number.

Yes, and it is usually cheaper per dent than bringing them in one at a time, because the setup is shared.

Run a fingernail lightly across it. If it catches, the paint is likely broken and the repair is different. Send a photo either way and we will look.

Yes, with every repair. It is not an upsell and you do not have to ask for it.

Yes. Call the shop and we will fit it into the schedule.

Not here. Our focus is dent and hail work. For paint protection, coating, and wraps, there is a studio in the same building that specializes in exactly that, and we are happy to point you at them.
