The reality

Central Texas Hail and Your Vehicle

Central Texas sees real hail, and a single storm can dimple every horizontal panel. The damage is usually cosmetic dents rather than broken paint, which is exactly what paintless dent repair is built for.

Paintless Dent Repair for Hail

Most hail dents can be removed with PDR when the paint has not cracked, which keeps your factory finish and is faster than conventional body work. Where a panel is too far gone, we repair and refinish it the conventional way.
