How big is that, really?
Hail is measured against everyday objects. The brass-filled sizes below are ones that have actually come down in the Ponder area.
Anything from a quarter up will dent sheet metal. Once you're at golf-ball size and beyond, you're looking at dozens of dents, cracked glass, and busted trim — exactly the damage paintless dent repair is built to fix.
The right repair, for the best result
Preserve your factory finish
When the paint is intact, paintless dent repair reshapes the metal from behind and preserves your factory finish — the best outcome when it's the right method for the damage.
Repaired in days, not months
Most hail repairs are finished in days to weeks after your claim is approved — never months. We keep the process moving so you get your vehicle back.
We handle the claim
We work directly with your insurance on the paperwork and the repair. You're responsible for your deductible as set by your policy — we take care of the rest of the process.
Some damage needs more than PDR — and when it does, we do the paint and bodywork ourselves, with the same care and premium materials as everything we touch. One shop, one standard, start to finish.
Real hail damage, documented for the claim
Every dent gets revealed under professional lighting, then marked and counted for your insurance estimate. These are our own inspection photos — not stock.
Straight answers
Do you come to me, or do I bring the vehicle in?
A bit of both, and it's built to be easy on you. We start with a free mobile inspection — we come to you to assess the damage. From there we handle valet pickup and drop-off of your vehicle, so you don't have to rearrange your day. All repairs are done at our shop in Krum. Start with a free evaluation and we'll set up the pickup.
Will a hail claim raise my insurance rate?
Hail is classified as a "comprehensive" (weather) claim, not an at-fault accident, so it's treated differently than a collision. How it affects any individual policy varies by carrier — your insurer or agent can tell you exactly how yours is handled. We'll help with the claim paperwork either way.
What about my deductible?
You're responsible for your deductible as set by your policy — that part is between you and your insurer. What we do is handle the claim paperwork and the repair itself so the process is as painless as possible. Here's why we won't cover your deductible.
Is the free evaluation the same as a quote?
No. A free evaluation is us inspecting the damage and walking you through what we see — it's not a binding priced quote. It just gives you a clear picture of where things stand, with no obligation.
